You've got to be kidding.
First, this is a variation of a 'Bill Gates' hoax that was
circulating some time ago. As I pointed out then, there is no way to
track email.
Second, this letter has no time period... a sure sign of a hoax.
Third, AOL wouldn't do something so stupid. This could easily end up
costing them millions.
Lastly, a check of http://HoaxBusters.ciac.org/ verifies this as a
hoax. (http://hoaxbusters.ciac.org/HBSympathy.shtml)
PLEASE do your research before propagating these sorts of things.
