Went to the Veuve cellars on hols this year and they most definitely don't resort to this sort of thing (they weren't at all happy about when asked) and there's also a disclaimer on their website too

This is what I send to anyone daft enough to think any of these are true - SIAL, I know:

Hello, my name is Basmati Kasaar. I am suffering from rare and deadly
diseases, poor scores on final exams, extreme virginity, fear of
being kidnapped and executed by **** electrocution, and guilt for
not forwarding out 50 billion fecking chain letters sent to me by
people who actually believe that if you send them on, then that poor
6 year old girl in Arkansas with a breast on her forehead will be
able to raise enough money to have it removed before her redneck
parents sell her off to the travelling freak show. Do you honestly
believe that Bill Gates is going to give you and everyone you send
"his" email to $1000? How stupid are you?
Ooooh, lookyhere! If I scroll down this page and make a wish, I'll
get laid by every Playboy model in the magazine! What a bunch of
bull****. So basically, this message is a big **** YOU to all the
people out there who have nothing better to do than to send me stupid
chain mail forwards. Maybe the evil chain letter leprechauns will
come into my apartment and sodomize me in my sleep for not continuing
the chain which was started by Jesus in 5 A.D. and was brought to
this country by midget pilgrims on the Mayflower and if it makes it
to the year 2000, it'll be in the Guinness Book of World Records for
longest continuous streak of blatant stupidity.
**** them.

If you're going to forward something, at least send me something
mildly amusing. I've seen all the "send this to 50 of your closest
friends, and this poor, wretched excuse for a human being will
somehow receive a nickel from some omniscient being" forwards about
90 times.

I don't fecking care.

Show a little intelligence and think about what you're actually
contributing to by sending out forwards. Chances are it's your own
unpopularity.


THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF CHAIN LETTERS:
Chain Letter Type 1:

(scroll down)












Make a wish!!!










No, really, go on and make one!!!











Oh please, they'll never go out with you!!!











Wish something else!!!











Not that, you pervert!!











Is your finger getting tired yet?










STOP!!!!


Wasn't that fun?
Hope you made a great wish
Now, to make you feel guilty, here's what I'll do. First of all, if
you don't send this to 5096 people in the next 5 seconds, you will be
raped by a mad goat and thrown off a high building into a pile of
manure. It's true! Because, THIS letter isn't like all of those fake
ines, THIS one is TRUE!!

Really!!! Here's how it goes:

*Send this to 1 person: One person will be pissed off at you
forsending them a stupid chain letter. (Patrick)

*Send this to 2-5 people: 2-5 people will be pissed off at you for
sending them a stupid chain letter.

*Send this to 5-10 people: 5-10 people will be pissed off at you
for sending them a stupid chain letter, and may form a plot on your
life.

*Send this to 10-20 people: 10-20 people will be pissed off at yofor
sending them a stupid chain letter and will napalm your house.

> Thanks!!!! Good Luck!!!

Chain Letter Type 2

Hello, and thank you for reading this letter. You see, there is a

starving little boy in Baklaliviatatlaglooshen who has no arms, no
legs,no parents, and no goats. This little boy's life could be
saved, because for every time you pass this on, a dollar will be
donated to theLittle Starving Legless Armless Goatless Boy from
Baklaliviatatlaglooshen Fund. Oh, and remember, we have absolutley
no way of counting the emails sent and this is all a complete load of
bull****. So go on, reach out. Send this to 5 people in the next 47
seconds. Oh, and a reminder - if you accidentally send this to 4 or
6 people, you will die instantly.

> Thanks again!!

> -------------------------------------------------------
Chain Letter Type 3:
As if you care, here is a poem that I wrote. Send it to every one
ofyourfriends.

Friends
A friend is someone who is always at your side, A friend is someone
who likes you even though you stink of ****, and your breath smells
like you've been eating catfood, A friend is someone who likes you
even though you're as ugly as a hat fullof arseholes, A friend is
someone who cleans up for you after you've soile yourself, A friend
is someone who stays with you all night while you cry about your sad,
sad life, A friend is someone who pretends they like you when they
really think you should be raped by mad goats, then thrown to
vicious dogs, A friend is someone who scrubs your toilet, vacuums and
then gets the cheque and leaves and doesn't speak much English...
-no, sorry that's the cleaning lady,

A friend is not someone who sends you chain letters because he wants
his wish of being rich to come true.

Now pass this on! If you don't, you'll never have sex ever again.
-----------------------------------------------------------

The point being?

If you get some chain letter that's threatening to leave you shagless
or luckless for the rest of your life, delete it. If it's funny, send
it on.

Don't **** people off by making them feel guilty about a leper in
Botswana with no teeth, who's been tied to a dead elephant for 27
years, whose only saviour is the 5 cents per letter he'll receive if
you forward this mail, otherwise you'll end up like Miranda.
Right?

Now forward this to everyone you know otherwise you'll find all your
knickers missing tomorrow morning.
