When a person writes in to ask for his name to be removed from our mailing list, he must not simply be deadfiled and reactivated with the next Amnesty declared.

A person who says or writes in "to stop sending me information or letters" and who is threatening legal action if our mailings continue, should be treated as follows. The addresso plate is put into a separate drawer which is never activated until the person writes to "put me back on", and also has clearance to be put back on the list from the nearest Guardian's Office.

An Amnesty does not put this category back on our list.
