New Athens, IL. USA, -

AfterlifeTelegrams.com, a new online telegram service based in New Athens, IL., is providing a unique service to the public. For a fee of $5 per word, customers can pay AfterlifeTelegrams.com to deliver telegrams to people who have passed away. This is done with the help of terminally Ill volunteers who memorize the telegrams before passing away, and then deliver the telegrams after they have passed away. This is called an "Afterlife Telegram".

All of AfterlifeTelegrams.com's messengers have been diagnosed with a terminal illness, by a certified doctor, and have a minimal survival prognosis of about a year or less. All messengers are tested by AfterlifeTelegrams.com, to make sure that they have memorized the telegrams that the messengers are entrusted with and are periodically quizzed to make sure they have not forgotten them.
If the messenger who was given a telegram should have the good fortune to survive one year past the day the telegram was given - then the fee is refunded with the understanding that the messenger will attempt delivery, when his/her time comes, for free.

QUOTES:
How can this online telegram service guarantee that the telegrams are being received? "We Can't." answers the webmaster of AfterlifeTelegrams.com Paul Kinsella, "The truth is that no one knows what happens when someone dies. Since we can not guarantee delivery nor prove that a telegram has been delivered - our customers do not pay for 'deliveries' - they pay for 'delivery attempts'. What we can guarantee is that the messengers have memorized their telegrams before passing on. And that messengers have promised to do what can be done to deliver their telegrams to the addressees after passing."

QUOTES:
Where does the fee go? "The $10 per word fee is held by our business until the messenger has passed away." explains Kinsella, "Then half of the fee, depending on the wishes of the messenger, is either given to a relative, donated to a charity or used to pay for medical bills. The other half is retained by AfterlifeTelegrams.com."
