The last speech ever

Ben Casnocha sent an e-newsletter where he proposed this:
Death and Mortality - What would you say if you had to deliver a three-minute speech knowing you'd die at the end of it? And to whom would you say it? This is an interesting exercise that makes you think.
And I countered with variations for high school and college writing assignments:
  • I've got one more day. To whom do I need to deliver my last message(s)? What are the messages? I can do more than one, but I have to allow for prep time and time to find the hearers.
  • I've got an appointment at the pearly gates. I have three minutes to justify my admission. How do I do it?
  • I get to compose my own eulogy. What do I do?
