Yes, that's effective, but you don't even need to return the magazine.
Just cut out the label and mail that, along with the message you
suggested. I think the Post Office even has post cards to use for
forwarding addresses, and that could be used for this purpose. It would
be a waste of time to make a trip to the Post Office for every magazine,
but it would be easy to pick up several and keep them on hand if this is
a frequent occurrence.
