BRC, I would normally defer to you in all matters of etiquette, but breakup-by-letter? Never, never put anything in writing that could come back to haunt you. A nice, neutral, friendly goodbye? "Look [as it's shown to all the dumpee's friends], em's a callous soulless emotionless bastard!" A gentle explanation of the reasons? "Look [as it's shown to all the dumpee's friends], like em's such a goddamn prize?[listing of all em's deeply embarrassing personal flaws to total strangers ensues]"
Give me the spine-cringing scene. At least it's over and there's no record afterwards.
