Dear Sirs: I am writing to request the cancellation of the Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) policy attached to my mortgage. As you are aware, Federal law allows for the cancellation of PMI when certain LTV ratios are met through the normal amortization of a mortgage, or amortization coupled with market appreciation.
You can typically remove PMI if market conditions lead to a significant increase in your home's value. You have to make a request with your lender and order a new appraisal. The appraisal confirms your property value rose enough to where you own the required amount of equity.
To Whom It May Concern, This letter is to inform you of my intention to cancel my home insurance policy {policy number} effective {cancellation date}. Please refund any unused portion of my home insurance premium. Please send written confirmation of this letter within 30 days.
Here's a tip:
The word cancellation is solidly spelled with two l's, no matter where you are.

Contact your insurer or agent to find the best way to cancel your policy. Some insurance companies permit you to cancel right over the phone or online. Other insurers may require written notification or a signed document.
The cancellation of homeowners insurance can lead to changes in your mortgage terms and payments. Force-placed insurance often results in higher premiums, which are added to your monthly mortgage payment. This increase can further strain your budget, making it more difficult to keep up with mortgage payments.
The Bottom Line: Removing PMI Can Help Ease Your Financial Burden. Mortgage insurance gives many home buyers the option to pay a smaller amount upfront for their downpayment. However, it increases the monthly payment until you're able to remove it.
If the borrower is current on mortgage payments, PMI must be cancelled automatically once the LTV reaches 78 percent based on the original amortization schedule or when the midpoint of the amortization period is reached (i.e., 15 years on a 30-year mortgage).
All you have to do is request in writing that the private mortgage insurance be canceled (most lenders have a brief form which must be filled out) and provide the lender with proof of sufficient equity over 20%. In most cases, the necessary proof is a state certified appraisal.
Request PMI removal: You can request the cancellation of PMI once your LTV ratio reaches 80% of the property's original value or lower. You may have to submit a formal request to your loan provider, along with documentation such as proof of home value and a solid payment history.
Pay Down Your Mortgage to Have PMI Removed Automatically
Here's the deal: Mortgage lenders are required to cancel PMI once you've paid your mortgage down to 78% of your home's purchase price or after you've reached the halfway point of your loan term.
Private mortgage insurance (PMI) is a type of mortgage insurance you might be required to buy if you take out a conventional loan with a down payment of less than 20 percent of the purchase price. PMI protects the lender—not you—if you stop making payments on your loan.
