Read carefully...

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

To all of my friends, I do not usually forward messages,
But this is from my 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 &nbs p; 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.

Regards. Charles S Bailey General Manager Field Operations

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
within days, I received 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".

 

[breezer]

thats almost as old as noah

 

[Softus]

Exactly. But there still people who are prepared to believe it and propogate it.

like you just did you mean?

 

[Softus]

If you interpret my introductory remark as meaning that I believe it, then yes.

And if you think that I believe it, and therefore think that my publishing it here is equivalent to following the "instructions", and therefore that I'm propogating it, then yes.

Or, alternatively, you could think the blindingly obvious, which is that my use of the word "bogus" in the title means that I don't, and I'm not.

 

[breezer]

i dont think you are that stupid to believe it in anyway shape or form, however you are guilty of propogating it

I wonder what bob transformer would say?

 

[Softus]

Oh really?

"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. ".

 

[breezer]

how fast can you pedal backwards?

 

[Bob Transformer]

I wonder what bob transformer would say?

Yes, I agree

 

[Softus]

I give in. If you really think that I've propogated it, then I must have done.

 

[breezer]

Softus, lets not fall out over this, you have posted it for asll to see, there for you have propogated it.

perhaps if we ask the mods will remove it?

 

[Softus]

Softus, lets not fall out over this, you have posted it for asll to see, there for you have propogated it.

Whatever.

perhaps if we ask the mods will remove it?

It's a warning to the otherwise naive, and I don't want it removed.

[Softus]
