Stop! Do not forward that email chain letter to me. Even if they say they will place a curse on you if you don’t send it to everyone you know. I don’t want it and nobody else does either.

Do not believe pass-around emails either. Most are hoaxes. Bill Gates will not be sharing his fortune with you and those you forward to.  If you really think you need to forward it, first check it out at snopes.com. If you later find out that you forwarded a hoax, please send your apology to those receiving your email.
