WALT DISNEY JR. GREETING Hello Disney fans, And thank you for
signing up for Bill Gates' Beta
Email Tracking My name is Walt
Disney Jr. Here at Disney we are working with Microsoft which
has just compiled
an e-mail tracing program that tracks everyone to whom this message
is forwarded
to. It does this through an unique IP (Internet Protocol) address
log book database.
We are experimenting with this and need your help.Forward this
to everyone you
know and if it reaches 13,000 people, 1,300 of the people on the
list will receive
$5,000, and the rest will receive a free trip for two to Disney
World for one week during the summer of
1999 at our expense. Enjoy. Note: Duplicate entries will not be
counted. You will be notified by email
with further instructions once this email has reached 13,000 people.
Your friends, Walt Disney Jr.,
Disney, Bill Gates, & The Microsoft Development Team.
Please do not forward this chain letter.

Welcome to my hoax section if

I
do not spread hoaxes! these pages are simply to inform
other users that they are hoaxes. Please to not spread
hoaxes. Hoax warnings are typically scare alerts started
by malicious people - and passed on by innocent users
who think they are helping the community by spreading
the warning.
Do
not forward hoax messages. There have been cases where
e-mail systems have collapsed after dozens of users forwarded
a false alert to everybody in the company. Corporate users
can get rid of the hoax problem by simply setting a strict
company guideline: End users must not forward virus
alarms. Ever. If such message is received, end users could forward it to the IT department
but not to anyone else.
