For your future reference, if you receive anything that contains
words dealing with "emergency action required", "pass this on to 'xx'
number of people", or "if you fail to pass this on...." along with other
phrases of similar nature, consider it a hoax and ignore the message or
visit one of the below listed sites for on-line information reguarding
virus hoaxes and confirmed viruses. If you are still in doubt, contact
me and I will give you more sites to
visit!!!
