    Royal Mail have advised that there are currently severe delays to Canadian mail due to ongoing strike action. Currently any mail bound for Canada is being held at Royal Mail's international distribution centre until further notice.

    We get a lot of requests to cancel letters, most of our letter cancellation requests are usually due to the user discovering they made a typo or may have typed in the address of the recipient incorrectly.

    We appreciate that we are all human and make mistakes, so we have introduced some new functionality onto our site. The ability to request the cancellation of a letter from your PC2Paper account instead of having to raise a support ticket.

    PLEASE NOTE: It is not always possible to cancel a letter that has been submitted on our site and we ask because of this, that users make use of our preview functionality to ensure the letter is correct.

    Step 1

    To request cancel a letter you may have sent in error navigate to the "Waiting to be sent" folder from the "My Letters" section of the site. You will discover a new drop down menu here called "Actions". From this menu select "cancel letter"
