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!!!

It's chainmail! Hotmail will know exactly who their active and inactive users are! Out of resources? Microsoft!

Those are so annoying, I always get the ones for AOL too where you have to sign it or they'll get shut down; so I copy all of the people it was sent to and write "Good, put AOL out of its misery" :evil MUAHAHAHA.... but it doesn't make a difference anyways.
