Sender: Trevor
Strong Bad: I'm totally checking my email. Total, man.
"Trevor from Hampden Maine" writes in to ask Strong Bad if he can learn to be "as awesome as you", and adds "I am a vampire and", before the email is strangely cutoff.
Strong Bad: And what? That's it? "I'm a vampire and here's a million dollars"... or "I'm a vampire and here's your own spaceship"... I mean what the f... Oh no, I get it... (sadly) They got him! Somebody stuck him with a stake through the heart! Oh, this is so sad! Oh Trevor, I pine for you.
Strong Bad cuts to a black screen, where he holds a brief memorial screening of his "favorite Trevor memories"... which, given that Strong Bad just met Trevor less than a minute ago, consists of replaying a few short clips from the email.
Strong Bad: Ah, we sure had some great times Trevor. I'm gonna miss you, bro.

Tropes:
- Curse Cut Short: Non-verbal example. Strong Bad types "I mean what the f-", stopping himself as he realizes something might have happened to Trevor.
- In Memoriam: The email ends with a picture of the Tandy, with the message "In Memoriam — Trevor —" typed out on the screen.
- It's All About Me: While trying to figure out how the email's last sentence ends, Strong Bad expects Trevor to give him a million dollars or a spaceship.
- Killed Mid-Sentence: Strong Bad concludes that Trevor's email being sent incomplete means that he died in the middle of writing it.
- Our Vampires Are Different: "'I am a vampire and...' And what? That's it?"
- Really Dead Montage: Parodied. After Strong Bad believes that Trevor has been killed, he shows the viewer a few of his "favourite Trevor moments". Since he was only made aware of Trevor's existence thirty seconds earlier, however, this consists of little more than replaying two scenes the viewer just watched. "Oh, Trevor, I pine for you!"
- Unusual Euphemism: In the DVD commentary for this email, Strong Bad claims he was about to type "what the fireplace in the mangic place".
- Viewers Are Goldfish: It ends with a flashback memorial in honor of Trevor, whom Strong Bad only met 30 seconds ago.
