Deadpan Form Letters

"Dear [name and title], I can no longer contain myself. I need to let you know that I feel your [issue requiring feedback] is quite [your honest impression] … If you do make this change, I promise [hyperbole-laden claim], which would surely be better." That's an extract from the Unsolicited Feedback form at the Bureau of Communication website.

If that's not quite what you're after, perhaps Airing of a Grievance fits the bill. Or Declaration of Romantic Interest or Statement of Gratitude. They're among the selection of wonderfully deadpan free fill-in-the-blank forms available on the site, created by product design company Magnetism. You just enter your own words in the appropriate spot ("attempts at humour are highly discouraged"), then email off the completed form to the object of your chagrin/ affection/ appreciation/etc. Bored office workers could lose days on this site.
