I got an email yesterday from my mom who got it from one of her friends and so on...

This is what it said.

"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 Operations

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'.

I don't believe this will work, but personally, (but who doesn't love money?!) I figured I would try it. If you want me to forward this on to you, so you can send it to your friends, then so on, please PM me, and make the topic title as EMAIL. Thanks. :)

go work
I'm 12.... ._. Your not allowed to work a GOOD paying job until your at least 14.
I thought it was 16 xD. When you're 14, all you can do is volunteer at jobs for free, which will help in getting a better job when older.

And, interesting email convo...

This is a scam. Bill Gates isn't sending people money. Just another way for people to get their kicks.
 
Wow, you can tell it is fake.
Why would Microsoft make a CHAIN mail?
And theres better ways to keep Internet Explorer successful.
 
Fake. Plus, I got a job that payed me $100+ this summer. Not a lot, but the more you work with them and the more weeks you work there during the summer, the more you get paid. Plus, when i was like 9, I started mowing lawns. You get money for doing that. it's called working. Chain mail never works. It just makes you look dumb.

I don't know what you guys are talking about, that's OBVIOUSLY real.
Obviously.
I can't believe this idiots thought this was fake.
'All I needed to know.

Typo, or not.
 
He he this is fake and old for that matter... Aol isn't that big now...

I love chain letters, it is just amazing how viral they are due to the superstitious nature of people. I really wish people weren't so superstitious sometimes, but o well.

I just got a text chain thing from my little cousin the other day... I am not continuing it so technically my mom should be dead about now lol
