Official Certificate: "Per My Last Email" ? Documented Hostility

Formally Processed · Entered Into Federal Record · Certificate Issued

The Bureau of Minor Sufferings classifies the phrase "per my last email" as Weaponised Professional Courtesy ? a communication that is technically polite, functionally hostile, and impossible to formally object to without appearing unreasonable. The phrase has been entered into the Bureau's Registry of Passive-Aggressive Professional Language.

About This Filing Category

Bureau Linguistic Analysis has determined that "per my last email" is the single most frequently cited phrase in workplace communication grievances, accounting for 12.4% of all digital hostility filings. Variants include "as previously mentioned," "as noted below," "circling back on this," and the particularly lethal "I'm not sure if you saw my earlier message." Each is documented in the Bureau's Lexicon of Corporate Aggression.

Example Bureau Findings (Preview)
§Finding 1 (§6.1.a): The respondent deployed the phrase "per my last email" in a communication to the claimant, a usage the Bureau classifies as Documented Hostility Masked as Professional Courtesy.
§Finding 2 (§6.1.b): Linguistic analysis confirms the phrase was unnecessary for comprehension purposes and served exclusively as a reprimand for the claimant's failure to act on the referenced prior communication.
§Finding 3 (§6.1.c): The email containing the phrase was CC'd to two (2) additional parties, escalating the infraction from Private Rebuke to Public Shaming under Bureau Protocol ?4.2(a).

Frequently Asked Questions

Is "as previously mentioned" equally bad?
The Bureau classifies both phrases under the same Weaponised Courtesy category. "As previously mentioned" carries a marginally higher hostility index due to its implicit suggestion that the recipient is either inattentive or incompetent.
What if I'm the one who sent it?
The Bureau processes grievances, not confessions. However, the Bureau notes that filing a complaint about your own passive-aggressive behaviour would constitute an unprecedented act of bureaucratic self-awareness.
Can I file on behalf of someone else?
Yes. Use Gift mode — toggle it at the top of the filing form. Enter their name and describe what happened.
Is this a real legal document?
No. This is satirical parody. The Bureau is not a government agency. Certificates carry no legal authority. See our Terms.
How much does it cost?
Free to file. The preview shows 1 of 3 findings. Official Filing ($4.99, one-time) unlocks everything with a clean HD download.
How long does it take to generate a certificate?
About 10?15 seconds. The more detail you provide, the better the certificate. No signup required.
