The proper order for a company’s mail distribution process is:
- Open - The mail is opened first to assess its contents.
- Date-stamp - The mail is typically date-stamped after being opened to record when it was received.
- Sort - The opened and date-stamped mail is then sorted based on criteria such as department, urgency, etc.
- Distribute - Finally, the sorted mail is distributed to the appropriate recipients.
So the correct sequence is: open, date-stamp, sort, distribute.
