    I couldn't be arsed trying to convert the internal addresses, but these are the externals:

    Edit: name1 @ place.com <-- this one is a bit of a mystery, given the next one
    Edit: name2 @ place.com
    Edit: name3 @ place.com
    Edit: name4 @ place.com
    Edit: name5 @ place.com
    Edit: name6 @ place.com <-- his out-of-office is on at the moment, BTW
    Edit: name7 @ place.com

    I still presume hardly any of you knew me, which is good because I'm rubbish at audit, so I wouldn't have helped your stellar careers.

    I've also learned how not to decorate an office - green and orange block colour walls with business buzz phrases on. 'Find your space', 'always add value' etc. Where do these terrible phrases come from? Is there a team of people lurking about in Embankment Place whose only duty is to pump out corporate drivel?

    "Oh yah Rupert, I like 'diversify your outlook'"

    "Fantastic, fantastic, let's roll it out"

    "I'll action that"

    "By close of play?"

    "Oh, absolutely."

    "What does it mean, though?"

    "Hm. Fantastic point, we'll have to revolutionise outside the box on this one, I can tell."

    "Touch base on this a-sap?"

    "Rather.""

    I look forward immensely to never having to attend an event in which Our Beloved Leaders stand up and tell us we've massively exceeded budget, so in reward we get no bonuses and instead we get the treat of listening to Coldplay while quotes from the greatest leaders of our times are played across a screen.

    Dare we be different? Not really. What we dare to do is stick out 3 years until we get the ACA and we can leave. Except me, obviously. I got fired. Whoops.

    I have a personal email, so if you want to send me anything (I can't imagine why you would), just guess it. If it's meant to be, I'll get it.

    I'm also on Facebook but I hate it. I'm sure you've got real friends of your own and I'd prefer if you left me alone quite frankly.

    If we ever talked (doubtful, I avoided anyone that looked like they might give me some work), add away.

    I've left some treats in the group area.

    Not really.

    Bye forever xxx"
    Something makes me think he has ambitions to be a contractor.

    It's precisely the kind of e-mail I was tempted to send when I left an insultancy firm, but didn't.

    Best not to. In 1690 that tactic ended up opening a right can of worms.

    Gents, I've just sent the links on to a guy from the rugby club at PWC Netherlands; just hoping he'll organise a Dutch version that could put his Irish colleagues to shame.

    The real injustice here is that the story has knocked "Dick Van Dyke 'saved by porpoises'" into second-most-read.
