I am sending this note to a lot of people. If each of you send it to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300)... and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000) ... and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth generation of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers! If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will have been contacted! If it goes one level further, you guessed it... .. THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!! Again, all You have to do is send this to 10 people. That's all.(and not buy at ESSO/BP) How long would all that take? If each of us sends this email out to ten more people within one day of receipt, all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted within the next 8 days!!! Acting together we can make a difference If this makes sense to you, please pass this message on. As there's less than 70 million people in the UK, that means that each inhabitant will receive an average of 4.5 emails. If only half the UK population receives emails (probably a generous estimate) then that means each person gets 9 emails. If you target those who actually PAY for their petrol, then each person will get over 20 emails all on the same topic - enough to p*** me off in a very short time. The words 'spam mail' come readily to mind. DaveD [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
