Email Forwards—Use Your Brains!

hi all,


i have been receiving emails from many people with requests to forward the email, so that some other person who is in trouble will be given financial assistance. some even carry the heading saying "if you don't forward, you don't have a heart."

actually 99% of these emails are hoaxes created by some nerd out there as they have got nothing else to do in their life but compose these stupid emails. it is so pathetic that these people publish pictures of innocent children/adults who undergo surgery or children/adults with abnormal physical conditions.

it is very rude and unethical for some one to publish these as they go around the world and everyone gets to know of this even if it is personal. there may be really genuine requests among these. so i think the best way is to get such email circulated within "friends & family" as they can be trusted to a certain extent. some emails that i receive were many years old. and still they keep circulating.

those of you who create these emails, think if you were in that condition or if your parent/sibling/child was in that condition, would you like their pictures being circulated around the world for no reason?

please don't do this. and don't forward such emails that you receive. give an end to it. no one will pay some person in need for forwarding emails. and even if some one does, it is really bad and unethical marketing. you should not use one's sorrow for your benefit.

please give your comments on this, and help to put and end to this chain emails.


cheers,
