Please find below the best wind up ever!. Suggest you read from the very
bottom of the mail upwards.

QUESTION : What does TGM stand for when the administrator signs off?
ANSWER : The Ginger Messiah !!!!

A certain Mr Harvey Trotman amazingly managed to acquire the e-mail address
"administratoratjunglemail [dot] net" and started a 4 month campaign of deception.

It started with this e-mail on the 20th of January which was sent to all of
our
friends that set up accounts on the same day -
all of us received it and remarked on it at the time :

Subject: Your new account
Date: 01/20/00 16:41:57

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

It has come to our attention that various people are signing up for dummy
email
addresses for the purpose of sending 'SPAM' email to other accounts.

Since the email address you selected is unconventional (i.e. not your
normal
name),
could you please confirm that you will be using this facility purely for
your
own personal emails.

If in the future we find that this account has been used for 'SPAMMing'
other
accounts, your account will be disabled and legal proceedings will be
started.

-----------------------

Then the e-mails you've all been reading for the past two weeks started -
see
attached.

None of you can claim you saw through the deception - all of you told me to
hold
on
for more cash and gave me advice about what kind of Laptop to go for!

Harvey deserves a big round of applause - for the best deception ever!

Yours in admiration,

JungleJim (still)!

P.S. Why Ginger Messiah - Harvey is Ginger and was born on Christmas eve.
