    "z.Hd." is used in German-speaking countries when you're writing to a Company, and need to address the letter to a specific employee.

    "Musterfirma AG
    z.Hd. Max Muster
    Beispielstr. 12
    D-77666 Beispielshausen"

    I'd feel uncomfortable writing to

    "Max Muster
    Musterfirma AG
    Beispielstr. 12
    D-77666 Beispielshausen"

    ... and the mail service might send it back because the first line is not the addressee [the mail is delivered to Musterfirma AG].

    So how, in English, does one write the "z.Hd."?

    I'd use

    "Musterfirma AG
    Mr. Max Muster
    Beispielstr. 12
    UK YX666 Exampleton"

    I would not have understood this abbreviation and only know
    FAO as an abbreviation for Food and Agriculture Organization
    Is it maybe US?

    Suggestionc/o, C/o, ℅ or‎ c/- are most commonly used for mailing, standing for the expression 'care of' [abbreviation][prep.]
    Sources
    1. Abbreviation of care of.


    1.1. To Anna McCalister c/o Bob Goodman (“Anna at Bob's address”).

     

    1.2. Send your mail to me c/o Mr John Smith.


    1.3. “But he sent it to you, didn't he?” “No, he sent it to himself c/o me.”

    Comment

    c/o, C/o,  orc/- are most commonly used for mailing, standing for the expression 'care of'.



    Care of, usually abbreviated as c/o on envelopes, signifies an intermediary who is responsible for transferring a piece of mail between the postal system and the final addressee. For example when the addressee has no standard address, is under a corporate mail system, is at a friend's address where surname is required to identify the post box, or is being manually forwarded mail sent to a more accessible location.

    #7 - Was du schreibst, stimmt zwar, passt aber nicht genau zu dieser 12 Jahre alten Anfrage. 

    Die Verwendung von "c/o" entspricht nicht der Verwendung von "z. Hd.". Dieses Beispiel sollte dies verdeutlichen:


    Musterfirma AG

    z. Hd. Max Muster


    vs.


    Max Muster

    c/o Musterfirma AG

    Das "z.Hd." gilt in der deutschen Geschäftskorrespondenz mittlerweile als veraltet ... es reich :


    Musterfirma AG

    Herrn Max Muster

    Musterstraße 123

    12345 Musterstadt

    Zustimmung für no me bré.


    Der Unterschied zwischen


    Musterfirma AG

    Herrn Max Muster


    und

    Herrn Max Muster

    Musterfirma AG


    liegt darin, dass das erste Beispiel an die Firma gerichtet ist; die Post also von die verantwortliche Person der Postbearbeitung geöffnet werden kann. Bei dem zweiten Beispiel erhält Max Muster den Brief ungeöffnet.
