but do poorly written chain letters annoy you.
today I got this one:
it is tara and john the directors of MSN, sorry for the interruption but
msn is closing down. this is because too many inconsiderate people are
taking up all the name (eg making up lots of different accounts for just one
person), we only have 578 names left. If you would like to close your
account, DO NOT SEND THIS MESSAGE ON. If you would like to keep your
account, then SEND THIS MESSAGE TO EVERYONE ON YOUR CONTACT LIST. This is no
joke, we will be shutting down the servers. Send it on, thanks. WHO EVER
DOES NOT SEND THIS MESSEAGE, YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE CLOSED AND YOU WILL COST
10.00 A MONTH TO USE. SEND THIS TO EVERYONE ON YOUR CONTACT LIST. NOW YOU
KNOW WHAT TO DO. PLEASE DO NOT FORWARD THIS or REPLAY. COPY THE WHOLE EMAIL.
GO BACK TO YOUR INBOX AND CLICK ON NEW. AND PASTE THANK YOU FOR YOUR
ATTENTION. It’s no joke if you don’t believe me then go to the site
(http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/1189119.stm ) and see for yourself.
Anyways once you’ve sent this message to at least 18 contacts, your msn dude
will become blue
1. (not shown) it is written in YELLOW with BLACK highlight! What is that?
2. poorly punctuated, if it really was the directors of MSN, wouldn’t you hope they could write better than a 4 year old?
3. why is there a whole paragraph in capitals? why are they shouting?
4. It will cost 10.00 per month, 10 what? 10 American dollars, 10 Baht, 10 livers, 10 SOULS?
5. good they provided a link, but wait a minute, the article is from Febuary, 2001, has it really taken 7 years for this to get around?
6. the word dude, isn’t there anymore educated word.
lastly if it WERE MSN messaging us, why would they use chain letters, they send out messages to people every week, why not just another like that!
that combined with a bad day made me wanna explode!!!
are there any chain letters that annoy you?
