Hi nixhomeemailaddress

Your email address was contained in one of the recent chain mails we received, as your address was in one of these chain mails we thought you might have more that you would be willing to send to us. We are setting up a new website (www.chain-mail.net) that will detail all the different types of mail that gets forwarded around the internet and how many people they actually reach, so please help us by sending us all the chain mail you have, anything that has been forwarded, absolutely anything even the rude ones.

We really would be grateful if you and your friends could help us get this site up and running so please forward this email on to as many friends as you can and send us all the chain mail you have yourself and keep them coming. Everyone that helps will get a free login to the site when it is up and running.

The types of forwards we are after, absolutely anything will do really so long as it has been forwarded.

Please send all forwards to the following address: [email protected]

Funnies
Jokes
Office gossip/tickle tackle
Pictures
Video clips
Messages
Information/Communication forwards

Thanks for your help.

I'm tempted to just send them all the junk mail sans other peoples addresses but I really can't be bothered.

Maybe just bombard them with a few hundred emails with 5Mb attachments just to fill their in box.

Of course it could be legit......yeah right.
