this came to me on my company e-mail....has anyone else seen this? :confused:

Subject: PLLLLEEEAAASSSSEEE REEEAAADDD! IT WAS ON GOODMORNING AMERICA WEDNSEDAY! ...


Ok guys, my lawyer's paralegal sent this one to me and if it doesn't
work, they are aware that we all will be coming to visit them for a law
suit for false advertisement! :)

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 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 a go.



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 Genera l Manager Field Oper ations

1-800-842-2332 Ext.. 1085 or 904-1085 or RNX 292-1085




Thought this was a scam myself, But two weeks af ter receiving this

e-mail and for warding it on. Microsoft contacted me for my address a nd

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 I n Full'.

The old adsage...

The old adsage...

Good Day NOKUY....

I hope things are going well for you. I've often followed your threads. Great by the way.

I just wanted to remind others that the message posted has made the rounds around the internet numerous times. Usually, in different iterations. My intent is not to crush anyone's hope's of easy money. However, as the old addage states: "If its too good to be true.... It probably is."

Best of luck NOKUY...

Who here remembers the Happy99 virus? :bashhead:

Most hilarious thing I'd ever seen to that point in my life.

Was an e-mail usually sent to multiple people in a company or something to start things off. It stated that opening any e-mails with the subject line Happy99 would automatically set off a virus on your computer that would put your processor into an infinite loop and burn it out.

Then, like now, people are clueless and automatically start forwarding the e-mail to everyone they know. With the computers being used at the time this would cause huge slowdowns in net traffic as everyone was busy using it for e-mail over a hoax.

Funny stuff back then.
