Everyday, I received forwarded e-mails. Not just one, but many. I don't mind receiving jokes, funny pics, advices, or anything besides "CHAIN LETTER". This topic might looks boring, but I'm revealing some truth here to stop you guys from forwarding those "useless" chain e-mails. Definition of chain letter-[A typical chain letter consists of a message that attempts to induce the recipient to make a number of copies of the letter and then pass them on to as many recipients as possible. A chain letter can be considered a type of meme. Common methods used in chain letters include emotionally manipulative stories, get-rich-quick pyramid schemes, and the exploitation of superstition to threaten the recipient with bad luck or even physical violence or death if he or she "breaks the chain" and refuses to adhere to the conditions set out in the letter.]

1)
Did you guys ever received a kind of e-mail that said:
I'm "ABC". I'm from "XYZ".
My daughter/son/whoever it is, is having "PQR" sickness.
This is her/his/my picture,
(\_____/)
(^(@@)^)
(,,,)----(,,,)
If you forward this e-mail to one/more than 1 person, we'll receive "#@" cents...

The truth is, this is all bullshit. There's no way they can get the money, there's no way they can track how many people you forwared to(UNLESS he/she sent you a virus that track everything you do) and they don't even know where the e-mail went after they'd sent it.

Did you guys ever receive a kind of e-mail that said:
This is soooooo true!
Here's some story from other people that delete this e-mail after they'd read it,
Mr./Ms.Fake found dead in his toilet bowl(or anywhere) after he deleted this e-mail.
Mr./Ms.Example had been dumped by her BF/GF after she deleted this email.
Mr./Ms.(whoever) blah blah(bad news) after he/she deleted this email.

C'mon ppl.... Don't tell me that you believe this kind of email? I don't think so right? If this is true, I'll not be here typing this now. I'll be in the heaven already! X-X Because I'd deleted every of this kind of e-mails right after i read it. This doesn't make sense right?

Did you guys ever receive a kind of e-mail that said:
AbCDefGhIjKlMnOpqrStuVwxyZ..
Scroll down.............(weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee)
And make a wish (I wish for this and that)
Then you'll see a big word "STOP".
If you forward this e-mail in XXXseconds to XXppl, your dream will come true in XXXminutes.

=_=" If this is true, everyone will have their dream guy/girl kissing her/him already. How nice if this is true huh? Unfortunately, this is fake. (C'mon.. don't cry.... you'll still get your dream girl/boy if u try hard.. ^^ If u still cant get him/her, find a new one. There's over 6.725 billion ppl living in this Earth now, not just him/her alone.)

After fowarding, please send this e-mail to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
In XXdays, you'll receive XXX$$ check.

Hello ppl! Wake up! If this is soooo true, "Billy Gate" will go bankrupt soon. Do you know how fast this kind of e-mail pass on to ppl and do you know how many ppl receive this e-mail? Think again.

In conclusion, think twice, think smart, think logic. Please don't misunderstand what I mean here, I'm not trying to criticize anyone. I'm not angry to those who sent me this kind of e-mail, because you don't know the truth yet. I created this post is to help you guys to open your mind. I hope you guys understand what I mean. Thanks for reading anyway. Have a nice day deleting those e-mails. haha. ^^
