Before posting anything like this you should check out the story at some of 
the 'urban legends' websites that are available online. I prefer 
www.snopes.com for my verifications but there are other options. If you read 
this link, http://www.snopes.com/politics/business/cell411.asp , you'll see 
that what you are circulating is another urban legend that has been 
circulating for a few years. This is just another form of a non-virulent 
computer virus that just takes up bandwidth on Al Gore's World-Wide-Web 
(grin). How is this like a virus? By following the instructions of the 
original creator and forwarding this to everyone that you know or have 
contact with, you have just replicated a fabricated story hundreds of times 
and asked everyone that received it to do the same. It's exponentially 
explosive reproduction. This email has the POTENTIAL to be in hundreds of 
thousands of email boxes in 24 hours. Your thoughtful intentions, though 
misguided, are appreciated by most of us.
