Friends...

All mainly a big load of crap to 1)waste time 2) collect a lot of email
addresses and upset people...

=======================================================

This is a HOAX!!!!

Please don't forward things like this. A chain letter is a chain letter,
email or no, and chain letters are a violation of most ISP's rules of
conduct.

If you call the American Cancer Society or visit their web site, you
will find that there is no such donation program. Always research any
email that tells you to forward to as many people as possible, almost
all are hoaxes, and waste resources. Otherwise, next time
you wonder why it takes so long to get your email or surf the web, you
have only yourself to blame.

See the following pages:

=======================================================E-MAIL FACTS OF
LIFE

1. Big companies don't do business via chain letter. Bill Gates is not
giving you $1000, and Disney is not giving you a free vacation. There is
no baby food
company issuing class-action checks. You can relax; there is no need to
pass it on "just in case it's true." Furthermore, just because someone
said in
the message, four generations back, that "we checked it out and it's
legit," does not actually make it true.

2. There is no kidney theft ring in New Orleans. No one is waking up in
a bathtub full of ice, even if a friend of a friend swears it happened
to their cousin. If you are insistent on believing the kidney-theft ring
stories, please see:
http://urbanlegends.tqn.com/library/weekly/aa062997.htm 
And I quote: "The National Kidney Foundation has repeatedly issued
requests for actual victims of organ thieves to come forward and tell
their stories.
None have." That's "none," as in "ZERO". Not even your friend's cousin.

3. Neiman Marcus doesn't really sell a $200 cookie recipe. And even if
they do, we all have it. And even if you don't, you can get a copy at:
http://www.bl.net/forwards/cookie.html  Then, if you make the recipe,
decide the cookies are that awesome, feel free to pass the recipe on.
(But I hear they stink.)

4. We all know all 500 ways to drive your roommates crazy, irritate
coworkers, gross-out bathroom stall neighbors, and creep out people on
an elevator.
We also know exactly how many engineers, college students, Usenet
posters, and people from each and every world ethnicity it takes to
change a light
bulb.

5. Even if the latest NASA rocket disaster(s) DID contain plutonium that
went to particulate over the eastern seaboard, do you REALLY think this
information
would reach the public via an AOL chain-letter?

6. There is no "Good Times" virus. In fact, you should never, ever, ever
forward any email containing any virus warning unless you first confirm
it at an actual site of an actual company that actually deals with
virus.
Try:
http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/hoax.html  And even then, don't forward
it.
We don't care!  If you have a good virus program, dont worry about it!

7. If your CC: list is regularly longer than the actual content of your
message, you're probably going to be punished eternally. (Ever heard of
>>BCC:?)

-*8*-. If you're using Outlook, IE, or Netscape to write e-mail, turn
off "HTML encoding." Those of us on Unix shells can't read it, and don't
care enough to save the attachment and then view it with a web browser,
since you're probably forwarding us a copy of the Neiman-Marcus Cookie
Recipe anyway.

9. If you still absolutely MUST forward that 10th-generation message
from a friend, at least have the decency to trim the eight miles of
headers
>>showing
>>everyone else who's received it over the last 6 months. It sure
wouldn't hurt
>>to get rid of all the ">" that begin each line. Besides, if it has
gone around that many times, we've probably already seen it.

10. Craig Shergold in England is not dying of cancer or anything else at
this time and would like everyone to stop sending him their business
cards. He apparently is also no longer a "little boy" either.
