The phenomenon known as National Break-Up Season officially concludes this weekend, with Valentine’s Day (for those who are curious, it starts on New Year’s Day).
Of the mind to end a relationship in time for Sunday’s festival of affection? Be classy and don’t do it by Twitter, Facebook or with a text message. Use iQuit instead.
iQuit is a service that sends out one of several auto-generated notes informing the recipient of your intentions to, well, quit. (To start you enter an email address and put in a confirmation code).
The beauty is that it does so in language that is direct and dispassionate, which is how a good break up letter should be written.
(The example we sent out started out like this: “After much careful consideration I have resolved to terminate my position with you...“)
For those happy in their current situation, iQuit can also be used to terminate a job, a board position, a friendship or even inclusion in a crazy family.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
