Junk mail
If you are being plagued by unwanted mail from a particular company, send the
offending company a postcard with their mailing label affixed to the back of the
postcard. Slash a line through the name and address and write: "DECEASED, please
remove from mailing list."
It may take six months to a year to be rid of most unwanted junk mail because
some companies use old lists. For us, after a year, almost all mail was being
sent to the new man.
| Once a company has been notified that you are deceased, they
usually remove you from their mailing list - but sometimes they get
confused. One man was being pestered by a company that kept sending
catalogs to his old name. Finally, he wrote to the mail order company
telling them to quit sending catalogs because the man they were writing
to was deceased. A few weeks later the company sent a catalog addressed
to "Leo Hughes Deceased." |
