In the unlikely event that he does show up again, they'll be the company with their foot in the door already. Maybe it was a just-in-case letter… y’know, as an insurance policy of sorts.

Yes, I would imagine that the aunt wouldn't be interested in being a customer anymore. Not much use for a telephone when you're underground. I'm not sure about the legal stuff here in the States. I'm thinking that sometime in the recent past, I saw something about a family suing a company because they had sent a letter to a deceased family member. I don't recall the details though. However, it wouldn't surprise me. I know that here in the States, fat people have sued McDonalds for "making them fat" - and won. Hah!

I guess that fairly often happens in bigger companies. My boss lately told me that her aunt, who had passed away a few weeks ago, received a letter from the phone company: "Dear Mrs XY, We've annotated in our files that you are no longer interested in being our customer..." She gave that letter to the local newspaper :-) By the way, I guess in Germany (Where freedom of opinion seems to be nonexistent) you could get a legal notice for a post like this . How is the situation in the USA? Ouch.
