I get chain letters all the time. This was the most convincing in ages. I actually called the phone number in the letter. 800-numbers in the USA aren’t reachable from Thailand. The second # was busy and the 3rd was out of service.
I sent the chain letter to 20 of my freinds only becasue they ahve done the same to me. If I get any $$$ I’ll let you know.
CHAIN LETTER
There must be something to this because this is the second time this has come around to me. Can’t hurt to al least check it out.
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 anattorney, And I know the law. This thing is for real. Rest assuredAOL 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.

Thought this was a scam myself, But two weeks after receiving this e-mail and forward ing 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 lea st $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’.
