Email text contributed by "kaseydia," 10/31/01:

OK everyone, you all know me by now and can judge my character by my emails. I have something so disturbing to tell you that I can barely type. My daughter went to pick up my granddaughter at school and while waiting for her she was chattin with another Mother about going out trick or treating. The women then proceeded to tell Tami this story.

She lives in Hollywood and went to a 711 store and there were two (2 ) Arabs there and one (1) of them were . 70 cents short. She turns and gives him the . 70 cents. He follows her out to the store and proceeds to tell her the following, " OK now that you did me a favor I'm going to do you a favor, just don't come to this 711 on Halloween night, " Thanked her and went back onto store. She somehow got his license number and call the cops. Well, guess what he was on the top 10 most wanted list. Now if just anyone would be telling me this story I wouldn't be so shook but since it's coming from my daughter you know I believe her. I have not checked this out with our local police because it just happened this morning. well, you make of it what you want but I damn well have to believe it and feel the obligation to tell the whole world. Please email this to everyone on your buddy list. GOD knows what they have planned for us & we do know they are here in this country. Maybe they are going to blow up all the 711 stores. Who knows? GOD BLESS US ALL
