I got this in an email. I doubt it but here it is:
What have we got to lose? Just try it!
Subject: Fw: PLEEEEEEASE REEEEEAD! IT WAS ON GOOD
MORNING AMERICA TODAY SH OW ...
THIS TOOK TWO PAGES OF THE TUESDAY USA TODAY - IT IS
FOR REAL
To all of my friends, I do not usually forward
messages,
But this is from my friend Pealas 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 &nbs p; 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.

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.
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 affoard
this, Bill gates
is the man.
It's all marketing

This is an old scam. Bill Gates IS sharing his fortune, but not over the internet. (He's giving millions to charity) Don't fall for ANYTHING like this.

It's a scam, scam, scam. Bill Gates could care less if you or I use his internet explorer. He is rich enough.
Chain emails like this are SO OLD (but makes you smile at how many people still get duped everyday).

When you hear on the news of people quiting en mass & Microsoft shutting its doors because of lack of money then you will know it is true. Until then, just an old internet hoax.

Amazing that someone got through law school without even knowing how to construct a coherent sentence. Oh well, stupidity seeks its own level.
