Hi All -

        I think you all know that I don't send out hoaxes and
        don't do the reactionary thing and send out anything
        that crosses my path.  This one, however, is a friend
        of a friend and I've given it enough credibility in my
        mind that I'm writing it up and sending it out to all
        of you. My friend's friend was dating a guy from
        Afghanistan up until a month ago. She had a date with
        him around 9/6 and was stood up.  She was
        understandably upset and went to his home to find it
        completely emptied. On 9/10, she received a letter from
        her boyfriend explaining that he wished he could tell
        her why he had left and that he was sorry it had to be
        like that.  The part worth mentioning is that he BEGGED
        her not to get on any commercial airlines on 9/11 and
        to not to go any malls on Halloween.  As soon as
        everything happened on the 11th, she called the FBI and
        has since turned over the letter.

        This is not an email that I've received and decided to
        pass on.  This came from a phone conversation with a
        long-time friend of mine last night. I may be wrong,
        and I hope I am.  However, with one of his warnings
        being correct and devastating, I'm not willing to take
        the chance on the second and wanted to make sure that
        people I cared about had the same information that I
        did.

 My friend Colleen
        arrived for a facial when FBI agents were leaving
        Murad on Sunday, October 7, 2001. They were there
        to interrogate a girl who worked there to find out
        if she knew anything. The reason for their lead
        was she was best-friends with a girl who was
        dating an Arab man, who disappeared and was
        involved in the terrorist attacks on the WTC. He
        disappeared this summer and left her a note,
        saying the following in the effect of: "I have to
        go away and will not be able to see you again.
        Please do me a favor and do not fly in any planes
        on September 11, 2001 nor shop at any shopping
        malls on October 31, 2001 ......... "

        Don't know about you but I live across the street
        from a shopping mall, and my in-laws do too. Given
        my daughter is usually at their house on a
        Wednesday afternoon, right near the mall, am
        thinking of where else to go.

        Halloween may not be so Happy.

        Please send this to anyone that you know. Let's
        hope this isn't for real, but since it was
        actually left in a letter to a loved one from one
        of the people involved in the attacks of September
        11, 2001, I am not taking it too lightly.
