I honestly thought that the friend that passed this heap o’ crap on to me was a sensible person. I was wrong.

Ok guys, this truly is freaky, the
phone literally rang as soon as I read
the last word of this email!!!!!

I am taking the bait -
what do I have to lose right?

Hope it works!

Supposedly The Phone Will Ring
Right After You Do This.

Just read the little stories and
think of a wish as you scroll all
the way to the bottom. There is
a message there - then make your
wish.

No attachment on this one.

Stories

I’m 13 years old, and I wished
that my dad would come home from
the army, because he’d been having
problems with his heart and right
leg. It was 2:53 p.m. When I made
my wish. At 3:07 p.m. (14 minutes
later), the doorbell rang, and
there my Dad was, luggage and all!!

I’m Katie and I’m 20 and I’ve been
having trouble in my job and on the
verge of quitting. I made a simple
wish that my boss would get a new
job. That was at 1:35 and at 2:55
there was an announcement that he
was promoted and was leaving for
another city. Believe me…this
really works!!!

My name is Ann and I am 45 years
of age. I had always been single
and had been hoping to get into a
nice, loving relationship for many
years. While kind of daydreaming
(and right after receiving this email)
I wished that a quality person would
finally come into my life. That was at
9:10 AM on a Tuesday. At 9:55 AM
a FedEx delivery man came into my
office.He was cute, polite and
could not stop smiling at me. He
started coming back almost everyday
(even without packages) and asked me
out a week later. We married 6
months later and now have been
happily married for 2 years.

What a great email it was!!

Just scroll down to the end, but
while you do, think of a wish.
Make your wish when you have completed
scrolling. Whatever age you are, is the
number of minutes it will take for your
wish to come true. ex.you are 25 years
old, it will take 25 minutes for your wish
to come true).

However, if you don’t send this to
people in 5 minutes, you will have bad
luck for years!!

Go for it!!!

SCROLL DOWN!!!!

STOP!!! 

Congratulations!!! Your wish will
now come true in your age minutes.

Now follow this carefully….it
can be very rewarding!!!!

If you send this to 10 more
people, other than the 5 that you
already have to send to, something
major that you’ve been wanting
will happen.

Message: This is scary!
 
The phone will ring right after
you do this!


Now, I can see at least two mistakes in the stories alone…

Wow! I got sent that one about a week ago, needless to say it went straight for the deleted items bin. Morons, and only Morons believe in these e-mails.

I usually see this in the form of a myspace bulletin (yes I have a myspace, shut up about it).  But when I do get a chainmail directed at me, I usually send it the required number of times—back to the person who sent it.

HA!  I, who normally gets calls all day long got NO PHONE CALL.  Maybe if I just read it over and over and over again, I’ll stop getting calls…..Nevermind.

LOL Like Maegan, my phone didn’t ring after reading this.  Mine rang just as I started reading it.  I think I’ve seen this posted on the old forum as well.

Ok, the mistakes, for those who care…

I’m Katie and I’m 20 and I’ve been
having trouble in my job and on the
verge of quitting. I made a simple
wish that my boss would get a new
job. That was at 1:35 and at 2:55
there was an announcement that he
was promoted and was leaving for
another city. Believe me…this
really works!!!

This makes her 80. Not 20.

(Whatever age you are, is the
number of minutes it will take for your
wish to come true.
)

My name is Ann and I am 45 years
of age. I had always been single
and had been hoping to get into a
nice, loving relationship for many
years. While kind of daydreaming
(and right after receiving this email)
I wished that a quality person would

out a week later. We married 6
months later and now have been
happily married for 2 years.

It’s two and a half years on and now she’s 45? So why did it take 45 minutes for her wish to come true in the first place?

And, most importantly, why do all these kinds of emails have to be so badly written and reliant on asterisks?

I guess some questions aren’t meant to be answered.

...I think the asterisks are meant to hypnotize you…

Subliminal messages my friends, that’s how the “bad Luck” gets you. It hypnotises you into doing bad stuff to yourself.
