You can send cash to them and a self addressed envelope. for the mailing envelope, you'll need to take that to the post office to mail out. they have stamps their that can be used for mailing to the UK or any foreign countries. It typically costs around .98 cents to mail to the UK if it's a small envelope. bigger envelopes like 9x12's will cost around $4.00 depeding on the country.

The stamps they'll use to mail it out at the post office will say '98' and will have a small airplane icon in the corner, which means it will be going air mail to get to the UK.
Around $3.00 is good for return postage as the exachange rate is a bit higher coming from the UK to the USA.
I just tell them that I'm unable to get IRC's in my area and that I've enclosed a couple dollars to help cover the cost of return postage. Done this many times and have gotten many successes back & sometimes with a note thanking me for enclosing the cash for return postage.
