I received this as a chain letter e-mail from a friend of mine,
What is the deal?
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: 765/771 - 3547 Pager : 765/420 - 6575
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.
When you forward this e-mail to friends, Microsoft can and will track it ( If you are a Microsoft Windows user) For a two weeks 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.
Regards. Charles S Bailey General Manager Field Operations
1-800-842-2332 Ext. 1085 or 904-1085 or RNX

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 withindays, I receive a check for $24,800.00. You need to respond before the beta testing is over. If anyone can affoard 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 i went 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.
Intel and AOL are now discussing a merger which would make them the largest Internet company and in an effort make sure that AOL remains the most widely used program, Intel and AOL are running an e-mail beta test.
When you forward this e-mail to friends, Intel can and will track it( if you are a Microsoft Windows user)for a two week time period.
TRy it; What have you got to lose????

It depends on how dumb the people are that send them to you, they wouldn’t send them to you if they thought you wouldn’t buy into them.
If you want to look smarter than them send your friends a reply with this info to Urban Legends Reference Pages at http://snopes.com/ after you have verified the hoax or urban legend and then tell them to stop wasting your time and bandwidth on the Internet.
There is no such thing as free money, doesn’t everyone know that?

Just so happens Bill Gates' dad was leading the charge for the government to KEEP the inheritance (Death) tax. So he was planning on giving away some of Bills money for him.

True, but by leading that charge he wanted to give away my parents money, my money and everyone elses money when they die to the government. I guess it was like... what're they gonna do with it. Sheesh... the government NEEDs that money, they can't live without it... I am glad Bush did away with the inheritance tax.:p

The only thing dumber than the text in that chain e-mail are the people who send it to everyone they know thinking they might see some of Bill's money. :yuk:
