It's a Hoax!
This letter is being emailed throughout the Internet:
Often you will find dishonest people trying to take advantage of others. It is the cheapest way of benefiting from the ignorance of others. I hate when people try to use the Internet to steal from each other. I wish that these creative types would put their mind and time into actually providing a beneficial service to people instead of trying to take advantage of an unknowing person.

Microsoft and AOL are now the largest Internet company and in an effort 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 weeks, Microsoft will contact you for your address and then send you a check. I thought this was a scam myself, but two weeks after receiving this e-mail and forwarding it on, Microsoft contacted me for my e-mail and within days, I received a check for $24,800.00. You need to respond before the beta testing is over. If anyone can afford this Bill Gates is the man. ! It's all marketing expense to him.
Do Well!!!
