Business Reply Mail
Explanation:
I'm quite sure that Carta-resposta is "business reply mail". I have a couple right in front of me: inside an issue of National Geographic Magazine & inside an issue of Family Circle.
According to the UPS Glossary, BRM (Business Reply Mail) – a service that enables mailers to receive First-Class Mail® back from customers by paying postage only on the mail actually returned to them by their customers.

According to Datalistas and others:

http://datalistas.abril.com.br/glossario.htmlCarta-Resposta

Forma de correspondência oferecida como um serviço dos Correios, caracterizada pela cobrança da postagem por quem a receba, e não por quem a poste. A carta-resposta terá sempre o formato de um envelope, no qual poderão ser inseridos pedidos, cheques ou peças a serem devolvidas pelo cliente. A tarifa postal é igual à da correspondência com o mesmo peso. Tem medidas máximas e mínimas definidas pelo Correio, mas poderá haver exceções mediante aprovação prévia de formatos com o agente postal.

business reply letter


Explanation:
This is another possibility if it refers, for example, to purchase of goods. The company could have sent out a business reply letter (postage paid) for the buyer to fill in with the goods requested and then send back.
