Volks, sorry but it has come to my attention that there has been a hoax
passed about, according to Barbara (Stickle) Hall, a blouse tail
relitive of mine.

Subject: HOAX Re: Terminal Cancer HOAX
Practically every email circulating that offers money, warns of viruses,
or encourages you to forward it is a HOAX. This one included. They prey
on our good will and good wishes for our friends. Many are just a
nuisance, but others actually cause harm.
Certainly this one asks us to treasure life in ourselves and others. But
is also tells us to carbon copy to American Cancer Society. ACS has to
waste time from legitimate work weeding through these mailings.
Please check these out instead of forwarding. There are several
reputable internet web sites that stay current on viruses, hoaxes and
chainletters.
Try the US Dept. of Energy Computer Incident Advisory Capability:
http://ciac.llnl.gov/ciac/CIACChainLetters.html
http://ciac.llnl.gov/ciac/CIACHoaxes.html
or do a search. I'm sure even AOL or Compuserve servers would have
legitimate information on viruses and chainletters.
Thanks for your attention.....!
