Re: Cancellation of subscription — account [your account number]
To whom it may concern,
I am writing to cancel my Adobe Creative Cloud subscription (account / member number [your account number]), effective immediately, or at the end of the current billing period if that is required.
Please stop all recurring charges to my payment method as of the effective date, and send me written confirmation of the cancellation, including the date it takes effect.
I am exercising my right to cancel under the Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act (15 U.S.C. § 8403), which requires sellers to provide a simple way to stop recurring charges. Please do not condition this cancellation on a phone call, a retention offer or any other step.
If I am charged after the effective date, I will dispute the charge with my bank or card issuer.
Thank you for processing this request.
Sincerely, Jane Doe
