My ideal solicitation for digital newspaper subscriptions, although it could apply to a lot of come on’s in this age:

Hello. You can have unlimited digital access to (fill in the blank) for $4.99 a month for 12 months.

There is no 30 day discount, no hidden opt out close. But you do pay for 12 months even if you wanted out early.

You owe us $4.99 a month and it is for 12 months.

You can give us your credit card and we’ll charge you for all 12 months or $4.99 a month, up to you.

If you don’t want us to have your credit card, send us a check for the full 12 month amount and once it clears you are good for 12 months.

After your 11th month of getting our service, we will send you a notice of renewal.

We will state the amount for the next year. Unless you tell us you want to continue, we will discontinue after 12 months. If you like the price and want to continue, you will

do it the same way you signed up in the first place, card or check, etc.

It will be a pleasure doing business with you.
