Ah, the breakup email. That great conveyor belt from his or her heart to yours. They can range from the curt, the seething, the raging, the jealous, the desperate, the needy, to the conniving. Many cover all of these bases. Not since the invention of the breakup-by-carrier-pigeon has technology so enabled people to pour it all out, unseen in some basement or internet cafe, so that it may live forever in the blinking lights and far-flung tubes of the Interwebs.
Sure, Britney may have dumped K-Fed using SMS, Facebook is taking over some dumping action for the youngs (who then tweet about it), but these are just flashes in the pan. Email is where it’s at for the modern, sophisticated dumper.
This is where the best of those emails end up, memorialized for all mankind as a tribute to love lived and love lost, but mostly love flubbed.
Are you the recipient of such an email? Want to see it immortalized? Send it in, damnit!
We’ll keep things anonymous and allow the world to gaze in aghast at your love that once was, in all of its smouldering glory.
-Rob.
