1. An assembly of unitary construction for providing information relating to an individual, said assembly comprising, in combination:

an envelope including a front envelope panel and a rear envelope panel attached to said front envelope panel, said front envelope panel and said rear envelope panel defining an envelope interior and an envelope opening communicating with said envelope interior, said rear envelope panel having a back surface with adhesive thereon; and

a double-sided information sheet releasably adhesively connected at one side thereof to said rear envelope panel by the adhesive on the back surface of the rear envelope panel, the other side of said information sheet having a surface for providing textual information relating to the individual, said information sheet being manually removable from the adhesive on the back surface of said rear envelope panel and insertable into the envelope interior, said adhesive on the back surface of said rear envelope panel being exposed upon removal of said information sheet from said rear envelope panel enabling said adhesive on the back surface of said rear envelope panel to adhesively secure said envelope to the individual'"'"'s clothing, said front envelope panel having a front envelope panel portion projecting upwardly from and beyond said rear envelope panel, said front envelope panel portion having a back surface with adhesive thereon, said assembly additionally comprising a double-sided supplemental sheet releasably connected at one side thereof to said front envelope panel portion by the adhesive on the back surface of said front envelope panel portion, said supplemental sheet being manually removable from the adhesive on the back surface of said front envelope panel portion, the adhesive on the back surface of said front envelope panel portion being exposed upon removal of the supplemental sheet from said front envelope panel portion enabling the adhesive on the back surface of said front envelope panel portion to adhesively secure said front envelope panel portion to the individual'"'"'s clothing wherein said envelope has opposed side edges, said information sheet and said supplemental sheet extending from side edge to side edge of said envelope, said information sheet having a fold line facilitating folding said information sheet prior to insertion thereof into said envelope interior; and

said supplemental sheet projects beyond upwardly beyond said front envelope panel portion.

2. The assembly according to claim 1 wherein said information sheet and said supplemental sheet are separately removable.

3. The assembly according to claim 1 wherein said envelope front panel is opaque and has printed matter thereon alerting an observer to the fact that the information sheet is in the envelope.

4. The assembly according to claim 1 wherein said adhesive on the back surface of said front envelope panel portion substantially covers said front envelope panel portion back surface and wherein the adhesive on the back side of said rear envelope panel substantially covers said rear envelope panel back surface.

5. The assembly according to claim 1 wherein said envelope has a top end, a bottom end and opposed side edges, said envelope opening located between said top end and said bottom end and disposed along an imaginary straight line extending between said opposed side edges.

6. An assembly of unitary construction for providing information relating to an individual, said assembly comprising, in combination:

an envelope including a front envelope panel and a rear envelope panel attached to said front envelope panel, said front envelope panel and said rear envelope panel defining an envelope interior and an envelope opening communicating with said envelope interior, said rear envelope panel having a back surface with adhesive thereon;

a double-sided information sheet releasably adhesively connected at one side thereof to said rear envelope panel by the adhesive on the back surface of the rear envelope panel, the other side of said information sheet having a surface for providing textual information relating to the individual, said information sheet being manually removable from the adhesive on the back surface of said rear envelope on the back surface of said rear envelope panel being exposed upon removal of said information sheet from said rear envelope panel enabling said adhesive on the back surface of said rear envelope panel to adhesively secure said envelope to the individual'"'"'s clothing, said front envelope panel having a front envelope panel portion extending upwardly beyond the rear panel and disposed above said envelope opening and said information sheet and said rear envelope panel disposed below said envelope opening, and adhesive on a back surface of said front envelope panel portion for securing the front envelope panel portion to the individual'"'"'s clothing above the location of the envelope opening to retain the information sheet in the envelope interior after insertion of the information sheet therein wherein said envelope has opposed side edges, said information sheet and said supplemental sheet extending from side edge to side edge of said envelope, said information sheet having a fold line facilitating folding said information sheet prior to insertion thereof into said envelope interior; and
