I actually came across something extremely funny.
I was browsing the net when I came across this.
Tip #1
Start Early.
Getting an early start is important. Make sure you're in a clear state of mind. You do not want to try to write your note while waiting for the pills you took to kick in, or have to rush through it before you bleed to death.
Tip #2
Don't try to say everything.
Decide what is most important to say and leave out things that don't matter. Decide now what you want your readers to come away with after reading your note.
Tip #3
Handwrite your note if you can.
A handwritten note is a lot more personal. However, if you are worried your letter will not be understood, or you are physically not able to write it by hand don't worry about it. Just get your message across.
Tip #4
Be natural.
Write the way you would speak. A good note is personal, not formal. Don't get out the thesaurus and look for the biggest words you can find. Be yourself.
Tip #5
Avoid cliché's
Filling your note with phrases like "Goodbye cruel world" and "no one understands me" will make your note feel less like your thoughts and more like a form letter. Too many cliché's and it can look like you are just going through the motions or that you are leaving a note because you feel that you should, but without having anything to say.
Tip #6
In general, use first person.
It creates a sense of intimacy and makes it easier for a reader to see things from your point of view.
Tip #7
Don't use your note like a will.
If you want to leave certain things to certain people you should setup a will ahead of time. It can be easily dismissed by the claim that you were not of sound mind when you wrote it.
Tip #8
Be Honest.
Your note will be one of the last things you give the world to judge you by. If you include things that others can disprove, it can discount the entire note. Besides, there is not much reason for lying at this point, is there?
Tip #9
Don't reveal your methods.
This is most important when taking poisons and pills. Telling everyone what you took just makes it easier for them to give you the treatments needed to revive you. Alternately, you do not want someone to find the note that details which bridge you're jumping off of before you get that chance to jump. They might be able to stop you. People will find out how you did it once the autopsy reports come in anyway.
Tip #10
Don't say anything you might regret.
There is always a chance that you will be found and "rescued". These notes are not the place to rip into people, give away other's secrets, or confess crimes. The last thing you want is to end up in a hospital bed, facing the people who read something you would never have told them while alive.
Tip #11
Make your note easy to find
Take some time to consider where to leave your note. If you can't leave it near you, be sure to leave it in an obvious location. Even if you want someone in particular to read your note first, avoid sending it to someone by mail. There are too many things that could go wrong and once you send it, it's gone. Your note could get lost in the mail, or worse, it could reach someone before you can go though with it.
Well, if you havent realise, or you didnt bother reading…
