Searching for Emails

Model & Explain

Unsubscribe

Model & Explain

Sometimes if you buy a product or sign up for a service, the company will keep your email. Sometimes they will send you many emails (advertisements, coupons, newsletters).

​

It is a LAW that these emails must have an “Unsubscribe” button at the bottom of the email so they will stop sending you emails.
