Chain mails
You know how those go.
They usually begin with a sob story: This happened to my aunty's friend's grandmother's friend's niece's sister-in-law!!! Mrs. X (X as in non-eXistent?) was on her way home from the market when a whole bunch of cats, attracted by the scent of ikan kembung which she bought for her dinner, started attacking her. As a result, she lost the ability to walk normally ever again (besides her dinner). What's more, she now smells permanently of fish and has developed a rational phobia towards feline creatures. THIS IS A TRUE STORY!!!!! Help forward this email to everyone in your address book, and Mrs. X will get 10 cents from each forwarded mail to help her buy deodorant and a home in a cat-free country!!! Every cent counts!!! If you don't do this in 10 minutes, you will permanently smell of fish.
Or, another favorite: DON'T DELETE! This is a SPECIAL mail! Anyone who forwards this will have GOOD LUCK in life!
*Mr.Y. U. Sodum was homeless and jobless. He forwarded this mail (though how he managed to check his email account, being jobless, I can't imagine...) and in the next hour a man in a limousine stopped him and told Mr.Sodum that he was his long-lost father. Now Mr.Sodum is a millionaire!!!
*Miss Dess Prate has a crush on a handsome man who never notices her. One day she got his email address from a friend of a friend of a friend, and went online to send him a 'I'm your Secret Admirer' email, when she saw this mail in her inbox, and forwarded it to everyone in her address book in 5 minutes. Before she could email her crush, there was a mail from him proposing to her!!! They now live happily ever after.
If you don't forward this in 10 minutes, you will have BAD LUCK for the rest of your life! You will never get a date!!! And your boss will fire you!!! Or you will break your leg. And someone you love will DIE! This is true!!!
If you send this to 5 people, you will receive a sudden windfall. If you send this to 15 people, your crush will call you! If you send this to a 100 people, your crush will ask you to marry him, and win a million dollars!!!
Yeah. Those mails. As annoying as people who spit in public. But the thing which never fails to amaze me is the fact that I still get all this crap in my inbox!!! There are people who still believe that by forwarding mails, a little starving girl in some poor country is gonna get a bowl of rice. Hell-o???! Wake up!
The girl doesn't exist. You won't win money - or anything else - by forwarding all these emails. You're more likely to lose your friends. And your crush won't call you/ask you out/marry you just because of some stupid fake mail dreamt up by some idiot. In fact, you'll probably scare him off if he's on your mailing list.
The people who start chain mails deserve to be attacked by cats and smell of fish forever.
