Vital Communities List Migration/01-move-announcement

Sample Announcement Text

Subject: Important: $announcement_subject

Hello,

On $transition_date, the $old_list_name listserv will move from $previous_provider to UVLists, the volunteer-run nonprofit taking responsibility for Upper Valley community email lists.$rename_notice

<b>Want to stay on the list?</b>
No action is needed. We will transfer your subscription and preserve your individual-message or digest delivery preference.

<b>Prefer not to move to UVLists?</b>
Unsubscribe from the existing list by $opt_out_deadline using either method below. Anyone who unsubscribes by the deadline will not be transferred.

<b>What to expect</b>

Until the move, continue sending list messages to $old_posting_address.

Beginning on $transition_date, send list messages to $posting_address.

You will receive a final notice from the $previous_provider list, followed by a welcome message from UVLists with instructions for using the new list.

<b>More information before the move</b>

As the transition date approaches, UVLists will send additional information to help you get ready, including:
  - Steps you can take to help ensure UVLists messages reach your inbox rather than your spam or junk folder.
  - Contact cards you can add to your address book with the new list posting address.
  - Reminders about the transition date and how to use the new list.

You can also visit the migration page on our wiki for details about the move, answers to common questions, and updates:

<b>How to opt out</b>

To opt out of the transfer, you need to unsubscribe from the existing $old_list_name list by $opt_out_deadline. You can do this on the web or by email.

<b>On the web:</b>
  1. Open $previous_unsubscribe_url
  2. Enter the email address where you receive list messages.

Follow the instructions and complete any required confirmation.

<b>By email:</b>

From the email address where you receive list messages, send a blank message to $previous_unsubscribe_address

If you receive a confirmation request, follow its instructions to complete your unsubscribe request.

Unsubscribing takes you off the existing list and prevents your subscription from being transferred. If you stay subscribed through the move, you can still unsubscribe from UVLists at any time.

<b>Need help?</b>

For questions about the move or help unsubscribing, contact $support_address.$extra_note

Thank you for being part of your community’s list.
