...is the kind in which the message starts with something like "As you are aware" and then the writer conveys bad news that you didn't already know. A few years ago I learned about not getting a SSHRC fellowship this way, and today I learned about someone leaving a job.
I think the special force of this email structure comes not only from getting the bad news, but also from the fact that it indicated that you are really out of the loop or not with it. And that's exactly how you want to feel when you get bad news.
