Who knows? Maybe it's for real!!


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

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

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.


Regards. Charles S Bailey General Manager Field Operations

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.


TRy it; What have you got to lose????

Yawn, it's back -- at least they updated it.

Sigh... was shown this one about 3 years ago by an enthusiastic colleague.
It is amazing what people will believe.


"I'm an attorney. And I know the law."

Oh -- OK then.

[Blue Velvet]

Upon reflection, I suggest this thread could also be swept over the falls into that lonely and barren place called the Wasteland.

Now, a thread on the phenomena of this sort of junk and why people believe them could be interesting. Sort of like urban legends...

Then again, maybe not...

So its crap ok. Message DEleted. I want this thread CLOSED. :-P
