My inbox is always overflowing with chain e-mails, most of which are complete hoaxes. I think it is very mean for someone to create such a hoax, but it’s done. I will now attempt to get it through to your brains what can be classified as an e-mail hoax.
THESE ARE ALWAYS HOAXES:
THESE ARE USUALLY HOAXES:
WHY ARE ALL OF THESE HOAXES???
a) A simple e-mail can’t cant perform a computer trick
b) E-mails can’t be tracked.....no $$ to charities or you!
c) If you want to know about a virus, go to an expert’s website!
Symantec is a great source for virus information! To go there, click here!
Another one of Symantec’s sites will teach you about current e-mail hoaxes regarding viruses only. To go there, click here!
BELOW ARE SOME E-MAIL HOAXES THAT I HAVE RECEIVED. I HAVE NOT INCLUDED VIRUS HOAXES BECAUSE YOU CAN GO TO SYMANTEC’S SITE. REMEMBER, IF YOU GET AN E-MAIL HOAX, DON’T PASS IT ON!!!!!!!!

*Near to the door*
*he paused to stand*
*as he took his class ring*
*off her hand*
*all who were watching*
*did not speak*
*as a silent tear*
*ran down his cheek*
*and through his mind*
*the memories ran*
*of the moments they walked*
*and ran in the sand hand and hand*
*but now her eyes were so terribly cold*
*for he would never again*
*have her to hold*
*they watched in silence*
*as he bent near*
*and whispered the words..*....
*"I LOVE YOU" in her ear*
*he touched her face and started to cry*
*as he put on his ring and wanted to die*
*and just then the wind began to blow*
*as they lowered her casket*
*into the snow....*
*this is what happens*
*to man alive.....*
*when friends let friends....*
*drink and drive.*

This poem was written by a terminally ill young girl in a New York
Hospital.
It was sent by a medical doctor - Dr. Yeou Cheng Ma.
Make sure to read what is in the closing statement AFTER THE POEM.
SLOW DANCE
Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask "How are you?"
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say "Hi"?
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.
PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO HELP THIS LITTLE GIRL. ALL FORWARDED
E-MAILS
ARE TRACKED TO OBTAIN THE TOTAL COUNT.
Dear All:
PLEASE pass this mail on to everybody you know.
It is the request of a special little girl who will soon leave this
world
as she has cancer.
Thank you for your effort, this isn't a chain letter, but a choice
for
all of us to save a little girl that's dying of a serious and
fatal
form of cancer.
Please send this to everyone you know... or don't know. This little
girl
has 6 months left to live, and as her dying wish, she wanted to
send
a
letter telling everyone to live their life to the fullest, since
she
never
will. She'll never make it to prom, graduate from high school, or
get
married and have a family of her own.
By you sending this to as many people as possible, you can give her
and her family a little hope, because with every name that this is
sent
to, The American Cancer Society will donate 3 cents per name to her
treatment and recovery plan.
One guy sent this to 500 people!!!!
So I know that we can send it to at least 5 or 6.
Just think it could be you one day.
It's not even your money, just your time!!!
"PLEASE PASS ON AS A LAST REQUEST"
