Pronunciation: void-mail Can't make it any easier than that.

Sentence: Hannah compulsively applied for all of the vacant positions that appeared in the Little Piddlington Gazette, but had not yet received even an acknowledgement. She blamed it on voidmail, a strange virus that had migrated from email to snail mail. But the real problem was that Hannah's reputation was well known by all the employers in Little Piddlington. No one was prepared to take on her gloomy mien and manic depression tempered with occasional bouts of tourette's syndrome.

Etymology: voicemail + void
