Was that a serious question :?  Just read the text and see how bad the English and spelling is! Plus, they would NEVER ask you to send emails to anyone else :roll:

If you've still got it, or get anything like this again, either delete it or forward the whole email, not just the contents, it to MSN.

I've forwarded hoax emails to eBay & PayPal in the past, they take the details and get the site that the hoaxers are using shut down!!  :twisted:

How sad a life to you have to have to send such utter rubbish? What is the point to it. The people sending this rubbish can't see the effect it has so what possible enjoyment do they get out of it.

The reason they do it is to obtain your account details, not so bad on the likes of MSN if you don't mine someone else reading your emails and using your email address.
For the likes of eBay & PayPal they can then gain access to your bank and credit card details!!!  :evil:

So for them, it worth it!!  :?
