How do vampires start their letters?

Tomb it may concern!

Why This Joke Works

"Tomb it may concern" is a word-for-word substitution of "To whom it may concern" — the stiff formal letter opening — with "Tomb" taking over for "To whom." The swap sounds just different enough to feel fresh, and the idea of Dracula writing formal correspondence from a coffin is inherently funny. It rewards anyone who's had to write a professional letter.

🎤 How to Tell This Joke

Read it in the most rigid, formal business tone possible — as if dictating an important letter from underground. The pomposity makes the punchline land.

Perfect for:

•At a Halloween office party for adults who live in their inboxes
•During a Halloween creative writing class when talking about formal letter formats
•When writing Halloween party invitations and joking about the phrasing
