Did you received spam and scam mail titled UK Requirement recently or for the past 4 years? It all about Bill Gates and Microsoft
Below is the email content:
Subject: UK Requirement
Dear Friends,
Pl ease do not take this for a junk letter. Bill Gates is sharing his fortune. If you ignore this you will repent later. Microsoft and AOL are now the largest Internet companies and in an effort to make sure that Internet Explorer remains the most widely used program, Microsoft and AOL are running an e-mail beta test.When you forward this e-mail to friends, Microsoft can and will track it (if you are a Microsoft Windows user) for a two week time period.
For every person that you forward this e-mail to, Microsoft will pay you $245.00, for every person that you sent it to that forwards it on, Microsoft will pay you $243.00 and for every third person that receives it, you will be paid $241.00. Within two week! s, Microsoft will contact you for your address and then send you a cheque.
A lot of people responded that they received a cheque worth few thousand USD. Sounds like a scam mail? Are you sure that Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation encouraged spamming?

I don’t really know, but if it is about sharing and giving away some money, why don’t we just try. We all need was money right? I don’t believe the saying that “money is not that always count” or “money is not everything”. For me and most people on this planet, money is legitimately everything. No money, no values. Simple as that.
