Interesting that as far from Qatar as the West coast of the USA, I too received this wonderfully poorly written e-mail. A Google search found reference to it only at this website. Must be a small world! I have always wondered what would happen if one responded with real information but I have never had the courage to do so.
and what could those tricks be.
one should share all the tricks or else they will remain burried forever with the one who knows them.....
they will do what ever you ask them anything just say it :D

[img_assist|nid=21285|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]
u replying or forwarding it.
By doing so their s/w registers ur mail id being a real one.
simply delete it.
If at all u want to forward it to ur contacts. do a copy paste and send a different mail.
