while ago I received a very touching email about a baby which was burnt on a fire accident and its family needs money for its surgeries...The people of the email claimed that if i send this email to others 3 pence will be donated per email for the cause...Is this true or a trick?If yes how does it work?anyone have any idea?

Sorry, but it sounds like a scam or hoax

Any email that claims to pay, give a gift certificate, etc, if you forward it to so many people within a certain time, etc, is simply false. Their is no way to track each individual email, know matter what the email states. The way that the internet protocols is set up regarding forwarding rules, number of hops, etc, makes tracking emails extremely, if not, impossible.

This is not true. Even if there is an actual family whose baby was burned in a fire, sending emails to people will do nothing.

Most likely they are trying to spread a virus or spam via email.
