Anyone received an email.........?

[hippy-chick]

I've just received an email from my sister, its apparently a marketing tool for microsoft.

Bill Gates is not happy that microsoft are not getting the attention, so he's devised this scheme, if you email someone with this particular email, you will earn $240, its supposed to be a tracking scheme and they will pay you 2 weeks after you have sent it.

Ive not had that one, but had others similar like : email this to 10 people and win a prize etc etc

Im sure it's a scam, because they wouldnt know if you forwarded the email or not anyway.

Hello everybody,

My name is Bill Gates. I have just written up an e-mail tracing program that traces everyone to whom this message is forwarded to. I am experimenting with this and I need your help. Forward this to everyone you know and if it reaches 1000 people everyone on the list will receive $1000 at my expense. Enjoy.

Your friend, Bill Gates

This is just one of the emails going around from 'ol Bill. The other story floating around the Net is that he's also going to send the first 1000 people who respond to his email a free copy of Windows 98.
