E-mail dal morto – E-mail from the dead person
Una coppia di Milano decise di prendersi una settimana di vacanza nei
Caraibi per una breve pausa dal freddo inverno europeo.
A couple of Milan has decided to take a week vacation in the Caribbean
to a short break from the cold European winter.
Siccome entrambi erano molto impegnati nel lavoro, decisero di partire
con un giorno di differenza. Quindi, lui partì il giovedì e lei lo
avrebbe, poi, raggiunto col volo del venerdì.
Since both were very committed to work, they had to leave with a day
of difference. Therefore, he departed on Thursday, and she would have,
then, reached him with the Friday flight.
Arrivato a destinazione, lui prese subito il suo laptop nella stanza
d'albergo e scrisse alla moglie un'e-mail. Purtroppo, però,
nell'indirizzo tralasciò una lettera e spedì lo scritto ad un
indirizzo sbagliato.
Reached its destination, he immediately took his laptop in the room
hotel and wrote to his wife an e-mail. Unfortunately, however, in the
address forgot a letter and sent the written to a wrong address.
Sfortunatamente, a Roma, in quel momento, tornò a casa una vedova dal
funerale di suo marito, appena morto in seguito ad un infarto.
Unfortunately, in Rome, in that time, a widow returned home from her
husband's funeral, just dead after a heart attack.
La neo-vedova si aspettava messaggi di condoglianze tramite internet e
controllò la sua posta. Dopo aver aperto la prima mail e letto le
righe, emise un urlo e svenne davanti allo schermo.
The neo-widow had expected messages of condolences over Internet and
checked his mail. After she opened the first mail and read the lines,
emitted a scream and felt faint  in front of the screen.
Il figlio si precipitò subito nella stanza e vide la mamma esanime sul
pavimento.
Guardando sullo schermo del computer, lesse:
The Son immediately crashed into the room and saw the mother lifeless
on the floor. Looking on the computer screen, he read:
To: Alla mia adorata moglie...
From: Dal tuo appena separato marito.
Subject: Sono arrivato!
to: to my adored wife...
From: from your just separated husband.
Subject: I arrived!
Cara, sono appena arrivato ed ho fatto già il check-in. Vedo che tutto
è già perfettamente pronto per il tuo arrivo domani. Sono molto felice
di riabbracciarti prestissimo. Spero che anche il tuo viaggio vada
bene come è stato per me.
Dear, I have just arrived and I have done the check-in. I see that
everything is already perfectly ready for your arrival tomorrow. I am
very happy to hug you again very soon. I hope that even your travel is
good as it was for me.
PS: C'è un caldo infernale qui!
PS: Here it  is as hot as hell

 E-mail dal morto ï¿½ E-mail from the dead person
This is a thankless task. One never knows how much to change to improve 
the writing and how much to allow because it may be correct, albeit 
awkward for a native speaker. Here is my attempt to help you. I hope 
that you're able to learn something from it.

Tony's reply is excellent. I've seen this joke already (in English) and a 
quick google took me to the version that I have seen. There are some slight 
differences, but the gist is the same:
my dead husband
A lesson to be learned from typing the wrong email address!!!!
A Minneapolis couple decided to go to Florida to thaw out during
a
particularly icy winter. They planned to stay at the same hotel where
they
spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier. Because of hectic schedules, it
was
difficult to coordinate their travel schedules. So, the husband left
Minnesota and flew to Florida on Thursday, with his wife flying down
the
following day. The husband checked into the hotel. There was a computer
in
his room, so he decided to send an email to his wife. However, he
accidentally left out one letter in her email address, and without
realizing his error, sent the email.
Meanwhile, somewhere in Houston, a widow had just returned home
from
her husband's funeral. He was a minister who was called home to glory
following a heart attack. The widow decided to check her email
expecting
messages from relatives and friends. After reading the first message,
she
screamed and fainted. The widow's son rushed into the room, found his
mother on the floor, and saw the computer screen which read:
To: My Loving Wife
Subject: I've Arrived
Date: October 16, 2005
I know you're surprised to hear from me. They have computers
here
now and you are allowed to send emails to your loved ones. I've just
arrived and have been checked in. I've seen that everything has been
prepared for your arrival tomorrow.
Looking forward to seeing you then!!!!
Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was.
P.S. Sure is freaking hot down here!!!
