    ____ Declines
  • For the year, it should be "two thousand thirteen" not "two thousand AND thirteen"

    The "and" indicates a decimal point, so, mathimatically speaking, you are writing 2000.13. 

    I don't think it's a big deal, but technically there shouldn't be an "and."
  • Definitely include an option to "decline" on your reply card otherwise they might just not send it back and leave you hanging wondering if they are coming

    This is not correct.   The 'and' in the year is grammatically correct and belongs there.

    That said, it's a minor detail.
  • Thank you all so much!

    It is a full mass, so I will look into the wording that was provided for that.
