Exclamation Watch Out - Sick B******S About...

Have received this. I have been advised that it's genuine...


QUOTE
Could you please cascade as quickly as possible as this came
through our NHS web page.

For your information, a couple of weeks ago, in the odeon cinema,
FestivalPark, a person sat on something sharp in one of the seats. When
she stood up to see what it was, a needle was found poking through the
seat with an attached note saying, "you have been infected with HIV".

The Centres for Disease Control in Birmingham, reports similar
events have taken place in several other cities recently.

ALL of the needles tested HAVE been found positive for HIV. The
CDC also reports that needles have been found in the coin return areas
of pay phones and coke machines. Everyone is asked to use extreme
caution when confronted with these types of situations. All public
chairs should be thoroughly but safely inspected prior to any use. A
thorough visual inspection is considered the bare minimum. Further more,
they ask that everyone notify their familymembers and
friends of the potential dangers, as well.

The previous information was sent from hanley police station to
all of the local councils in the Staffs area and was interdepartmentally
dispersed.

It is a fake, i work for a government agency and we had it going round. The centre of disease doesnt exist as that is an American agency. We had an email after from the Government saying that it is a fake.

CDC is am American Agency, based in Ft Meade, Maryland. Have had a couple of dealings with them this year. There is no such thing in the UK. This would normally be dealt with by standard health agencies.
