OT: Cancelling a contract for work/servies within 3 days Q's, Need to cancel getting house painted... Options

[Mueller]

We had signed a contract on Sunday (11/19) to get our house painted on the outside plus getting some other work done at the same time.

Work was to start in early Dec.

I recieved some bad news from my mother today and a bunch of other finacial headaces popped up today which could end up costing us thousands of $$$...needless to say, a paint job and work on the house is the last thing we need.

I read the contract for cancelling and it states the following:

If you cancel by mail or telegram, you must send the notice no later than midnight of 11-22-2006 (or midnight the 3rd business day) If you send or deliver your written notice to cancel some other way, it must be delivered to the above address no later than that time.

Since the 22nd is tom. and the company address to send the Notice of Right to Cancel is down in Canoga Park about 800 miles away, hand delivering is out of the question. Will simply mailing it or using FedEx work as long as it is post marked before midnight of 11-22-2006???


thanks....
