Hi, and thanks for helping in advance.
I literally just sent a letter, and then realised I had made a very irritating mistake.
I did the following:
[Their name]
[House number, road name]
[Town]
[county]
[Semi-Wrong postcode]
The postcode was not completely wrong though, it was as such 'CnC CCC'
The 'n' is what I got wrong. It was meant to be an L but I put a 1. It was just a straight line down, so could be recognised as an L, however all the other letters in the post code were capital letters so I feel like they'll assume it was an I not a L. The person really needs it by tomorrow therefore it was a first class letter.
Any idea whether it will be held up at all? Or if it should all sort itself out and arrive tomorrow.
Thanks a bunch, just causing me a bit of stress.

it may be delayed as it might have to be manually sorted, but as it has the town and street it should arrive safely.

Any idea how long the delay would be? Would it arrive before Monday?
