Hi, neighbor! I know we said over the holidays we would get together more, but between the cold and, well, you know, life, that hasn't happened. So I hate for this to be our first chat of the New Year, but there's something I thought I should mention to you without dilly-dallying about it.
First, even though it's past 10:30 at night, I wanted you to know this isn't one of those "drunk texts" or anything-I'm stone cold sober. Possibly to a fault--we shall see when you react to what I need to say. Second, I'm not sending this note impulsively--I've thought it over, and think I need to send it. And finally, I think email is the best way to handle this--phone or in person will get too, ya know, heated.
So, let me just cut to the choice. Rebecca, your husband Seth had been sending my flirty texts the last few weeks. Ever since the Christmas Party, ok? Nothing stalker-ish or rape-y, ok? And never making any put-down comments about you. But still, flirty; close to inappropriate, even. Well, rather than letting him think this was going anywhere, I asked him to stop, ok? I didn't know what else to do--I don't want things to get "weird" between the four of us; nine counting our collective kids.
I'm sure it was just winter doldrums, ok? Don't mention this to Seth, ok? Please? I'm just trying to be transparent, ok?
We're ok, right? Don't answer right away. Sleep on it, then let's talk if we need to. Amy

Dear Amy. Correction, Dear pathetic desperate homewrecking backstabbing slut whore wench Bitch: While not impulsive, this IS one of those DRUNK TEXT emails, because I heard Oprah say that alcohol is truth serum, and I want to make sure you know that every word in this email is 100% UNVARNISHED TRUTH.
You have a lot of fucking, damn nerve.
I just looked at every one of those damn texts you and Seth exchanged during January.
Despite what you asked him to do, and what he then claimed, HE DOD NOT DELETE THEM, BITCH. HE SAVED EVERY DAMN ONE. AND I JUST READ THEM ALL.
YOU. FUCKING. LIAR.
You led him on. He DID NOT lead you on. He was a perfect gentleman IN EACH AND EVERY DAMN TEXT.
YOU EMAILED ME TONIGHT BECAUSE HE WAS GOING TO COME TO ME FIRST. YOU WERE TRYING TO CAUSE TROUBLE BETWEEN HIM AND ME.
HOW COULD YOU EVEN THINK OF DOING THAT, KNOWING WHAT THAT WOULD MEAN FOR MY KIDS??? YOU FUCKING PSYCHO.
STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM US!!!
