Should I request signature on certified mail for my Marriott rescission letter?

Is there risk they do not sign and letter goes back to post office and is not successfully delivered?

I have never seen this reported on the forums ever. However, it doesn't hurt to send a duplicate letter via USPS First Class Mail (stamp). They can't refuse that. It is also suggested to get a Certificate of Mailing on that letter (at the post office for less than $2) as it proves you sent a letter and validates the postmark date.

Recently in another thread, a purchaser had their Certified Mail lost by the USPS, so it may be suggested to use Registered Mail instead.

I also plan to e-mail and fax

Only if it makes you feel better.
Why do you think you need to post your question twice?

USPS Certified Mail and USPS Registered Mail will NOT be delivered UNLESS it is signed for. So, the question becomes do you want to have a green card (i.e. Return Receipt) with their signature to retain for your own records? Unless you elect to pay for the green card then you as the sender will never see that signature yourself.

As @dioxide45 suggested, send a duplicate letter using a "Certificate of Mailing". It will NOT provide you a tracking number, but it will be Postmarked verifying that you are mailing it on a specific date to a specific address. Lawyers use this method all the time (and the recipient never knows it was mailed using a Certificate of Mailing until they end up in Court for something).

In any event, your Certified or Registered letter should be delivered unless it is misaddressed, or the recipient has closed or moved without providing a forwarding address, or outright refuses to sign for the letter itself.

Note: If you send the letter using a Certificate of Mailing then the recipient does not have the option to sign for it as it is simply delivered (unless it is misaddressed or the recipient has closed or moved without a forwarding address).

I do believe USPS has an Electronic Return Receipt option available for Certified Mail.

Correct. No green card needed but it is another available option for a signature......

Thanks for providing that useful link that others may want to read for themselves.

A question I have. If you send certified with a green return receipt card. Does the recipient have to sign twice? Once for Certified receipt and again on the green card? I would suspect the receipt of certified mail is electronic where the green card is pen to paper.
