Re: school project

Hi Gary and Liz,

Just a question :

Do you really KNOW the school (or people who work there) which
is(are) organizing this E-mail project ???

Because I got an E-mail once, with a similar request, which was just
a hoax...This hoax was set up in Russia, to get as much active E-mail
adresses as possible. Later, they were sold for direct-marketing purposes !!
You certainly know the ads that want to sell you 5,000,000 E-mail adresses
for 50$..........

If someone can tell me it's genuine, or, even better, let me know an URL
where all is explained or confirmed......THEN I can forward the message to
about
1200 people who live mostly in Europe and Asia.....(Don't ask me where I got
such
an oversized adressbook - not by paying 50$ !!...:-))

Am I too suspicious ?? Maybe, maybe not.

Some reactions, please.
