LifeTouch customers write up their last messages, store them on the company's Web site and then, when the sweet chariot swings low, the company sends out the last e-mails. The idea behind the service is for subscribers to pass on loving last messages to friends and family, but you've got to think some people will want to send a few choice last words to a certain Nigerian prince. The site has some pretty strong safeguards to make sure the customers are, in fact, dead, so those posthumous posts don't go out prematurely.
