[darren@example.com (Darren Cook)]

Here is something to brighten up your morning...

>Free Money!!!
>
>There is a computer virus that is being sent across the Internet.
>If you receive an e-mail message with the subject line "Free Money,"
>DO NOT read the message. DELETE it immediately, UNPLUG your computer,
>then BURN IT to ASHES in a government-approved toxic waste disposal
>INCINERATOR.
>
>Once a computer is infected, it will be TOO LATE. Your computer will
>begin to emit a vile ODOR. Then it will secrete a foul, milky DISCHARGE.
>Verily, it shall SCREECH with the tortured, monitor-shattering
>SCREAM of 1,000 hell-scorched souls, drawing unwanted attention to
>your cubicle from co-workers and supervisors alike. After violently
>ripping itself from the wall, your computer will punch through
>your office window as it STREAKS into the night, HOWLING like a
>BANSHEE. Once free, it will spend the rest of its days CRUSHING
>household PETS and MOCKING the POPE.
>
>Some filthy, disgusting miscreant... some no-good, low-down, good-for
>- -nothing DIRTY SNAKE, in twisted pursuit of his own sadistic dreams,
>is sending this virus across the Net via an e-mail entitled "Free
>Money." What is so terrifying about this virus is that you do not
>even to have to open the e-mail for it to activate. In fact, you do
>not even need to RECEIVE the e-mail. You do not even need to OWN a
>COMPUTER. "Free Money" can infect even minor HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES.
>
>How it does this with straight ASCII code is, franky, a matter of
>some debate... but BELIEVE YOU US, if this weren't a SERIOUS
>situation, WE WOULDN'T BE DISCUSSING IT IN 'ALL CAPS'.
>
>So for the LOVE OF GOD, forward this e-mail to all those you claim
>to care about, all those you purport to love. Don't do it later!
>Do it NOW! Now! Now! NOW! NOW! NOW!
