A pair of preprinted perforated response coupons are located in the seal flap of the mailer envelope. A removable label, such as a return address label or ornamental seal, on the mailer envelope is user removed and used to simultaneously seal the response vehicle, or envelope, which has a mailing address preprinted on its front face.
