So I have been unable to quickly confirm this on the post office directly, but the commonly cited rule online is quoted as 917.243(b).
If we can believe the multiple sources and the rule hasn’t been changed, I recalled it a little incorrectly. Using such a letter as a label is legal but if they deem it an improper usage, like directly mailing a brick with the letter taped to it, they reserve the right to just dispose of it. No trouble for the sender though, so it can’t hurt.
Is that even legal? How far could this go? Could I overnight a pallet of bricks? I don’t think I need to provide a return address.
It’s not legal anymore but that doesn’t mean you’ll get caught
Source on the legality change? I’ve never heard about a law that would apply to this.

Has long as your mail carrier can pick it up
This would only apply to a postcard/envelope…funny thought though.
Stuff the envelope with the rest of your junk mail.
Ah but then they know who mailed it.
