Notice: Yahoo! Mail Plus Account Overdue Reminder (30 Days Before Service Is Cancelled)
Dear [my real first name -- which is not my yahoo id],
Thank you using Yahoo! Mail Plus. Unfortunately, we were unable to process your credit card when we tried to renew your Yahoo! Mail Plus service. This usually happens when the credit card you used to pay for the service has expired, or when we don't have the current billing address for the card. Please note that your Yahoo! Mail Plus account will be cancelled if payment is not received.
Please check the credit card information that we have for you online at https://billing.yahoo.com and make sure that the information is current, complete and accurate. If you don't want to lose the features of Yahoo! Mail Plus - enhanced spam protection, 20MB message size, and more, you should update your billing information now to avoid any interruption in this service.
