Joe, What do you know about this?
Subject: Fw: PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE READ
To all of my 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 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 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 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". Like I said before, I know the law, and this
is for real.
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, Intel 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 of $4,543.23
by forwarding this e-mail.
Try it, what have you got to lose????
