宛てて書く is not an idiomatic/compound verb. It's just two verbs, connected using the te-form.

宛てて is the te-form of the verb 宛てる (to address (a letter)), and this kind of te-form describes how or under what circumstances the second verb (書く) is done. In general, this type of V1 + て/で + V2 can be translated as "V2 (while) doing V1" or "V2 by doing V1".

Examples:

  • 歩いて学校に行く go to school by walking / go to school on foot
  • 包丁を使ってたまねぎを切る cut an onion using a knife
  • 未来の自分に宛てて手紙を書く write a letter addressing the future self
  • 注意して歩く walk while paying attention / walk with attention
  • 遊んで過ごす live an idle life
