A man checked into a hotel in Pretoria. There was a computer in his
room, so he decided to send an e-mail to his wife. However, he
accidentally typed the wrong e-mail address, and without realizing his
error, he sent the e-mail. Meanwhile... somewhere in Cape Town a widow
had just arrived home from her husband's funeral. The widow decided to
check her e-mail, expecting messages from relatives and friends. After
reading the first message, she fainted. The widow's son rushed into the
room, found his mother on the floor, and saw the computer screen which
Read:
To: My Loving Wife
Subject: I've arrived

And you are allowed to send e-mails to your loved ones. I've just arrived
and have been checked in. I see that everything has been prepared for
your arrival tomorrow. Looking forward to see you then!
