Not Life After Death -- Email After Death 312
Rick Zeman writes "Wanna send that one last email after you're dead and gone? CNN has an article about a service that will give the 21st century equivalent to a old-fashioned note in a drawer except that this could be more targeted '...by offering people the chance to write one last e-mail, complete with video clip or photo attachments, and send it to loved ones, friends or even enemies after the person who wrote it is dead.'"

It is quite disconcerting to contact you in such a manor however I bring terrible and rewarding news. If you are reading this email than I have in-fact died. I am Mr.Michael Shaw, the son of the former Liberia finance minister (Mr. Emmanuel Shaw) under the past government of Charles Taylor. In my will you have been left a large portion of my property and cash holdings. This totals the sum of 10,000,000 US dollars which is rightfully yours. You are receiving this email because you are the direct descendant of me. This email was sent with advanced software that was able to inform you after my death. Please forward of your back account numbers with routing numbers to me accountant Sir Richard Webber to begin the transfer of funds.
Regards, Mr. Michael Shaw

Now that I am dead, I can say anything I want without getting fired.
You are a horses ass. No, wait. You are a bleeding hemmoroid of a horses ass. You steal everybody's ideas, you read stupid magazines and then follow every management fad known to man. You don't listen to my warnings and then blame me when the warning comes true.
You hold meetings just so you can be the head cheese, but you say nothing and know nothing of importance.
Further, your kids are ugly and stupid, just like their father. And, a similar email has just told your wife about that affair you had with Lisa.
See ya in hell, Mike the Corpse.

Reminds me of a Joke: Email from the Afterlife (Score:2, Funny)
the following day. The husband checked into the hotel.
There was a computer in his room, so he decided to send an e-mail to his wife.
However, he accidentally left out one letter in her e-mailaddress, and without
realizing his error, he sent the e-mail.
Meanwhile...somewhere in Houston, a widow had just returned home from her
husband's funeral. He was a minister of many years who was called home to
glory following a sudden heart attack. The widow decided to check her
e-mail, expecting messages from relatives and friends. After reading the
first message, she fainted.
The widow's son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor, and
saw the computer screen which read:
To: My Loving Wife
Subject: I've Arrived
Date: 16 May 2003
I know you're surprised to hear from me. They have
computers here now and you are allowed to send e-mails to your loved ones.
I've just arrived and have been checked in.
I see that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow.
Looking forward to seeing you then!
Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was.
P.S. Sure is hot down here!

Why don't we make a company that text messages the family's cell phones with a URL, which has a form that they have to fill out, which sends them an email with the location of the hand-written note that tells them to refer to the amendment to the will stored in the lawyer's filing cabinet that tells the family members they're not getting any money because they're all too fucking stupid to deserve any?
This service will be popular with the ring tone and Claria/Gator crowd, which means they'll make millions. Eventually, they'll find a way to set up kiosks at Walmart so people can retrieve their loved ones' final words and have them printed on the base of a battery-powered fiber optic color-changing angel with big teardrop eyes and fake feathers glued to the wings.

If you are reading this, it is because I am dead. And in a very short while, you will be too... I have arranged for my estate to be liquidated and the proceeds given to someone eminently qualified to kill you. You will know fear, and you will know pain and then you will die.
