Subject: URGENT! RESPOND QUICKLY, SERIOUS!!!

Important, The Newell Company is trying to figure out how many people pass along e-mails for money. So here is how this one works. For the next month our family has rented an e-mail tracker and we are tracking this e-mail. So if you get this e-mail and forward it we will be able to make you very happy. For every person you send this to you will get $399, and for every person that you sent this to who forwards this you will get $199.

Now this is not a hoax. I, Ryan Newell, thought myself that this was a hoax but I sent it to you and ten(10) days later I got a check for $3990. I urge you to do the same. Good luck and don't spend your money all in one place.
