I found this today on www.breakthechain.org and thought I would share it with all of you.  I apologize if it is a repost.

Shakespeare on Spam (by Anonymous) 
These several airy unnamed messengers 
Do daily cram my inbox bursting full; 
And with a battery of promises 
(Of manhood's lengthening, safe and natural; 
Of sites whereat strange couplings may be seen, 
Or beauties nubile as the law allows; 
Of meetings with old schoolmates, none of whom 
I've spared a brace of thoughts for these ten years) 
Make sifting out my correspondences 
A passing trial. O, take care, my friends! 
The rambling jest you send has like been seen 
Ten times, forwarded by some jackanapes; 
And sooth, I'll not contribute to a chain 
But risk the lapse in fortunes an I don't. 
Of all conveniences, these are most meet: 
The Bulk folder, "Select All," and "Delete."

THIS TOOK TWO PAGES OF THE TUESDAY USATODAY - IT IS FOR REAL

 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 
292-1085 Charles_Bailey at csx.com Charles_bailey at csx.com 

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????
