Dear friends and collegues, liebe Freunde und Kollegen,
Das folgende oder oben stehende mail wurde mir aus absolut zuverlässiger
Quelle mit einer Kopie des Checks zugesendet. Ich glaube für so wenig
Arbeit wird man selten so gut bezahlt, also nehmt Euch die paar Minuten
Zeit und schickt dieses mail an so viele Leute wie nur möglich!!!!!!!!
The following or above printed mail was sent to me by a very
professional colleque of mine with a copy of the check. I think that not
often we get the possibility to make money as easily as that, so take a
few minutes of your time and send this mail to as many people as you
can!!!!!!!!

Dear Friends, and colleagues with whom I have done Ebay business in the USA
and UK :
This is self-explanatory. Bill and Jocelyn Ayars reckopn this is worth
pursuing, as you can see, So please take advantage of this market research
exercise by AOL and Miscrosoft.

Regards and best wishes, Sam Knight.

Guys, it won't matter how many emails you forward, or how much that email
claims it's donating a dime to charity, or how many you think it'll take
before you get that free tv/computer/car/cash, but it's

ALL FAKE

It's a joke. A trick. A sham. No such promotions are going on, *can't* go
on, will NEVER EVER GO ON.

It's just a way to get people to spam other's mailboxes. There's no email
tracking system. Microsoft won't know how many emails you forward to your
uncles and cousins-twice-removed and stepbrother's former roommate. In
fact, they don't even care. And if they didn't, they wouldn't pay you
money or get you a copy of free windows, either.


Please, please, please, please...


And just for humor's sake, I'm copy/pasting the following joke, very related
to this situation. And before anyone asks, I didn't compose it, I got it
from 4GuysfromRolla.com. :) Enjoy!


Vale et khaire,


Kyrinia

Make a wish....

Seriously, make a wish.....

Didja make a wish?

Okay! Now, because you scrolled all the way down and were exposed to the
radiation from all of those hyphens ("-"), the radiation waves will affect
the psychic chemicals in your mind and make your wish come true!

Or maybe it'll just give you cancer. Speaking of which...

This letter was composed by a little boy in Balaklavia who is dying from
lung cancer due to second hand smoke and drunk driving. Please forward this
letter to as many people as you can, so that this little starving boy with
no arms can get one last wish... To annoy as many people as possible with
e-mail. Please, for every time this mail gets sent, 3 cents will be donated
to the Save - The - Starving - Little - Balaklavian - Boy - With - No - Arms
Fund. Really.

There is no realistic way that all the mails can be counted, but hey, if you
don't send this anyway, you're selfish and you're going straight to hell. Or
maybe you'll come back in YOUR next life as a little Balaklavian boy with no
arms.

Now scroll down again....

Send this letter to as many people as you can.

If you send it to...

1 person -- 1 person will be pissed at you for sending another dumb chain
letter
5 people -- 5 people will be pissed at you for sending another dumb chain
letter
10 people -- 10 people will be pissed at you for sending another dumb chain
letter
15 people -- 15 people will be pissed at you for sending another dumb chain
letter
20 people -- 20 people will be pissed at you for sending another dumb chain
letter
30 people -- 30 people will be pissed at you for sending another dumb chain
letter
35 people -- 35 people will be pissed at you for sending another dumb chain
letter
40 people-Your crush will ask you out on a date.
41 people-Your crush will ask you to have sex with him/her on Sesame Street.
43 people-Your crush will die, and be replaced with a new, better looking
crush.
44 1/2 people-Your crush will crush you with a huge boulder, and you'll get
sick twisted jollies out of it.
47 people-Your crush will mutate and grow an extra arm, which he/she will
use to perform bizarre sex acts on you.

You MUST send at least 300 copies of this letter. If you don't an evil curse
will be put on you.

For instance, John Fargo of Fargo, PA deleted this mail as soon as he got
it. Then he got up, called a friend, and went to a movie, because he has a
life.

Or how about Lenore Poe, of Tromaville, who deleted this mail when she got
it? She got into her car... and drove to work.

Or take poor Mr. Arnold Cartman, who accidentally only sent part of this
letter to his crush. He died. So did his crush. Of course, that was because
of all of the STDs. (They worked on Sesame Street.)

Please send this letter to all your loser hacker friends. The little
Balaklavian boy with no arms needs your help.

Remember, as the Spice Girls once said, "I wanna really really really wanna
zig a zig ah." Think about it.

What is a true friend?
Here's a poem I wrote about being a friend. It's called, "Being a Friend."

"Being a Friend"
A friend is someone you can count on
A friend is someone who loves you all the time
A friend is someone who loves you for who you are
A friend is someone who loves you even though you're disgustingly ugly
A friend is someone who smokes crack with you
A friend is someone who sends you countless stupid chain e-mails
A friend is someone who tells you if you smell like shit
A friend is someone who tells all your other friends you smell like shit
A friend is someone who always holds on to you, even after the restraining
order
A friend is a person to douse in marshmallow fluff and then lick clean
A friend is someone who comes to your house while you are out and cleans up
for you, then picks up her check and leaves, and doesn't speak much English
Oh, wait, that's a cleaning lady
A friend is someone who pays for your cleaning lady
A friend is someone who pays for your dominatrix
A friend is someone who is a cleaning lady and a dominatrix on weekends
A friend is someone who helps you kill starving Balaklavian boys
A friend is someone who helps you devour the remains of your victims


So next time you go drunk driving with a friend
Remember that chain mail he sent you about how a friend should never
Let his/her friend drive drunk
And remember how many copies he/she sent you
And when you crash into a telephone pole, aim so that it hits the passenger
side

I hope you liked the poem! Now send this to as many Balaklavian boys that
you are friends with, so that they don't drive drunk and so that if they do,
you won't have to face their ugly crack-whore moms, because you'll have
escaped to Cuba with 5 kilos and a gat.

:)

This is the shining smiley-face Hawaiian totem of love. If you send it to 5
people within the next 3 minutes, you will get mad honeys. If you
accidentally send it to 6 people instead, you will die instantly. Good Luck!
:)
