The Microsoft/AOL Merger Hoax

          Subject:	AOL and Microsoft Merger....

          I am forwarding this because the person who sent it
        to me is a good friend and does not send me junk.
        Microsoft and AOL are now the largest Internet
        company and in an effort 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
        check. I thought this was a scam myself, but two
        weeks after receiving this e-mail and forwarding it
        on, Microsoft contacted me for my e-mail and within
        days, I received a check for $24800.00. Name of an
        individual listed here FCG Inc. Wayne PA 610 225 xxxx
