Malta Address Format Breakdown
Recipient Name
Write the name of the recipient. If you are sending the mail to a business, write the company’s name in the first line. In the second line write the name of the person and in the third line, write their department. You can add ATTN. in front of the person’s name to ensure that the right office and desk receives your mail.

Or
