How an address is written in Ethiopia

This is the order Ethiopia's postal service expects. Square brackets mark what you replace.

[Recipient name]
[Street address]
[Postal code (1000)] [City]
ETHIOPIA

A postal code is optional in Ethiopia addresses — mail is deliverable without one, though including it speeds up sorting.
