How to address the envelope
Copy it exactly onto the envelope
Address the envelope to 69 Morrison Street, PO Box 24171, EH3 8BU Edinburgh, United Kingdom. Everything on those lines matters for the sorting machines, so nothing is abbreviated by hand.
Add your return address
Top-left, your own name and address. A return address is what the post office needs to send the letter back if Scottish Widows has moved.
Send it by certified mail
Ask at the counter for the certified service with a return receipt: the fee is on top of the postage, the receipt is postmarked, and the article number traces the delivery.
Keep the proof together
The postmarked receipt, the tracking record and your signed copy of the letter are the set that proves the request.
The cancellation letter
The request itself is short: Scottish Widows is asked to end the account, stop the charges and confirm in writing, with the policy number, the full name of the policyholder and the date of your last payment where the brackets are.
