« Leaving Reagan National...Seat 6E | Main | Missed Connection of the day »
She actually just sent me this email: (in the extended entry...it's the one that if you forward the email you'll get a check).
Mom...seriously....are you giving money to Nigerian widows, too?
The worst part of getting these emails is seeing the forwards and the tons of email addresses of all the people that have sent this around the world for years and years. Surely everybody has finally received it don't you think?
This was sent to me by my accountant... if you think this is ridiculous I have no problem giving you his contact information...
Read carefully...
THIS TOOK TWO PAGES OF THE TUESDAY USATODAY - 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 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 week
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.

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 afford 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'.
