That one is a hoax as well ML :>) It has been circulating for nearly 2 years now. Any piece of mail which you receive that asks you to forward it to others is virtually always a hoax. :>)

Actually there used to be this thing that if you mass mailed 25 (I think that is the number) pieces they would close down your account for spamming.  So this is a little more malicious than it seems at first glance.  Just as getting you to delete essential files and harm your computer, this also could cause trouble and loss for you.  These are nothing more than spam and virus attacks by proxy.  Only this time they want you to be the server.

Hi ML! I just had to chime in here..."buddy" "spamming me"" ...these two are misguided! The buddy for sending it, and the ref to 'my buddy'! I kept getting all the same emails from all the family members...I was  even on the address list within the mail! They still kept fwd'ing to me until finally I sent out a 'Voo Doo' chain letter I wrote.

"If you forward this to more than 1 ,,,you will have rickets and ringworm on your  face for 5 years, If you....blah blah  At the end I said..."it wasn't even me that sent this...that I had been buried under 4 feet of fwd'd e-mail for 4 months before passing on...and requested not to have a service..."

I still love that one...no more fwd's btw.
