Phrases of Encouragement and/or Warning Used by People Who Want Me to Forward Their Email Messages to Other Uninterested Parties

Quinn Warnick

• Good afternoon all! Here's another one of those "is it or isn't it" e-mails!! Once again, this could be considered an urban legend. There is no signature at the bottom. I send these on because there is a small chance they might be true. I wonder why anyone would want to alarm people with stories such as these if they are not true? Anyway, all we've lost is a few minutes of our time.

• Someone sent this to me. So I'm passing it along.

• BE CAREFUL. GENTELMEN PASS THIS ALONG TO YOUR WIVES AND SISTERS AND FRIENDS.

• It got me "misty-eyed!"

• Please send this message to those people who mean something to you, to those who have touched your life in one way or another, to those who make you smile when you really need it, to those that make you see the brighter side of things when you are really down, to those who you want to let them know that you appreciate their friendship. And if you don't, don't worry, nothing bad will happen to you, you will just miss out on the opportunity to brighten someone's day with this message.

• THIS IS NOT A PRANK E-MAIL. PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND TELL THEM TO BEWARE. THIS IS TRUE!!

• I have a feeling this is another one of those urban-legend things. It doesn't hurt to send it on, I guess, but I tried to find out if it is true. No luck so far.

• Don't know if I sent this, but it's good for a laugh a second time around!

• PLEASE HELP US BY MAINTAINING A VIGILANCE AND BY FORWARDING THIS EMAIL TO ANYONE YOU KNOW WHO DRIVES.

• I'm sorry if you've already received this fifty times, but this is the first I've seen of this and it cracked me up. Please forward this to the same people you did last time.

• if u delete this u dont have a heart

• A billionaire in California has promised to give $.05 for every time this email is forwarded. If you wouldn't mind forwarding this to everyone on your list I would greatly appreciate it as well as my daughter and little Jada. This could save a life. Please have a heart and forward this.

• Remember: What goes around comes around.
