If sent to a specific person for resolution, seal with "For Named Person Only." The outer envelope is labeled as if sending regular documents and sealed with the symbol "A."

Documents and materials classified as "Top Secret" and "Secret" are protected by one layer of envelope. The outer envelope is stamped with the letters "B" and "C" corresponding to the secrecy level of the enclosed classified state secrets.
