ladylike Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Got a foward today from an online friend who also sent this email to people in her address book: ___________________________________________________________ Dear Hotmail User, Because of the sudden rush of people signing up to Hotmail, it has come to our attention that we are vastly running out of resources. So, within a month's time, anyone who does not receive this email with the exact subject heading, will be deleted off our server. Please forward this email so that we know you are still using this account. WARNING WARNING We want to find out which users are actually using their Hotmail accounts. So if you are using your account, please pass this e-mail to every Hotmail user that you can and if you do not pass this letter to anyone we will delete your account. From Mr. Jon Henerd Hotmail Admin. Dept. Our hotmail system is getting too crowded!! We need you to forward this to at least 20 people. I know this seems like a large number, but we need to find out who is really using their account. If you do not send this to AT LEAST 10 Hotmail members, we will delete your account. Sorry for this inconvenience. Sincerely, Director of Hotmail Services Aaron Lopez Please do this! Some of my friends have already gotten deleted and you aren't allowed to send it back to the person who sent this email to you!!! _____________________________________________________________ I didn't know whether to believe it or not but I was wondering if anyone else got it too. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
