It couldn't have been the green return receipt postcard. Could it? <br /><br />My office uses just certified mail (no return receipt) when sending certain letters -- especially policy condition-invoking letters being sent to an insured or claimant in care of his or her attorney. We track and confirm delivery online (<a href="http://www.usps.com/shipping/trackandconfirm.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.usps.com/shipping/trackandconfirm.htm</a>) and print and save the delivery confirmation with our file copy of each letter. <br /><br />I think you may be referring to a <a href="http://www.usps.com/send/waystosendmail/extraservices/certificateofmailingservice.htm" rel="nofollow"><b>certificate of mailing</b></a>. My understanding is that certificates of mailing can only be obtained in person at the time of mailing at a US Post Office. It's doubtful that Sirius had and presented a certificate of mailing, as that should have been enough by itself to prove the D&D letter's mailing.Roy A.

My experience with certified mail receipts is that they are personally stamped at the post office by a USPS clerk. If Sirius has a certified mail receipt stamped by a USPS clerk dated 6/21 addressed to their insured and the corresponding disclaimer letter...how is that "insufficient"?Heidinoreply@blogger.com
