If you have ever found yourself with a crabby email you might like to read about a new device I found recently. You can add it to your inbox and just like an out of office reply, it will deal automatically with all those terse responses for you. Do let me know if it works for you.
Dear Sender,
I regret to inform you that your recent email of October 31 2017 has been caught in our HVR email filter. The HVR filter captures emails where the sender has given a knee-jerk reaction to a situation without bothering to speak to the recipient before sending it out.
HVR (How Very Rude) filters have been introduced because of the increasing number of such emails globally which disrupt communication systems and put the delivery of future emails at risk.
The only way to lift the HVR filter is to take the following steps:
- Pick up the telephone
- Explain the misunderstanding or problem which has occurred
- Discuss the best way to get the situation resolved
- Put down the telephone
- Relax and wait for the solution to be delivered
The HVR filter will hold the email in its vault for seven days. If the steps suggested above are not put in place it will delete the email. Please be aware, should there be a repeat of the email or an attempt to resend, the email will automatically be sent to the office of a well known politician who, I am sure, will offer you a job.
