How To Send Email When You're Dead
The Narrative Fallacy writes "'The Last Messages Club' is a new service that sends personal emails written prior to one's death to loved ones in the future. The messages can range from a final love letter, guidance for someone left behind, a list of instructions, details on life insurance and other financial information. 'No one likes to think about their impending "demise," but it is much better to be fully-prepared, so that there is less stress on your loved ones after you pass away,' says founder Geoff Reiss. The system works by giving each member a secure and private vault where they are able to create messages to be sent specifically to their chosen recipient. A secure process ensures that messages are only sent after at least two people appointed by the user have confirmed that you have died and other safety criteria are met. 'I thought at first that maybe it was a bit ghoulish but on consideration I think it's a great idea as it would be nice for loved ones to receive messages from me when I'm no longer here,' says a technical adviser to the company. 'It's strange really as it makes you confront your own mortality in a sense.'"

What if you are undead? Does the email get sent?
Ask not for who the inbox chimes; it chimes for thee
"Sorry love, seems like I snuffed it, lol. Try 2 take care of the kidz!"
Chronologically late.
Now, if they could guarantee getting me a posthumous FP on /. it would be worth a look. They could call it "lastfirstpost.com" or something.
Of course, you might get sent to hell for that.
I prefer rogues to imbeciles because they sometimes take a rest.
Sounds like a brilliant idea! What if laststatusupdate.com for example, changes my facebook status from single (we all know this is slashdot) to passed away.
Maybe my twitter could be along the lines of "now i'm in a better place than my parents basement".
Ok yes, it's creepy...
Some people will go to very great lengths in order to get "the last word" in on anything. If you are one of those people, this service is for you!
This could give a whole new meaning to 'mailer daemon'...
Be smart, help people!
What do I need this service for? I use windows, so when I pass away the malware on my computer will continue to send thousands of emails every day.
