香港帰りの友人からのタレコミ。ありがとう。今度おごります。内容を超訳すると

「MicrosoftとAOLがメールのβテストをしてます。
　このメールを転送すると、Microsoftがメールを追跡して
　転送した人に$245.00、次に転送した人に$243.00、
　それを受け取った人に$241.00支払います。

　（別の人らしきメッセージで）
　騙されたと思ってやってみたら$24,800.00ももらえちゃったよ！」

ってな内容。日本なら、メールを追跡されたら呪われちゃうんだけど、欧米だとお金がもらえたり、寄付になったりするんだな。国民性の違いかな。この内容が本当なら、Microsoftの新型メールシステムとゲイツの財布はあっという間にパンクするでしょうね。
楽に金を儲ける方法なんてありゃしませんよ。はぁ。

Subject: FW: PLEEEEEASE READ!!!!! It was on the news!


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 is 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 week 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 cheque.

Regards.

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
within days, I received a cheque for US$24,800.00.
You need to respond before the beta testing is over.
If anyone can afford 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 US$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.

For every person that you forward this e-mail to,
Microsoft will pay you $203.15.

For every person that you sent it to that forwards
it on, Microsoft will pay you $156.29.

And for every third person that receives it, you will
be paid $17.65. Within two weeks, Intel will contact
you for your address and then send you a check.
I thought this was a scam myself, but a friend of my
good friend's Aunt Patricia, who works at Intel,
actually got a check of $4,543.23 by forwarding this e-mail.

Try it, what have you got to lose????
