I'm an attorney, and I know the law. This thing is for real. Rest assured AOL and Intel will follow through with their promises for
fear of facing a multimillion dollar class action suit similar to the one filed by PepsiCo against General Electric not too long ago.
Dear Friends, Please do not take this for a junk letter. Bill Gates is sharing his fortune. If you ignore this you will repent later. Microsoft and AOL are now the
largest Internet companies and in an effort to make sure that Internet Explorer remains the most widely used program,
Microsoft and AOL are running an e-mail beta test. When you forward this e-mail to friends, Microsoft can and
will track it (if you are a Microsoft Windows user) for a two week time period. For every person that you
forward this e-mail to, Microsoft will pay you $245.00, for every person that you sent it to that forwards
it on, Microsoft will pay you $243.00 and for every third person that receives it, you will be paid $241.00.
Within two weeks, Microsoft will contact you for your address and then send you a cheque.
Regards.

I thought this was a scam myself, but two weeks after receiving this e-mail
and forwarding it on, Microsoft contacted me for my address and within days,I received a
cheque for US$24,800.00. You need to respond before the beta testing is over. If anyone can afford this
Bill Gates is the man. It's all marketing expense to him. Please forward this to as many people as possible. You are
bound to get at least US$10,000.00. We're not going to help them out with their e-mail beta test without getting a little something for our time.
My brother's girlfriend got in on this a few months ago. When I went to visit him forthe Baylor/UT game. She showed me her check. It was for the
sum of $4,324.44 and was stamped "Paid In Full". Like I said before, I know the law, and this is for real.
