I worked in the HR department of a company, and had to send out condolence letters when employees passed away, which were form letters just like this where we filled in the blanks with the employee’s name. I don’t think I ever sent one out like this one though. lol
I remember when I was growing up he was always my favorite *RELATIONSHIP*. I’m sure Name and Recipient felt the same way about him. He will be sorely missed.
In Canada at the employment office, we would actually type a one of a kind letter when people die. Then it is proofread. The rest of North America lacks the ability to think of this.
It’s not that we haven’t thought of it — I used to work for a literary agency and we wrote personalized rejection letters for every manuscript we turned down. We were a smaller agency and it still took forever. As cold as it sounds, the form letters allow the company (especially if it is a larger one) to be more efficient (read: lazier! yay!).
Suprised it didnt say “send the following paperwork so we can [ insert hugh lie ]
I hear that *INSERT* was a good man. He will surely be missed by *RELATIONSHIP*.
But but… he/she was such a great guy/gal…

I sniffed that point on the monitor but do not smell anything but the sweet smell of despair and bolied cabbage, oh wait thats me.
Atleast he got something, when my dad died all i got was a small box of his ashes, i threw it in the trash. – true story
Reminds me of an urban legend in which this family made porridge out of their uncle’s ashes.
Isn’t that how they ate Captain Lawrence Oates ?
Might have been.
But he died in a blizzard. Unless there was another Oates, which I assumed you were referring to.
Actually my comment was half food gag / half red dwarf reference
Well, if they DID eat him, that would’ve made them gag!
Thus creating the original Oatemeal.
*blarg*
ba boom chhh

I found it on the Internet-it MUST be true!
*snork*

Ahh, earworm.
Cause of death?
No ,the guys name.
There’s this song by SOAD called Mr. Jack.
Oh.
lol you had me scanning the photo for a few minutes looking for some esoteric detail I missed about earworm
Just in case
Insert died? You could always count on him to keep a party up.
I remember when I was growing up he was always my favorite *RELATIONSHIP*. I’m sure Name and Recipient felt the same way about him. He will be sorely missed.
Reminds me of Portal 1
You “Subject name here” must be the pride of “subject hometown here”
LOL yes man. Just what I was thinking.
Don’t forget:
‘The value of the device is now more than the combined incomes and internal organs of [subject hometown here].’
Insert is dead??? No wonder when I correct m rt of the text is missing.
What a thoughtful and touching letter from Big Insurance Company. I guess it’s true when they say “We Really Care”.

*INSERT TROLL HERE*
You can take your *ITEM1* and stick it in your *ITEM2*.
I wonder how Insert, *Relationship* felt when getting this letter…
at least funny enough to make a picture of it and post it on Failblog
Oh my God — they killed *RELATIONSHIP*!!
INSERT *RELATIONSHIP* should be substituted with АЅЅНОLЕ.
This is all thanks to GLaDOS!
SOMEpony doesn’t know how to use mail merge!
At this insurance company they don’t treat you like a number, they treat you like .
“You, *PARTICIPANT FIRST NAME HERE*, must be the pride of *PARTICIPANT HOME TOWN HERE*.”
i used to work for AXA sunlife… this happened all too often
Poor INSERT! I wonder what took him.
