Chapter 24
Forms and Such
This chapter contains samples of many of the forms
mentioned in the book. It also contains a copy of the APS Code of Ethics.
You will find the following items:
1. Form 8283 and instructions from the Internal Revenue Service. This is
the form you use when you donate stamps over $500 to a charity.

do so.

circuit books.

5. Form 3615 from the USPS. This is the form you would use to get a permit
to use precanceled stamps including service-inscribed stamps. The permit
is free, and you can use the stamps to mail individual letters.

| Some postmasters will be hesitant to give you a
permit. This is mostly because they are not familiar with it. Tell
them it is covered in section 604.3.5 of the Domestic Mail Manual.
That will solve 99% of the problems. |
