nadia received this letter from her boyfriend’s cousin, amy, who recently relocated with her boyfriend from saskatoon to victoria, canada…and have been shacking up with nadia and her boyfriend since then. over the past month, roomie relations have become a bit strained, to say the least.
“we had to send a stray cat she was harboring to a friend’s house temporarily (my allergies were killing me!),” nadia says, and amy proceeded to pout for three days straight. a minor-blow out ensued, which was then followed by this untitled composition. nadia and her boyfriend are scheduled to move out on wednesday.
UPDATE: adds nadia: “a friend of mine (B.A. in professional writing and linguistics) and i (a high school science and math teacher with a zoology degree and a B.Ed. corrected all of the mistakes in the letter.” then, fighting ire with ire, they posted it on the fridge.

Dear Amy,
As a personal opinion you should eat s**t and die.
Nadia

Amy’s sense of compassion and lack of understanding of grammar are humbling. Really, she’s just looking out for Nadia’s best interest here. Right? Amy your special (your special what, I don’t know, but your special something for sure).

Fun Fact: If the words in this note were stacked on top of each other, they would be visible from Alpha Centauri.

For someone who doesn’t want to speak to Nadia anymore, Amy sure has a lot to say.

Why do people creating these printed missives always amend them in pen? Do they not have access to a second piece of paper to re-print it with the edits?

Amy, she’s all about the “others.” Give that girl the Nobel Peace Prize. Or alert Jack Shephard. Or both.

Amy needs a grammar lesson. One slip-up is okay, but the number of times she wrote “your” instead of “you’re” tells me that she has no idea of the difference between the two.

Did she write that thing on a typewriter? Who has a typewriter any more? I could never find one at work when I need to make just one or two labels.

oh dear, oh dear, poor little victim amy. and how special that she can diagnose nadia with so many character defects in such a short period of time. i wish i had such esp, er, discerning skills. i’m a bit worried about carl though. i see you went out of your way to mention that carl liked nadia ‘as a friend’. hmmmm, interesting, no?
nadia, no good deed goes unpunished, eh?

I love the “I don’t know if you have a problem with women or are intimidated by me or envious of me” bit. In addition to all her other obvious faults, Amy’s *that* female, the one who believes that if another woman doesn’t like her, it’s because that woman is jealous of her or can’t get along with other women. Pot kettle black.
