Subject: Fw: Read before u view the picture - Believe it not

The guy in the photo went to the Sundarbans with his friends and he asked 1 of his friends to take his picture in that very place. While his friend was taking the picture he screamed and fainted, 2 days later he died in the medical college. Doctors said he died because of heart attack.

When the photos were exposed, in the last photo there was a lady standing right beside him though friends claim that he was standing alone.

Many people said it is a rumor and the picture is the result of the blessings of latest technology. However, the photo itself is very scary and I'm sure you'll also feel the same way I've felt. Here you go with the photo!!!

A navy officer sent this letter to 13 people and he was promoted..

A business man received this letter and threw it away..not believing in it.. and he lost everything he had within 13 days..

It reached a labourer and he distributed it to 13 people.. he was promoted and all his problems were solved within 13 days..

So you must send this e mail to 13 people for something good to happen to you so people..get sending !! :) don't be lazy..

P/S : Do not send back to the person who send this to you!!!

Fw: : Creepy.....Read b4 looking at photo YOU'LL LOVE IT

READ BEFORE OPENING THE PHOTO...

The young man in this photo visited a historic site in Georgia called Fort Mountain with his friends and he asked them to take his photo while hiking. While his friend took the photo, he screamed and fainted. Then 2 days later he >died in the hospital. The doctors said he died from a heart attack.

When the photos where developed, in the last photo there was a woman standing next to the young man, even though his friends said there was no one with him when the photo was taken. Many people know of this rumor and the last photo is the result of the blessings of technology. People say its the ghost of Cherokee Chief Ross's wife Madam Firecrochet.

Still, the photo is very mysterious and I am sure that when you see it you will feel the same as me. Here is the photo! A Naval Officer sent it to 13 people and he was promoted within 13 days.

A businessperson was sent this, he erased it, and with in 13 days he lost everything.

A laborer received this and sent it to 13 people and within days he was promoted and all his problems were solved. So send this to 13 people and good things will come your way.
