Don’t you just love those e-mails you get from well-meaning friends; the ones that bestow blessings and all sorts of wonderful and miraculous things upon you? They go on and on about true friendship or how God loves you, blessings to come your way and what good luck you’re going to have now and forever. How nice, you think. Well that was very thoughtful of (fill in name of friend). Then you get to the end of the e-mail. . .
‘Please forward this e-mail to 20 of your closest friends within the next 5 minutes and all your wishes will come true, you’ll find the love of your life, millions of dollars will fall in your lap and . . . as an extra bonus you will spend all eternity in heaven . If you forward this to only 10 of your closest friends, forget about the money. What, you only have 5 close friends? Nay to the money and love, and heaven doesn’t appear to be in your near future either. But . . . if you do not forward this e-mail you are going straight to hell!’
Don’t you just love it? Makes you wonder about the friends who forward these. Did they have your best interests at heart or did they just spam everyone and anyone they could think of to save their own skins, leaving us poor recipients of these e-mails desperately searching our data base for people to forward them to.
It’s taken me years to finally have gotten to the point where I can hit delete. Okay, so maybe my eyes are closed and my finger is trembling as I’m getting closer and closer to the button. So I beg you to please, please, just do me a favor and take me off your list. I don’t want to go to hell!
