Being a professional in your work sphere means that you have to be the best at what you do and know the common sayings and basic politeness of the business letter format if you want other people to take you seriously. And though we all try our best to sound professional in work emails, sometimes missed deadlines, lack of response, and overwhelming projects can put us on edge. One of the keys to keeping a cool facade is the art of sending a polite email stuffed with polite common phrases, the kind that puts a glossy cover over your underlying frustrations.

We here at Bored Panda have gathered some of the most common work letter examples and their true savage meanings. Scroll below to see examples of some passive-aggressive work correspondence and the funny jokes explaining them!

Please clarify your instructions since last time you almost cost me my job.
"I want this in black and white. I'm just trying to cover my own ass. "
and a big "THANK YOU!" to some of the most incompetent management I have ever had to work with.
I have been the sender and recipient of many of these. Guilty as charged as well.
These are funny but not always true. I 'kind regards' all the time and I always mean kind regards.
Great work humor.
