Subject:  PLEEEEEEASE READ!!!! it was on the news!





!!!! It  was on the news! Kathy South Alcoa - EHS Maintenance Coordinator Phone:  765/771 - 3547 Pager : 765/420 - 6575


To all of  my friends, I do not usually forward messages, But this is from my good friend  Pearlas Sandborn 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.


Dear  Friends; Please do not take this for a junk letter. Bill Gates sharing his  fortune. If you ignore this, You will repent later. Microsoft and AOL are now  the largest Internet companies and in an effort to make sure that Internet  Explorer remains the most widely used program, Microsoft and AOL are running  an e-mail beta test.


When you  forward this e-mail to friends, Microsoft can and will track it ( If you are a  Microsoft Windows user)  For a two weeks time period. 


For every  person that you forward this e-mail to, Microsoft will pay you $245.00 For  every person that you sent it to that forwards it on, Microsoft will pay you  $243.00 and for every third person that receives it, You will be paid $241.00.  Within two weeks, Microsoft will contact you for your address and then send  you a check.


Regards.  Charles S Bailey General Manager Field Operations
1-800-842-2332 Ext. 1085  or 904-1085 or RNX

I thought  this was a scam myself, But two weeks after receiving this e-mail and  forwarding it on. Microsoft contacted me for my address and withindays, I  receive a check for $24,800.00. You need to respond before the beta testing is  over. If anyone can affoard this, Bill gates is the man. 


It's all  marketing expense to him. Please forward this to as many people as possible.  You are bound to get at least $10,000.00. 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.


TRy it;  What have you got to lose????
