Are you being tormented? Have you been wronged?

Would you like revenge?

The Hell Correspondence website opens exactly at midnight. Type in the name of who has wronged you, and you will be contacted by Enma Ai - the red-eyed girl from hell, who will hand you a straw doll. Undo the red thread at its neck, and your tormenter will be dragged off to hell.

Of course, there is a price for this service. Upon your death, you too will be dragged off to hell, never to know a moment's peace.

And you will bear the mark of this contract.
