An email from a frustrated victim of chain mails

Hi All,

This is a Mail from a frustrated victim of chain mails:

I wanted to thank all my friends and family who have forwarded chain letters to me in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 and continuing it in 2009 also.

Because of your kindness:

* I stopped drinking Coca Cola after I found out that it's good for removing toilet stains.

* I stopped going to the movies for fear of sitting on a needle infected with AIDS.

* I smell like a wet dog since I stopped using deodorants because they cause cancer...

* I don't leave my car in the parking lot or any other place and sometimes. I even have to walk about  7 blocks for fear that someone will drug me with a perfume sample and try to rob me.

* I also stopped answering the phone for fear that they may ask me to dial a stupid number and then I  get a phone bill  with calls to Uganda, Singapore and Tokyo.

* I also stopped drinking anything out of a can for fear that I will get sick from the rat faeces and urine..

* When I go to parties, I don't look at any girl, no matter how hot she is, for fear that she will take me to a hotel, drug me, then take my kidneys and leave me taking a nap in a bathtub full of ice.

* I also donated all my savings to the Amy Bruce account. A sick girl that was about to die in the hospital about 7,000 times.. (Poor girl! she's been 7 since 1993...)

* Still open to help some from Bulgaria who wants to use my account to transfer his uncle's property of some hundred millions $.

* Made some Hundred wishes before forwarding those Ganesh , Tirupathi Balaji pics etc. Now most of those 'Wishes' are already married  (to someone else)

IMPORTANT NOTE:

If you do not send this e-mail to at least 11,246 people in the next 10 seconds, a bird will SH** on your head today at 6:10pm

Bye

SAD WALLMART STORY

This is hoax. Nothing true in it. Initially the email chain started in the year 2003 on the name of AOL and then myspace and now it is yahoo which is tracking J interesting huh?

Well, I would like everyone not to forward this kind of chain emails. This is pure wastage of human hours and internet bandwidth. There is no truth in this email or story.

The story is not giving any detail about the person, the place where it exactly happened, the date when it happened… no details. And why should yahoo or aol or myspace wait till it reaches to the specific number of forwards to help someone? If it reaches to 10 person allowing them to deduct $20 assuming the total need was of $25, they won’t help for the rest $5 and allow the kid to die? No ways!!! This is all foolishness and I don’t understand how educated people, as we are using internet – we are educated, can believe in such kind of stories.

DO NOT DELETE!!!!! YAHOO IS TRACKING THIS!!!!!!!! !!

A sister and her brother were inside a new Wal-Mart. The sister was eight years of age and the brother seventeen years of age. The brother was trying to buy a present for his little sister because her birthday was coming up. As they were about to leave, she had to go to the bathroom. Her brother showed her where the rest rooms were and he began looking at earrings he thought she might like for her birthday.

As he started to buy the earrings, he saw people running from the end of the store screaming and yelling with fear. In the next moment he smelled smoke and saw flames. He ran to his little sister as fast as he could but when he got to the bathrooms the fire was already blazing. He knew he had to leave to make sure help was coming... When the fire trucks arrived it was already too late.

They assured the family that there were no survivors. Two days later the family got a call from the hospital. They told them that they had someone there by the name of Sandy . They asked, 'How did you get this number?' The hospital replied that the little girl had a purse clutched in her little hand with a card that gave her name and number on it. The family drove to the hospital to see their little angel.

While they thanked God for her survival, they noticed her arms were burnt so severely they were both amputated and her face was burned and she needed surgery. The family didn't have any health insurance and very little money to cover the bill. This family needs our HELP!

NOTE: Every time someone forwards this story, YAHOO will donate $2.00 towards the hospital bill.

DO NOT DELETE! YAHOO IS TRACKING THIS!

Please forward this as 'Sad Wal-Mart Story'. God knows who you are.

Karma knows it could happen to you

$2.00 off the hospital bill, that is a lot for two seconds of your time'. God knows who you are.

IMPORTANT AND INTERESTING - HOAX Email

IT IS A RUMOR OVER THE INTERNET , THAT PUTTING YOUR PIN CODE IN REVERSE WILL CALL THE POLICE...........(FOR EXAMPLE IF YOUR PIN CODE IS "1245" , PUT IT AS "5421" )

THIS IS A SCAM , IT IS NOT TRUE , AND IT WILL NOT HELP YOU IN ANY WAY

Does entering your PIN number in reverse really summon the police?

The answer is no. We started seeing the email hoaxes on this topic this past September. NO SUCH SYSTEM HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED.

SUPPOSE I HAVE A PIN CODE "0110" Imagine trying THIS PIN number backwards. IT WILL REMAIN THE SAME "0110" , SO IT SHOULD CALL THE POLICE EVERY TIME I USE ATM

ITS JUST AN EMAIL HOAX

NEITHER ITS PRACTICAL , NOR IMPLEMENTED.

So, simply delete these email hoaxes and don't spread them to your friends.
