THIS IS FROM A RELIABLE SOURCE WITH AUTHORITY. Important information!!!!!!!! I just found out some information today about e-mail that is very important. During the entire month of April, all computers are going to be monitored by an outside agency, including e-mail. So if you are getting e-mail from off island tell your friends not to send you any mail during April. Also jokes and non government stuff that we send to each other, do not send during April. This information came from a reliable source, so beware. Please delete this after you read it, and also delete it from the wastebasket, and purge it from the computer. |

Subject: FW: Pass this along!
I've spoken to a reliable source, how reliable you may ask? Well she's on the committee that will be conducting a survey for the United States Government on April 2. People think it's a hoax because it's the day after "April Fools Day" but it isn't. On April 2nd the Government will be tracking all emails to and from "Government employee's" inboxes to see just how much of "Uncle Sam's time" is spent on email and not working. So please if on no other day, if you're a government employee limit your email to work-related emails. If you have a friend, family member etc.. don't send them any emails on this day. More tracking days could follow but as of right now, April 2nd is the only day scheduled as of now. |
