 YOU HAVE BEEN CHOSEN TO BE A VICTIM!
 
 This message has been e-mailed to you for no good reason. The
 original sender has been hunted down and executed. It has been sent
 back and forth to the same superstitious dorks for about 20 years.
 This stupid piece of trash has now been e-mailed to you. You will
 spread the boredom within seconds of receiving this message -
 provided you, in turn, e-mail it on.
 
 This is no joke. Not even I, the sender, am amused. You will gets lots
 of angry e-mail in return, but no money. Send copies to people you
 think are as stupid as you are. E-mail your credit card number and
 expiration date to as many people as you can. Don't send money as it
 will clog up your Net connection. Do not keep this message. This
 message must leave your hard drive in 96 hours.
 
 * A United States Crack Dealer received $470,000 Dollars.
 * Another Man received $40,000 Dollars and lost it because he
 couldn't find it.
 * In the Philippines, Gene Welch lost his wife 51 days after receiving
 the message. He failed to circulate the message. However, before his
 death, he received 7,555,000 new wives.
 
 Please e-mail twenty copies to Canter & Seigel and see what happens
 in four days. The chain comes from Venezuela and was written by
 Saul De Groda, a plumber from Cleveland. He has been hunted down
 and executed. Since the copy must tour the Net, you must make
 twenty copies and e-mail them to friends and associates. After a few
 days you'll get a flood of angry responses. Nothing is true, even if
 you are superstitious. Do note the following:
 
 * Constantine Dias received this chain in 1958, several years before it
 was created. He asked his boss to make twenty copies and send them
 out. He was fired and became a prostitute. A few days later he won
 two dollars in the lottery.
 
 * Carlos Daditt, an office droid, received the message and forgot that
 it had to leave his hard disk in 96 hours. He lost about 20KBytes of
 storage space. Later, after finding the message again, he erased it
 from his hard drive. A few days later he was fired and went into
 business with Constantine.
 
 * Dalan Fairchild received the message and, not believing, deleted it.
 Nine days later he choked to death on a ham sandwich while
 watching the "Space Madness" episode of Ren & Stimpy.
 
 * In 1987, the message received by a young woman in California was
 full of garbage characters due to line noise, and was barely readable.
 She promised herself that she would retype the message and e-mail
 it on, but she set it aside to do volunteer work at an orphange. She
 was plagued with various problems, including being beaten up by
 the kids at the orphanage. The e-mail did not leave her hands within
 96 hours. She finally typed the letter as promised and was beaten so
 severly by the children that she was hospitalized for 18 months.
 
 So, Good Luck, but please remember: 20 copies of this message MUST
 leave your computer in 96 hours...
 
 You must not sign off on this message...
 
 YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!
