How to address the envelope

  1. Copy the address exactly

  2. Add the return address

    Top-left, your own name and address. A return address is what the post office needs to send the letter back if New Scientist has moved.

  3. Certified mail, not a courier

    Certified mail is bought at the post office: hand the letter to a postal employee, keep the postmarked receipt, and follow the article number until the delivery shows.

  4. Keep what the post office gives you

    Keep your copy of the letter, the receipt and the delivery record in one place. The delivery date is the one to quote if the account is billed again.

The letter, written out

What the letter to New Scientist says: one clear cancellation request, no reasons given, the email on the account, the delivery address for print copies and the subscription or reference number from your latest invoice quoted, and a request for written confirmation.
