Remitente means sender: the person or company sending the letter or package.

Destinatario means recipient / addressee: the person who receives it.

So in postal language:

• remitente = sender
• destinatario = recipient

Why does the sentence start with el?

El is the masculine singular definite article, meaning the.

So el remitente = the sender.

Spanish usually needs an article where English sometimes does too, and sometimes even where English would leave it out. Here, it is simply identifying a specific sender.

In Spanish, adjectives usually come after the noun.
