Are you in a relationship with the wrong person, but keep chickening out every time you plan to break it off? Then today's your lucky day.

A new online service is offering to handle your break up for you, either by text, email, phone call or even in person using a representative - and they'll even send your dumping victim a 'sympathy hamper' to soften the blow.

Sorry It's Over, the brainchild of former Australian nurse Kristy Mazins, based in Melbourne, charges $5.50 (£2.84) for a custom-written text or email based on your brief, and $66 (£34) to have their break-up expert do it for you in person.

Speaking to Mamamia about her unusual professional calling, Ms Mazins said: 'I’m quite good at mediating people’s relationships.

'It’s a gift. I think it’s the counselling that goes with nursing.'

She pointed out that her tech-savvy 'Gen Y' target audience are particularly scared of confrontation, which is probably true.

'It’s never easy to separate, so let us do your dirty work,' the website reads.

'It’s tiresome when you have had enough of your partner. You have to make up some reason why you don’t want to be with them any more. Then you have to decide how to deliver the news.'

The company's sympathy hamper costs $90 (£46) and contains a bottle of wine, chocolates, tissues, a written affirmation and, inexplicably, a serving of peanuts.

A posted letter costs $13.50 (£7), a phone call costs $12 (£6) and a text or email (pictured) will set you back $5.50 (£2.84)

Those wanting to hire a real-life Representative to make a personal visit to their dumpee are required to fill out a form with the details of the impending break up.

To send flowers, which costs $77 (£40), customers can chose from two accompanying messages.

The first reads: 'We have not been seeing eye-to-eye. I feel we are too different. It is me not you. There is no chemistry anymore. Hope you will be OK. We can still be friends.'

The second message option takes a different stance.

'How dare you treat me like this! It is over and I could not be happier. I deserve better than you. You will never find anyone as good as me.'

A posted letter costs $13.50 (£7), a phone call costs $12 (£6) and a text or email will set you back $5.50 (£2.84).

'Why look them in the eye and watch the hurt?' Ms Mazins concludes.
