I found this chain email funny so I decided to share it :p

THIS TOOK TWO PAGES OF THE TUESDAY USATODAY - IT IS FOR REAL

Subject: PLEEEEEEASE READ!!!! it was on the news!





!!!! It was on the news! Kathy South Alcoa - EHS Maintenance Coordinator Phone: 765/771 - 3547 Pager : 765/420 - 6575

To all of my friends, I do not usually forward messages, But this is from my good friend Pearlas Sandborn and she really is an attorney.


If she says that this will work - It will work. After all, What have you got to lose? SORRY EVERYBODY.. JUST HAD TO TAKE THE CHANCE!!! I'm an attorney, And I know the law. This thing is for real. Rest assured AOL and Intel will follow through with their promises for fear of facing a multimillion-dollar class action suit similar to the one filed by PepsiCo against General Electric not too long ago.


Dear Friends; Please do not take this for a junk letter. Bill Gates sharing his fortune. If you ignore this, You will repent later. Microsoft and AOL are now the largest Internet companies and in an effort to make sure that Internet Explorer remains the most widely used program, Microsoft and AOL are running an e-mail beta test...


When you forward this e-mail to friends, Microsoft can and will track it ( If you are a Microsoft Windows user) For a two weeks time period.


For every person that you forward this e-mail to, Microsoft will pay you $245.00 For every person that you sent it to that forwards it on, Microsoft will pay you $243.00 and for every third person that receives it, You will be paid $241.00. Within two weeks, Microsoft will contact you for your address and then send you a check.

I thought this was a scam myself, But two weeks after receiving this e-mail and forwarding it on. Microsoft contacted me for my address and withindays, I receive a check for $24,800.00. You need to respond before the beta testing is over. If anyone can affoard this, Bill gates is the man.


It's all marketing expense to him. Please forward this to as many people as possible. You are bound to get at least $10,000.00. We're not going to help them out with their e-mail beta test without getting a little something for our time. My brother's girlfriend got in on this a few months ago. When i went to visit him for the Baylor/UT game. She showed me her check. It was for the sum of $4,324.44 and was stamped "Paid in full"


Like i said before, I know the law, and this is for real.

Intel and AOL are now discussing a merger which would make them the largest Internet company and in an effort make sure that AOL remains the most widely used program, Intel and AOL are running an e-mail beta test.


When you forward this e-mail to friends, Intel can and will track it( if you are a Microsoft Windows user)for a two week time period.



So... who wants to share first one of many reasons why this email is funny... :D

I personally found it funny that my friend thought it was true and therefore sent it to me and 30 other people LOL

You got the letter. I've heard about this letter. I hear it does good things for you. My friend Einstein told me about it. He's a real scientist with a white coat, who got all A's at M.I.T. This letter is for real.

If you respond to this letter, on top of the 10 grand, you will get cannonized by the Catholic Church, get lifetime use of a luxury corporate jet for free, a brand new 2005 Escalade (with 29" spinner rims, 4 plasma screens, red crushed velvet interior and 3000 watt 50 speaker sound system with 6 individual DVD players), world peace and at least 13" of extreme male enhancement.

It sounds like a good risk to me. Where do we sign up? :rolleyes:

Even if only 1% of the US population responded to this...there isn't that much money in the world.
