Email From a Frustrated Victim

Do you get useless emails that ask you to forward stuff to 200 different people so that God will  give you grace, a promotion or you will win a lottery? Are you frustrated of those emails and feel like you are a victim of mental harassment? Do you cry or pull your hair every time you see an email asking you to forward the email to 20 other people?

Here’s what you should do: Use the email from below and send them the material or link of this page.

Here is the email from a Victim frustrated of chain emails:

I wanted to thank all my friends and family who have forwarded chain letters to me... Because of your kindness:

  • I also donated all my savings to the Amy Bruce account. A sick girl that was about to die in the hospital about 7,000 times. (Poor girl! she's been 7 since 1993...)
  • I went bankrupt from bounced checks that I made expecting the $15,000 that Microsoft and AOL were supposed to send me when I participated in their special e-mail program would arrive soon.
  • My free Nokia phone never arrived and neither did the free passes for a paid vacation to Disneyland.
  • I also stopped answering the phone for fear that they may ask me to dial a stupid number and then I get phone bill from hell with calls to Uganda, Singapore and Tokyo.
  • Made some Hundred wishes before forwarding those Ganesh Vandana, Tirupathi Balaji pics etc.. now most of those 'Wishes' are already married (to someone else)
  • I stopped drinking Coca Cola after I found out that it's good for removing toilet stains.
  • I stopped going to the movies for fear of sitting on a needle infected with AIDS.
  • I smell like a wet dog since I stopped using deodorants because they cause cancer.
  • I don't leave my car in the parking lot or any other place and sometimes I even have to walk about 7 blocks for fear that someone will drug me with a perfume sample and try to rob me.
  • I also stopped drinking anything out of a can for fear that I will get sick from the rat feces and urine.
  • When I go to parties, I don't look at any girl, no matter how hot she is, for fear that she will take me to a hotel, drug me then take my kidneys and leave me taking a nap in a bathtub full of ice.
  • Still open to help some from Bulgaria who wants to use my account to transfer his uncle property of some hundred millions $.


IMPORTANT NOTE:
If you do not send this e-mail to at least 1246 people in the next 10
seconds, a bird will SH** on your head today at any time

Thanks and Regards,
A Frustrated Victim

So the next time you get another email asking to forward the email to 20 friends of yours. Just send them a link of this post or send them the letter yourself.

Top 5 Email Hoaxes of All Time

Get free laptop from Sony for forwarding this email to 20 people. Earn $250 by forwarding this email to 20 people because Microsoft will send you a check to your banking account. Hey get the blessing, get a promotion and win 20 billion in lottery by forwarding this email. Are you kidding me? Do you believe all this crap? Absolute nonsense. In fact, I see this as an extreme insult of human intelligence, both who started it and those who are propagating it… Do you really think people are so foolish? (Update: Apparently yes! Because every now and then I get forwarded email with exactly one of these 5 email hoaxes)

This post has top 5 email hoaxes of all times. Read them and let me know what I missed.

The Top 5 Hoaxes -

  1. Get the Blessing by Forwarding an Email – I am sure you have received at least three email in your life time about “send the email or bad things will happen to you.” Sorry folks! That just doesn’t digest. If God was distributing the blessing to those forwarding emails, I guess rich people would be sitting on email 24x7.  Sorry doesn’t work.
  2. Sick Kid Needs Your Help – This is one of those emails that claims there is a sick child and every time you forward the email some charity is going to donate 5 cents or 10 cents to the kid. Hello?? There needs to be a email tracking mechanism that can track ALL emails forwarded by everyone on the list. Unfortunately, that doesn’t exist.
  3. Bill Gates Giving Away Money – Amazingly foolish. Wonder how people can even believe something like this? Why would Bill Gates send random people money to those people who are forwarding emails? Sorry if you know even how to spell marketing, you would know that this is a pathetically poor business plan. Learn more about this email hoax.
  4. Free Laptop from Fujitsu – Similar to the above hoax, this one says you need to forward email and win a laptop from Fujitsu or some company. What the heck?
  5. Nigerian Uncle sending You money – Ever got an email from your Nigerian Uncle (or British, American, Bulgarian… any uncle for that matter) who left you a property of $ 200 million and you didn’t know about? They would ask you your bank account number for transferring $ 100 million and you can keep a commission of $20 million. Well, I know they teach us not to talk to strangers but they don’t teach us not to give your bank account to strangers. This hoax probably is based on the fact that since they don’t teach people to not to give bank account to strangers, people will.

The next time you get an email from, send them the letter from a frustrated victim of chain letters, and educate them by sending them information – either send them information available online or simply attach the link to this post.

Bye bye Miss American Pie


This song has one of the most amazing, mysterious and debatable lyrics. Follow the lyrics with the song and you will know... These lyrics do raise a lot of questions... Follow them and you will know.


A long, long time ago...
I can still remember
How that music used to make me smile.
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And, maybe, they’d be happy for a while.


But february made me shiver
With every paper I’d deliver.
Bad news on the doorstep;
couldn’t take one more step.

I can’t remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride,
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died.

So bye-bye, miss american pie.
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
And them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
Singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die.
"this’ll be the day that I die."

Did you write the book of love,
And do you have faith in God above,
If the Bible tells you so?
Do you believe in rock ’n roll,
Can music save your mortal soul,
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?

Well, I know that you’re in love with him
`cause I saw you dancin’ in the gym.
You both kicked off your shoes.
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues.

I was a lonely teenage broncin’ buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck,
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died.

I started singin’,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
And singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die.
"this’ll be the day that I die."

Now for ten years we’ve been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rollin’ stone,
But that’s not how it used to be.
When the jester sang for the king and queen,
In a coat he borrowed from james dean
And a voice that came from you and me,

Oh, and while the king was looking down,
The jester stole his thorny crown.
The courtroom was adjourned;
No verdict was returned.
And while lennon read a book of marx,
The quartet practiced in the park,
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died.

We were singing,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
And singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die.
"this’ll be the day that I die."

Helter skelter in a summer swelter.
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter,
Eight miles high and falling fast.
It landed foul on the grass.
The players tried for a forward pass,
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast.

Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While the sergeants played a marching tune.
We all got up to dance,
Oh, but we never got the chance!
`cause the players tried to take the field;
The marching band refused to yield.
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died?

We started singing,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
And singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die.
"this’ll be the day that I die."

Oh, and there we were all in one place,
A generation lost in space
With no time left to start again.
So come on: jack be nimble, jack be quick!
Jack flash sat on a candlestick
Cause fire is the devil’s only friend.

Oh, and as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage.
No angel born in hell
Could break that satan’s spell.
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite,
I saw satan laughing with delight
The day the music died

He was singing,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
And singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die.
"this’ll be the day that I die."

I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news,
But she just smiled and turned away.
I went down to the sacred store
Where I’d heard the music years before,
But the man there said the music wouldn’t play.

And in the streets: the children screamed,
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed.
But not a word was spoken;
The church bells all were broken.
And the three men I admire most:
The father, son, and the holy ghost,
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died.

And they were singing,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
And them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
Singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die.
"this’ll be the day that I die."

They were singing,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
Singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die."

This was the most popular song by Don McLean and one of the most discussed song. 
The lyrics in itself are amazing... And the debate is still on. Who did he write this song for? Who is Miss American Pie?

A Little Difference for you...

This post comes after a long time... Heard this story somewhere...

A man was walking down the beach at sunset. As, he walked along, he saw another man in the distance. He noticed this man kept leaning down, picking up something and throwing it out into the water, again and again. As, he approached even closer, he noticed that the man was picking up starfish that had been washed up on the beach. He was throwing them back into the water, one by one.

Puzzled, he approached the man and said, "Good Evening. I was wondering what you are doing."

"I'm throwing these starfish back into the ocean. You see, it's low tide and all these starfish have been washed up onto the shore. If, I don't throw them back into the ocean, they'll die up here from lack of oxygen."

"But, there must be thousands of starfish on this beach. You can't possible get to all of them. And, don't you realize this is probably happening on hundreds of beaches all up and down this coast. Can't you see that you can't possibly make a difference?"

The man bent down and picked up yet another starfish, and threw it back into the ocean. With a smile he replied, "Made a difference to that one !!!"

Just remember, no matter how small the deed
it really does make a difference.
Make a difference today.
Do something nice for someone else.
