Neither the envelope nor the letter enclosed said anything about a 
subscription! Rather the envelope had "URGENT - Expiration Notification" 
printed on the outside and the letter inside informed you that this was 
your last opportunity to upgrade to WriteNow 3.0 before the special price 
of $49.95 expires.

Understand? Good.
