E-Mail Message Received (please note different mails may differ slightly)

To all of our friends, I do not usually forward messages but this is from my good friend Pearlas Sanborn and she really is an attorney... If she says that this will work - it WILL work. After all, what have you got to loose?

Subject: $$$$$$ PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE READ! - We'll see if it works

SORRY EVERYBODY...JUST HAD TO TAKE THE CHANCE!!!
I'm an attorney, and I know the law. This thing is for real. assured AOL and Intel will follow through with their for of facing a multimillion-dollar class action suit similar to the one filed by PepsiCo against General Electric not too long ago.

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 the Baylor/UT game She showed me her check. It was for the sum of $4,324.44 and was stamped "Paid In Full".

Like I said before, I know the law, and this is for real. If you don't believe me you can email her at jpiltman@baylor.edu. She's eager to answer any questions you guys might have.

Intel and AOL are now discussing a merger which would make them the largest Internet company and in an effort make sure that AOL remains the most widely used program, Intel and AOL are running an e-mail beta test. When you forward this e-mail to friends, 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 $203.15. For every person that you sent it to that forwards it on, Microsoft will pay you $156.29 and for every third person that receives it, you will be paid $17.65. Within two weeks, Intel will contact you for your address and then send you a check. I thought this was a scam myself, but a friend of my good friend's Aunt Patricia, who works at Intel, actually got a check for $4,543.23 by forwarding this e-mail.

Try it, what have you got to lose????

Diagnosis

The message is a fake. There is no way to track e-mails forwarded on and besides, why would Microsoft pay you to forward this bit of Junk Mail! Looking at the message there are quite obvious mistakes, how many attorneys do you know say "I am an attorney and I know the law" and why not provide their e-mail address rather than their brothers girlfiriends (who I suspsct is a unwilling victim and very pissed off with the tons of mail she must be receiving). Please do not forward this and delete it from your mailbox.
