[unwanted mail]

Don't re-address the unwanted mail.

Cross out the address with a single line. Write "not known at this
address" and sling it in a post box.

Royal Mail will contact the sender and request that they remove the
recipeint from the mailing list. The sender has a legal duty to comply and
can be fined if they don't.

I've used this method to get rid of unwanted mail addressed to my late
father and more recently, the hundreds of letters we used to get for
previous residents in my student accommodation.


I'd have thought writing "recipient deceased" would've had the same effect :) but nope
