Nothing like going to check your email and having Yahoo tell you that you’ve got one new message! only to have it be a forward from an acquaintance.
Seriously, what is the point of forwarding things? Bill Gates is not going to pay me anything because I forwarded this email. Tacky graphics and huge, colorful “inspirational” quotes are not going to make my day any better. Telling me that it is “National Such-and-such Day” isn’t going to inspire me to do great things. I’m not going to sign your petition unless it’s real, and chances are, it’s not. I don’t believe in the good luck or bad luck that forwarding (or not forwarding) this email to x amount of people is going to bring me. The world will not end (or AOL will not make you pay for its messaging services) if I don’t make a wish and scroll down, and I believe in God just as much as I did before I deleted your email.
If you don’t have something interesting to say, don’t say it at all. Please, no more forwards! They just get deleted anyway. Save the e-world and place all crap in the circular file.
I am certain you are most serious on this matter, though I must say so timidly, my dear, that was quite funny to read…
ttyl with a REAL e-mail from a REAL person who does not want you to do any superstitious forwarding, mental/physical healthy, what-ever-it-is….

I don’t know if I have your email. But if you tell me what it is I’ll send you a forward.
Just kidding. I hate forwards also, and I never send the ones back that I get from people. Anyway…hope things are going good with you. ttyl.
