To all of my friends, I do not usually forward messages, But this is from my 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?



READ BELOW.



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-week 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.







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



within days, I received a check for $24,800.00. You need to respond before



the beta testing is over. If anyone can afford 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 Iwent 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.
