Upset your loved ones after you're dead

PEOPLE TOO SHY TO REVEAL their true feelings can now pay for a service to help them do it - after they're dead. My Last Letter will send letters to friends and relatives telling them exactly how you feel about them when you're safely dead.

The speed of delivery depends on how much you pay - it could be several months after you've been hit by a bus and your nearest and dearest are just rebuilding their lives when a virtual tear-stained letter drops onto their doormat and the grieving process is kicked off again. Nice.

Perhaps you could also cause a divorce from beyond the grave by sending an old girlfriend an explicit letter detailing how good she was in bed which is opened years later by her husband. What a laugh, eh?

The Grim Postman behind the idea, Damian Hawkins, says: “Anyone who uses the service can rest assured that they'll always be able to let their loved ones know how they truly feel… that's a huge comfort to our customers and of course the recipients of their letters.”

Alternatively, you could always take the opportunity to tell someone you love them before it's too late. You could do this by phone, email, text or, for the truly adventurous, even face to face. µ
