If a friend emailed you saying they were having financial problems and needed 80 thousand dollars. If they asked you to mail one dollar and forward this on to everyon in their address book, and ask them to do the same. And so on down the line. Hoping it would reach 80 thousands people or at least enough people willing to help out. Would you send your friend the one dollar and forward the email to everyone in your address book and ask them to do the same?

Hello people. I was not talking about me. A friend forward me the message that she had received down the line. It was only a dollar and the cost of a stamp so I thought why not....

No. Regardless of how many infinite ways you write such an email--it's still gonna smell like FRAUD and/or SCAM.
Such an email will quite likely draw the attentions of local, state and yes....even the FBI; the latter has plenty of high-tech muscle and Langley, Virginia (CIA/Homeland Security) backup resources to find you--no matter how clever or well you THINK you can hide. Do you feel THAT lucky?
Psst:.....Feds are busting spam scammers by the semi-truck loads every blessed day--and it NEVER makes CNN headlines. Again: Do YOU have the savvy wit to out-fox the Feds? I'm not betting you do, pal.
If you're $80k in the hole, I hope your debt isn't with the Mafia.
If I get an email that remotely looks like one you've proposed here, I'll positively DELETE it.

For me i'm not in to chain letters and i don't think let work at all. It sounds like a scam even if it is only a dollar. If you get this letters alot think about how many dollars you will be out of or what you could of brought for yourself.

If it was a friend, then yes I would do my best to help them. I would try really hard, because what goes around comes around. You may never know what you may need when the time comes. As for the stranger, I don't know. I guess that I wouldn't know until it happened to me. Do what you think and feel is right.

YES!! i would do everything in my power to help out. especially if it was a close friend. i mean to me friendships are important and part of being a good friend is being there when your friend needs help. so i'd definitely help out in every way i possibly could. although i would be a tad curious as to why they needed soooo much money.
