Send This To 5 Friends

Everyday I get a dozen or so emails. A bunch of them are just junk. Advertisements and "you have a chance to win a free vacation" notices. A few are jokes and quick messages from friends...and then there is the inevitable chain letter.

You know what I'm talking about. The emails that go on and on about something or other and then at the bottom they say something like "send this to 5 friends in the next 5 minutes or you will have 5 years of bad luck". Some say something fantastic will happen if you pass them on and some say something bad will happen.

According to the one I got a couple of weeks ago I should be dead by now and I should have the worst luck ever, and a leprechaun isn't going to visit me and grant my wishes and I will be ugly, and poor, and I won't know my true friends. I'm pretty sure I'm still OK. I don't think by not passing on an email chain letter I am playing Russian roulette with my life/luck.

Who starts these letters? Who actually sits down and writes this crap and then sends it to their friends expecting them to pass it on. I usually only pass these on to the people that flood my inbox with them. Ha ha sucker, you pass it on or deal with the bad luck.
