comedy email time again

Hey it is Andy and john the directors of MSN, sorry for the interruption but
msn is closing down. this is because too many inconsiderate people are
taking up all the name (eg making up lots of different accounts for
just one
person), we only have 578 names left. If you would like to close your
account, DO NOT SEND THIS MESSAGE ON. If you would like to keep your
account, then SEND THIS MESSAGE TO EVERYONE ON YOUR CONTACT LIST. This
is no
joke, we will be shutting down the servers. Send it on, thanks.
WHO EVER DOES NOT SEND THIS MESSEAGE, YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE CLOSED AND
YOU
WILL COST £10.00 A MONTH TO USE. SEND THIS TO EVERYONE ON YOUR CONTACT
LIST.
NOW YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO. PLEASE DO NOT FORWARD THIS or REPLAY. COPY THE
WHOLE EMAIL. GO BACK TO YOUR INBOX AND CLICK ON NEW. AND PASTE THANK
YOU FOR
YOUR ATTENTION
hey everyone, i dont normally send this sort of stuff out but had a
look on
the internet and its actually true . On the 1st of november , we will
have
to pay for the use of our MSN and email accounts unless we send this
message
to at least 18 contacts on your contact list. It's no joke if you don't
believe me then go to the site
(http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/1189119.stm ) and see for yourself.
Anyways once you've sent this message to at least 18 contacts, your msn
dude
will become blue. please copy and paste don't forward cos people won't
take
notice of it


the linky seems perfectly safe, and the news is only 5 years old...so beware!

heh, I got one of these. I don't see how people believe these things. Obviously if it was an official e-mail from Microsoft saying they're going to charge you to use the email they would at least make the email look fancy. And not just use plain text.

Plus they spring up every time MSN goes down... then the supposed date when they will start to charge rolls along and surprise surprise!! NO FEE'S!

I hate chain mail.

i was just going to post about this, defo fake.

 

[JohnnyG]

Yeah, well I've sent it on to 18 contacts so I guess we'll see if it's a fake or not won't we.

 

[Neoni]

lol, you can tell by the way its worded. dont worry

 

[PinkPig]

lol, you can tell by the way its worded. dont worry

Glad you cleared that up for me, I was just about to give Andy and John a call and start paying my subscription.

i got one too :

Please Read Hi everybody, here is a true story. The use of msn and hotmail
will
cost money from summer 2006. If you send this message to 18
different people from your list your little msn icon will become
blue and that will make it free for you. If you don't believe me go
on (www.msn.com) and see it yourself. Don't forward this message,
copy paste it so people will actually read

sent it on and my icon still isnt blue

It's no joke if you don't
believe me then go to the site

IF YOU DONT BELIEVE ME? HAHAHA

How about an official press release on the MSN Messenger website for a start

 

[Amp34]

Wow a link that actually works!! I got sent an almost identical version the other day and the link they provided didnt even work.

I spend my entire time telling friends if it doesnt have an msn symbol over the envelope its not real but they dont seem to listen. And why would copying and pasting instead of forwarding work.

 

[Chronos-X]

lol, you can tell by the way its worded. dont worry

*whoosh* XD

 

[Ren.182]

And why would copying and pasting instead of forwarding work.

Neither would work really It just makes the chain look more "authentic" if it doesn't have 10 pages of people's email addresses going down the page

 

[Neoni]

/gets out keyboard....

Comon!
