With all these mailings going on, how about getting a rubber stamp (with your name and address)?
Here's a place that offers free rubber stamps (I like FREE)

Received a Request for a Full Manuscript?
Here's what to send...
Congrats on the full request!
Here's what I do with a full:
1) Create a title page for the complete including your full name and address, the final word count of the ms, and the title in all caps, centered vertically on the page.
2) Title page on top, use rubber bands to secure the ms (I use two long ones, one horizontal and one vertical).
3) Write a cover letter thanking her for her interest and including some pertinent information about the full (final word length, etc.). Keep it short. If you decide to include SASE, mention it in the letter. If you don't mind if she recyles, say so in the letter.
4) If you want the ms back, include SASE. I like the Priority Mail Tyvek envelopes you get free from the post office.
5) Slip the whole package in a Priority Mail Tyvek envelope, cover letter on top, ms in the middle, SASE on the bottom.
6) Kiss for luck, and drop in the mail.
Fingers crossed for a great response!
