The Ultimate Chain Letter

Got this in my email this morning. Lets hope some of those people who create or forward sickly sweet chain prayers/wishes referencing God or fairies or sometimes both will GET THE BLOODY MESSAGE!

ENJOY YOUR MONDAY MORNING

Ha-ha :-)

I am anonymous - I can speak as I please.... I hate these sodding, nasty, horrible, piles of cr*p emails full of sweet sentiments or urgent warnings. Why don't people get the message when I return them with a link to Snopes showing they are a fraud.

I once forwarded a good-cause email and then realised it was a fake. I check everything out now. We all make mistakes when you get the umpteenth thing from the same person. Sheez.

As for the sweet Jesus loves you; the you're my best friend ones; and the cute cuddly animals [puke puke puke]: I can't say a thing because they are sent with sincerity. I just wonder how they feel that I never return them within the allocated number of seconds. Does it stop anyone? No!

And then..... to add insult to injury, the emails are sent out and forwarded on with my private email address sitting in amongst the long list of other mugs ready for the spam harvesters.

Don't send me anything unless you are sending it to me personally and have written it yourself!

So there.

Ooops. This isn't my blog.... I shouldn't go ranting off on yours Cheryl! Sorry ;-) But I had a good chuckle with that email you posted.

AMEN to that sisters!

What about those questionnaires? I don’t mind answering the ones that seem a little interesting and different, but I have a cousin who sends me at least one a month, same old stuff, ONCE A MONTH. She’s my cousin for craps sake, doesn’t she remember anything about me?

I forwarded one of them to my sister SHE threatened to KILL me if I ever sent her another. Just occurred to me, why would I send one to my OWN sister? Well, her answers were a scream, it was the death threat I could have done without.

They do prey on insecurity - I remember the first one of those I ever got because even I had to battle the niggling feeling that I would be paraded as some sort of shameful Norma-no-mates if I couldn't inflict a copy on the prescribed number of people.
Dumb, huh?
