There are many reasons why a person might be afraid to send a normal email message to someone. The person sending the email could potentially:
- lose a friendship
- anger a family member or
- lose a job
There’s also another reason.
It might be fun!
Whatever the reason, there are many resources available to those who need to send an anonymous email. The easiest methods are online services.
send-email.org – simple plain text
anonymouse.org – simple plain text
deadfake.com – html (rich text)
I checked these services for safety using SiteAdvisor.
These email sites are easy to use. You’ll only need to fill out:
- From: (make something up)
- To: (who is this email for?)
- Subject: (what’s the email about?)
- Message: (give them the bad news)
Typically, no attachments are allowed and you’ll have to fill out a captcha form to keep the spammers from using these services.
Now you’re either ready to save the world, a friendship or get a good laugh.
Keep in mind that nothing is truly "Anonymous" online, and given sufficient time and resources the details could be traced (Say by the RCMP or FBI!).
