Dear Richard:
I feel that I can now discuss what I have wanted to say for so long. I have been trying to think of a way to put this into words, but the way has eluded me. Do you know what I mean?
I hate to be the bearer of bad, unfortunate news, but I sincerely believe that we are not right for each other. I have turned the situation over and over in my head and this is not a decision that I make lightly. You were sweet and polite, but something was missing, and I'm so very sorry that it has come down to this.
As a consolation, I am sure that you will find happiness elsewhere. The world is a big place and there is so much love, I am sure you will find your share. It will be a beautiful thing for you and yours. Please do not attempt to change my mind. My decision, I'm afraid, is final. I am available for emotional counseling if you are in need.
Fondly,
Marcy
She's da bomb! Why didn't you fall madly in love with her?
ReplyDeleteThis is the hallmark of a person that takes themselves way too seriously.
ReplyDelete^Either that or Marcy had a date with another Richard a couple of days earlier and sent this message to the wrong one.
ReplyDelete. . . or an absolutely straight-faced troll.
ReplyDeleteThat said, this site has shown me that there are actually people in the world who are this crazy.
^ Whoops! That last comment was meant to come right after churro's.
ReplyDelete"I am available for emotional counseling if you are in need."
ReplyDeleteSounds legit.
I'd say she had a relationship in the 8-month gap, which probably ended with her getting dumped, and she's looking for a little ego boost.
ReplyDeleteI'd say she uses a form letter any time she wants to dump a guy. I don't know why he received it so later, but it sounds generic - like a bad horoscope.
