About
How The Email Finds Me refers to a series of tweets during the coronavirus pandemic which parody the typical email greeting "I hope this email finds you well" by posting a humorous photo representing the poor mental and physical state of the poster.
Origin
The earliest iterations of the meme can be traced to the early days of coronavirus-related quarantines. On April 14th, 2020, Twitter user @wintersp00ky[1] posted a picture of Shizuku Tsukishima from Whisper of the Heart to represent "how the email found me," but the post gained minimal engagement (shown below).
