Your signing it with a legal name, even with a notary may work against you but I do not know that for sure. I have some ideals I apply with suitors, including an expensive evidence repository at the US courthouse. In an honest world you should be able to write Refusal for Cause and hand it back to them - and it is over.
One fellow had a traffic matter and he met me. We did the R4C on IRS stuff. But he caught on quickly and went into the first arraignment like you agreed to because it was too late (3 days had passed). They gave him that yellow notice of the next hearing and he wrote Refusal for Cause on it. Then he walked up to the bench saying:
He put it on the magistrate's bench and left.
I thought that pretty amazing. He kept no copy for himself and if he ever needed to prove the R4C he would have to rely on the municipal court's record and tape recorder. But then this suitor was a former Army Ranger too. Not very easily intimidated those guys.

Not for sure on the notary myself but if it is a matter of using something....anything....that gives them the edge to say there is a contract then I would think that just using the post office would have done that anyway.
All I know is that notary has worked for me because it is assigning a witness and one accepted by the State registered in. The presumption (ha!) for innocence is unresolved still at this time so that should be determined right up to the point of public acknowledgment which is in a courtroom setting.
What DM said. If the refusal for cause does not work, then you might want to still show up at court. They have 10 days to dispose so 10 days after you send it or 13 if you want to give them additional time, I would call to find out the status of the case and if it is still on the docket, then show up and tell them the above.
