https://opt-out.eu/ is a service run by AFAIR someone on HN (spotted it today, can't find the source comment). Select a company, fill out a form, and you're done[0].

This is the template they seem to be using for erasure requests: https://github.com/opt-out-eu/opt-out/blob/master/src/email-....

[0] - Maybe. I'm not endorsing it, I just found it today. I wish someone (maybe the author) could say something more about the validity of such process, and whether this kind of e-mail is enough in practice.

One of the authors here. Thanks for mentioning us! I personally use the service and can testify it works. Just used it last week following the Apollo breach to have them remove me from their database. The service is free and open source. Happy to answer any questions!
