Dear All

I would be interested in any comments about the following ethical problem.

Recently I was contacted by an acquaintance who sent me the following email.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Hi

I would be grateful if you could forward an email to your colleague's users
about a number of telephony and Internet access packages I am involved in
offering to BT users.  The Broadband Offerings start at £15.99, which I
believe is amongst the cheapest around.  Tiscali that I know you have good
experiences of supplies the packages.  They would all save your users money
and some of them are free.  If you want to you could join up as an associate
and make money as well.  The users can find out more info by visiting
www.telco-store.com 

Thanks for your assistance.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.

My question to you is whether if I were to send out a mail to my colleagues
would you consider this Spam.  I do believe that this is a good offering
from a reputable company which would save my users money but it could fall
under the category of unsolicited email. However  so is a global email to my
users warning them of Spam from Nigeria for example or warning them that
somebody has left their car headlights on in the works carpark !! Do you
consider this different to producing a paper notice about this offering and
sticking it on the works notice board.

I welcome your comments
