    Default Would this be true?

    Yesterday I received an E-Mail,from a friend,here are the contents
    Subject: FW:
    Content:
    >>>>>> >>Hey it is Andy the director of MSN, Tim Buiski, sorry
    for
    >>>>>>the interruption
    >>>>>> >>but MSN is closing the system down because too many
    >>>>>>inconsiderate people
    >>>>>> >>are
    >>>>>> >>taking up all the names, we only have 578 names left, if you
    >>>>>>would like to
    >>>>>> >>close your account, then do not send this message out, if
    >>>>>>you would like
    >>>>>> >>to
    >>>>>> >>keep your account, then send this message to everyone on
    >>>>>>your contact
    >>>>>> >>list.
    >>>>>> >>This is no joke, we are really shutting down the servers.
    >>>>>>Send it, thanks,
    >>>>>> >>Tim
    Buiski, WHO EVER DOES NOT SEND THIS MESSAGE, YOUR
    >>>>>>ACCOUNT WILL BE
    >>>>>> >>CLOSED
    >>>>>> >>AND WILL COST $10.00 A MONTH TO USE, SEND THIS TO EVERYONE
    >>>>>>ON YOUR LIST
    >>>>>> >>
    >>>>>> >>
    >>>>>> >>
    >>>>>> >>Anthony x x x
    >>>>>> >>
    >>>>>> >>
    And then a whole bunch of MSN ads


    I'm pretty sure that this is just a prank E-Mail. I did not forward it because I hate forward E-Mails that are like 'forward this to 10 people and your true love will come over'.What do you guys think?

    Indeed. But if you believe that, I know some lawyers in Nigeria who are dealing with the wills for several millionaires.

    No I did not believe this everyone. Apparently the people before me believed it though(I think there were over hundred e-mails there),or I would'nt have gotten it.

    He just didn't want to look like an ass and be left out.

    I blame everything on peer pressure.

    Received last beta of MSN Messenger a few days ago, another 8.0 beta and NO ONE mentionned anything like this to me.
    So yeah, not true and all.






    My son has a rare disease called noobatbirth. 99999999 of 100000000 americans have this disease. He's currently 3 weeks old and fighting for his life while more than 30 cables and tubes are plugged on his tiny pink body. He have electrodes inserted in his anus to stimulate his brain directly by shocking his spine everytime he post a noob reply on a message board.
    At the rate the disease is growing, he might be dead in less than a month, killed by a moderator with over-whelming power or simply attacked by another angry forumer. I'm asking for donations, EVERY donation will count toward his re-habilitation. The cost of the surgery and the re-habilitation are well over 3 zillion dollars.
    Please send money, even a quarter if you can, thru PayPal at [email protected]

    Please also foward this to everyone in your contacts, and let the world know about this rare disease.
    Thanks for your time
