A Letter Mistake



   This story is about how misspelling one letter led to a big misunderstanding. In 2002 in Holland, a couple received an invitation to Abu Dhabi festival on the Corniche, so they accepted the invitation and the wife would come late one day because she was busy.


 The husband had the tickets and the visas. They agreed that the husband will go there and arrange everything until she arrives next day; he took a five star hotel in the tourism club and opened the window. He opened the laptop and he sent an email to his wife to tell her that the weather is very hot and he sent it to a wrong email address. He noticed his mistake and corrected it carefully and had a short sleep because it was the midday. On the other hand, there was an old woman whose husband died in the same day; she was in the graveyard when the email was received. When they went back to her home with her son and checked the email she was surprised and her heart could not stand anymore and she fell down. Her son came quickly, but could not do anything, because she was already pass away.


 Mr. Jones’ mistake was small but the reaction was very big and somebody lost their life.
