Sending emails has become so mundane that some of us get into a false sense of security. So it’s not that hard to, say, send a fully empty email or, even worse, attach the wrong image or file. Even worse are the emails folks send out fully believing that what they just made works and isn’t either unhinged or deeply bizarre.
We’ve gathered some hilarious examples of emails people have accidentally sent or inexplicably received. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and, if you are brave enough, share your own examples and stories in the comments section below.

"To Toby,
We can't believe you have sent us a Dear John letter, we feel so used and abused how could you do this to us? We nurture you only for you to leave us for a younger (will question the better gym) gym. But be like that, we were only using you for your money anyway.
We hope you and your new gym will be happy together! I guess it was too good to last.
Toby if you ever want to come back, we are willing to forgive and forget.
Don't forget us!"

PS. I don't put much stock in first impressions, but since I'm here to teach you this one was pretty bad. Also, you really are giving that speech. I'm funny, so you'll know when I'm joking."
