 Dear Userous Bastards,
 I have finally come to my senses and realize you and other "credit" companies are the prime cause of the downfall of Western Civilisation as we know it. 
 Since I am loathe to be part of my own destruction, I must insist that you cancel my Credit Card #---- ---- ---- ----, as soon as you receive this letter. (Which is sent w/ delivery confirmation)
 Please know that I do not wish to receive any unsolicited offers from you or your minions from Hell, so remove my name and address from your marketing lists.
 To recap, cancel account number xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx upon receipt of this letter.
 Remove my name from your customer / Marketing lists. Do not call me to re-instate or send any unsolicited offers from your company or any third party you sell names to.
 Please send a confirming letter showing the cancellation to my return address as soon as this is accomplished.
 Sincerely,
   Allen ( your former credit slave) Craft
 Of course, signing YOUR name will mean more, but this letter is what I send.
