* Peyton does this to Mac on ''Series/{{CSINY}}''. She didn't think they could work out the distance issues since he was working in New York but her home was in London, and likely figured Mac was still mourning his late wife. [[TheBusCameBack She did return]] for one episode later on and apologized, saying he deserved better than a note, but ''3 YEARS'' later...AND she had sent the note to the Crime Lab instead of his home address, so it's no wonder he rebuffed her obvious hint that she wanted to kiss and make up.

P.S.S: Do also compare this to DumpedViaTextMessage, which is a far less formal breakup method.

* One Creator/{{Quino}} strip plays with this: A man arrives home and sees a letter from his wife left for him on a table. The text is scribbled beyond the paper margins and continues trailing along the floor and the walls. The man follows it, going out of his house and continuing on the streets until it finally ends... on a [[TrainStationGoodbye train station platform]].

* ''Anime/HelloSandybell'': Mark Blanche Wellington dumps Kitty Shearer this way. Mark never wanted to marry Kitty, but his family, the Wellingtons, have gone from RichesToRags and his father stresses great importance on the family image since they're of BlueBlood. Since Kitty is the daughter of a wealthy conglomerate owner, Mark marrying her would salvage the family name. Before they're set to be engaged, Mark runs away from Scotland and leaves two letters - one towards Kitty, telling him he can't be with her and bidding her farewell, and one to Sandybell, promising he will come back to look for her and become a great painter.
