Turn your emails into a book
“Memeoirs can take the emails you and your love have shared while apart and turn them into a keepsake you can keep forever! What is so great is that you don’t have to tediously edit and find all the emails between you and your bf/gf; the Memeoirs webapp does it all for you. Just choose which contact and the time frame – they will automatically compile those emails in chronological order and even remove email signatures and reply strings. Chapters = seasons of the year. Don’t worry if you have a lot of long winded emails… your book can be 30-450 pages long! Choose paperback or hardcover. “

Pre-written “Open when..” letters
