FOR YOUR EYES ONLY.

Confidentiality Notices in emails from law students make me roll my eyes. Except this one:

“POSSIBLY” CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email communication may or may not contain private, confidential, or legally privileged information, depending on what the author is saying and how he feels like that day. Usually, it will be intended for the sole use of the designated recipient(s); however, at times, you will be expected to guess who he actually wants this email going to. If you are not the intended recipient, please undertake an existential inquiry into the spirit of mankind and human relation, and let this inform your decision about whether the email is intended for you. Do not act hastily and delete it. You may want to inform the author of any fruits of your existential search into the human condition.

Shout out to NC!

  1. I have to love those auto-generated confidentiality notices from corporate mail servers that get tacked onto every e-mail no matter how mundane.

  2. Perhaps you should run a contest to see who can draft the most amusing email notice.
