 There is an extremely horrible, deadly new virus that
surfaced last night in Singapore.  U.S. Officials say that it
could hit the U.S. within 2 weeks.  An email message titled
"this is your last warning..." is infected with the most virulent
and terrifying computer virus to date.  DO NOT OPEN IT!!
If you open this message, it will not only format your hard drive
but physically destroy your computer.  YOUR COMPUTER
WILL BE RUINED BEYOND REPAIR if you open this message.
The virus is able to activate a soft switch (a soft switch is a switch that
is controlled by software- similar to when people shut down their computer
using Windows and the power physically turns off even though they never
pressed the power off button).
Anyway, according to IBM and Microsoft officials in last nights press
release, this virus activates a soft switch on your motherboard that
controls power to your CPU.  It will cause a tremendous power surge that
will literally cause your CPU to burn (or explode).  Your computer will
literally burn up from the inside.  And not just that, but this virus is so
horrible, it could cause a CASCADING INVERSE POWER FLUCTUATION, by sending
an electrical signal from your computer and into your primary transistors
(that control power into your home), which could literally cause several
circuts in your home to burst into flames!  Your appliances, tv's, radios-
anything and everything plugged into your wall outlets COULD LITERALLY
EXPLODE!  This could cause a catostrophic fire that could burn your house to
the ground.  You could lose your home, your car, your spouse, even your
children-  ALL FROM OPENING THE EMAIL MESSAGE TITLED "this is your last
warning..."

PLEASE, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU OPEN IT!

You ***M U S T*** send this email to EVERYONE you know.  You must send it
everywhere on the internet.  And not just to people you know, but send it to
people you dont know.  Officials said that the virus could hit the U.S. by
next week.  Therefore we must work EXTRA HARD to send out this message to
everyone in the U.S. by next thursday.  200 Million people need to see this
message by next week.   If you ever needed to do something for humanity- to
make a difference in the world, this is it.
