Win Back Churned UserAbout this email
This email serves to confirm a user's intent to cancel their subscription to Semrush. It clearly outlines the consequences of cancellation, including the loss of specific project data after 30 days, and provides a time-sensitive, single-use link to finalize the cancellation. The structure is straightforward and functional, using bullet points for clarity, and the tone is neutral and informative, emphasizing important user actions and deadlines.
Why this works
**Why this works.** The subject line names the action (confirm cancellation) rather than pleading to stay, which removes the manipulative feel and actually builds trust right when the user is most skeptical. The pattern here is "meet users in their stated intent, then reframe the cost"; you can lift it for any churn confirmation email where you want to re-engage without triggering defensive resistance.
