我以为我是个好人

… … A simple forward this mail to others will be a meritorious deed, and it doesn ' t waste much of your time.
Thank you for doing that in advance. Please act as soon as possible.
Chen Siew Cheng : Tel : (02)23708099, Fax : (02)25507098. Please forward to the person who has AB blood type of bone marrow and hope everybody will forward the mail to your friends so that they can have the opportunity to find the ' right person ' to help.
The success rate maybe very slim, that ' s why we used the e-mail method hope to find the right person. It may not be the smart method, but to us, this is final chance.
To the family member of the leukaemia (blood cancer) patient, every second count. We anxiously need a AB blood type of person to donate his/her bone marrow, and although it only have very little chance to match, but we still have hope for it. Because of your loving kindness to pass the mail along, she may stand a chance to recover.
So, please put a little effort, the little girl may have chance to live because of you.
Thank you very much and a thousand words cannot express our appreciation.

看了这Email,我可以做的不止是forwarding,还有offer to test if my bone marrow is a match. My first thought was to call the no. above。 But I called up friends for advice instead.

Eventually I called the no. above only to find out it is invalid. Maybe my colleague is right, the photos in the email could be real but the email is a spam to create massive traffic to the servers.

我就是覺得這一類chain mail的可信度很低, 所以我通常都是delete掉的, 你可以說我冷血, 不過我不想自己做了好人後才發現被騙..
