Instant Messenger Hoax
June 1999
The following that Instant Messenger is going away is also a hoax.
Dear America Online and Instant Message users, Our America Online staff
is planning to take away our Instant messages by July 14,1999. If you
want to keep your Instant Messages free of charge,send this mail to
everyone you know. It will be used as a petition. Each person you send
this to, counts as one "signature." If this petition gets 100,000
"signatures," our Instant Messages will still be avaliable at no extra
charge. If America Online does not recieve 100,000 "signatures," Instant
Messages will still be avaliable, but only to those who pay an extra
15.00 dollars a month. If you do not care about not getting any future
Instant Messages, please send this for the sake of those who want to
keep thier Instant Messages free of charge. Thank you for your time and
consideration.
