Subject: god I made this bet that I could find 300 people who believe in God before my friend could find 300 people who do not believe in God. If you believe in God please copy & paste this onto a blank email form leaving off the headers), add your name, and send it to your friends and family.

I told this guy that I could find 300 people who believe in God > before he could find 300 people who do not believe in God. If you believe in God, please copy and paste this onto a blank e-mail form (leaving off the headers), (or as I am now doing, copying it over onto a new e-mail). Add your name, and send it to your friends and family. If you happen to be the 300th person signing this, please send it back to: Dorothy Wiser. Her e-mail address is [deleted] |
Comments: We can't be certain of the motivation of whoever started this chain letter back in 2001, but its sudden revival one-and-a-half years later in January 2003 surely qualifies as a hoax. Presumably Dorothy Wiser, whose email address was tacked onto the new version in place of "kountrygirl11," is the victim of a prank meant to flood her email account. If your friends pass this along to you, don't fall for it.
