... we have enclosed a self-addressed envelope.

For *our* convenience, we made it small enough to easily fit in the 
envelope *we* sent to *you*, which means the paper we want *you* to send 
to *us* will not fit in the enclosed self-addressed envelope.

Have a nice day.

In the UK we often refer to it as a "stamped addressed envelope", meaning 
they have already paid the postage for the return too.  If that's the case, 
then simply attach the SAE to a much larger and heavier envelope that can 
easily carry your papers (and any other random stuff you have lying around). 
Then drop it in the post box :-)

Unless it's British Gas or British Telecom it which case it really is a  
self-addressed envelope.

My fun is getting A4 folded sheets in a C5 envelope (~half-A4) with a SAE  
DL-envelope. So you either use the existing fold and then fold it in half  
again, which looks stupid in an envelope and can be tricky with multiple  
pages; unfold it and refold it correctly, which is annoying when trying to  
avoid the existing fold; or finally give up and stick it in one of your  
own C5 envelopes with address and postage.

Sure it will, one pass through the shredder is all it takes. ;-)

Good luck getting that in the USA, unless they're trying to get you to 
sign up for something they'll bill you for later.

No, this was just an addressed envelope. :-)
