A serious misuse of msn

The following message could not be delivered when sent as I was offline at the time. Got it this morning:

Hi Colleen. Just a quick note to tell you that your Aunt Tony died yesterday. Will talk to you soon, Mom

Ok, I know that email, and especially msn is informal. But people, that is pretty fucking informal.

Here's one I'm thinking of sending:

Hi Mom. Got mugged in Amsterdam on the weekend. Chat soon, Colleen.

Bloody hell.
