Newell Giveaway
January 2000
This chain letter claims that the Newell company wants to see if people
spread chain letters. It is not hard to tell that this is a fake.
Consider, how would you rent an e-mail tracker, especially since they do
not exist. Why would Ryan Newell of the Newell company think that his
promotion was a hoax? How can he put in his e-mail the results of what
happened after he sent the e-mail?
Subject: URGENT! RESPOND QUICKLY, SERIOUSLY
Important, The Newell Company is trying to Figure out how many people
pass along those stupid e-mails along and supposedly get money.
So heres how this one works. For the next month Our family has rented an
e-mail tracker and we are tracking this e-mail. So if you get this
e-mail and forward it we will be able to make you very happy.
For every person you send this to you will get $399, and for every
person that you sent this to who forwards this you will get $199.
Now this is not a hoax. I, Ryan Newell, thought myself that this was a
hoax but I sent it to you all and ten(10) days later I got a check for
$3990. I urge you to do the same. Good luck and don't spend your money
all in one place.
