How to Write a Cancellation Email That Works
Cancelling a subscription by email should be straightforward, but many companies make it deliberately difficult. Here's what makes a cancellation email effective:
Include These Key Elements
- Clear subject line with the word "cancel" and your account name
- Account identification — your name, email, and account number if you have it
- Explicit request — state that you want to cancel, not pause or downgrade
- Confirmation request — ask for written confirmation of cancellation
- Legal reference — mentioning the FTC rule shows you know your rights
Common Company Tactics to Watch For
- Retention offers — discounts designed to keep you subscribed
- Transfer loops — being passed between departments
- Delayed processing — "your cancellation will take 30 days"
- Account pause instead of cancel — charges resume later
Our templates are designed to counter these tactics. The "Firm (Anti-Retention)" template is especially effective for companies known to push back on cancellations.
