A sick child will send the Nieman Marcus Cookie recipe to Bill Gates.

What's your favorite email hoax? (or urban legend)

[PretzelWarrior]

1. I like the Nigerian guy Igba Poloblumba who has $200,000

to send to you if only you'll send him x dollars.

Why? Mainly because it's so outrageous but also because my friend and I convinced a gullible younger guy in high school through forged letters and photographs that I had a black uncle in South Africa (I'm caucasian) who was a manager of a diamond mine. Toby Kuwandi. I was 17 and that was when I knew I would love to write satire.

3. That's a hoax? Oh shit!

2. I guess my favorite is the AOL/Microsoft Merger

Anything that says "I'm and attorney, And I know the law." makes me laugh

THIS TOOK TWO PAGES OF THE TUESDAY USATODAY - IT IS FOR REAL

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

!!!! It was on the news! Kathy South Alcoa - EHS Maintenance !!!! Coordinator Phone:

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.

Rubbishing the French, the perils of Internet hook ups, incest.
