An AI email rewriter recasts everyday messages in the grand style of Emperor Tewodros II of Ethiopia.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-29 issue.
For
People who want a theatrically regal rewrite of an everyday email
Worth noticing
The three selectable temperaments are labeled Hopeful envoy (1862), Wounded pride (1864), and Last stand (1868).

Field notes

The form asks for a sender name as well as an email and offers “Hopeful envoy,” “Wounded pride,” and “Last stand” as selectable temperaments. Its example preserves the original Friday deadline while adding a mock-imperial address and proclamation. The accompanying timeline traces the page’s account from the 1862 letter to Victoria through the 1868 expedition; the site describes the generated letters as AI-written and says to review them before sending.
