Answer

Dear XXXXXXXXXXXX

Unfortunately, you have been appropriately served - this is called "substituted service" which is usually done when someone has been avoiding service - when that occurs the law allows for service via mail However, the envelope needs to be marked "personal and confidential" -

"Substituted Service" is the personal service of the Subpoena on someone other than the the witness at the actual place of business or place of residence of the witness. The server must then mail a copy of the Subpoena to the witness by nothing less than first class mail to the actual place of business or place of residence of the witness.

There is also "Conspicuous Service" which is the service of the Subpoena by leaving it at the residence or place of business of the witness. Prior to leaving the Subpoena, the server must make at least two attempts. If no one is found on either attempt, on the third try the Subpoena may be affixed to the door with adhesive tape, and a copy must be mailed to the residence of the witness by first class mail. Again, the envelope must be marked "personal and confidential"

Best of success to you,
