Line 19:
* In ''[[Air Gear (Manga)|Air Gear]]'', {{spoiler|Spitfire leaves a [[Video Will]] behind after he appears to die. This Video Will coaches Kogarasumaru, using 'a R.E.A.D. program that analyzes data and relays it using Spitfire's synthesized voice.' Most characters simply come to the conclusion that he's still alive and is spying on them.}}
* The climax of ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 0080 War in The Pocket (Anime)|Gundam 0080]]'' is just this
* [[Audio Adaptation|The third Sound Stage]] of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Strikers]]'' revealed that {{spoiler|[[Dead Guy, Junior|the first Reinforce]]}} left one for Reinforce Zwei, though in a [[Magitek]] variation, [[Ridiculously -Human Robots|she managed to implant it into Reinforce Zwei's memory banks]] for her to view when she sleeps.

He says that he hopes it will be found by some other survivor who can fix things, but he himself does not have the will to fight on, then commits suicide.

Line 81:
* [[Monk]] had two such messages; one by {{spoiler|Kevin Dorfman}}, and the other by {{spoiler|Trudy Monk}}.
* ''[[Babylon Five]]'' has a few of them. Most poignantly, when {{spoiler|Sheridan}} records a birthday message for the child that he knows he will never see reach adulthood.
* [[Doctor Who (TV)|The Doctor]] makes a holo-recording of himself in case an emergency program is activated. The message is meant for Rose. Strangely, the hologram appears to know where Rose is standing during playback, as the Hologram turns it's head and looks straight at her before shutting off.
* Done quite humorously in an episode of ''[[The George Lopez Show|George Lopez]]'', in which the deceased leaves all of her money to her daughter Veronica, to be managed by a trustee. She manages to get in one last jab at her father-in-law before naming George as the trustee:
