p2pnet.net News:- You’re online, surfing like a fiend. You’ve had 17 cans of Kaffeine Kola since you started nine hours ago, you’re into your fifth Big Mac and your entire body is in quivering like a guitar string.

Suddenly, you go into Total Overload and you’re D-E-A-D dead.

So it’s obviously time for (dah dah dah DAHHH) the Last Email !!!!

No kidding. And a Spanish company is offering precisely that – a DeathMail from the Grave, to all intents and purposes.

Global Spectrum, based in Navarra, Spain, bills itself as having a service, “for anyone who thinks they will die someday – or knows someone who will”.

For prices ranging from about $23 to about $245 for a ‘Lifetime Enrollment,’ the firm sends your final email when you terminate.

It will, of course, “be necessary for someone you have entrusted to activate your account after you pass away”.

And like regular I’m Still Alive emails, you can attach image/audio/video files.

“This is the most important document, and you need to print, sign and keep it in a safe place with your Will and other important papers,” says Glopbal Spectrum.

“This is an authority and request for your trustee to return the document to us with a copy of your death certificate. To ensure that emails are not sent prematurely, they will only be processed upon receipt of both your printed document and death certificate.”

Nope. Premature “I’m DeadMails” wouldn’t be good.

Appropriately, Global Spectrum’s url is http://www.thelastemail.com/

You could, of course, simply write a script which sends your dmail when it detects the sudden and simultaneous activation of all keys between e and p and x and ? – like, when your head finally crashes to the keyboard.
