Chain Letters ... What Do You Think Of Them?

At first, I religiously follow it but, I learn to just delete it and not even reading all of it. I just rely on my faith and cursing like these is not HIS will. I even tried to receive hand written before and in every little you have to attached pennie on it!funnny!

the chain mail usually contains interesting stuff but ends up with a threat. I never forwarded any of them. it upsets me a little. well, it's not so annoying when there's a scene coming to my mind that the origin was smilling naugtily out there. kids game.

I'm so much irritated whenever I received such kind of letters in my email. What more annoying is they came from someone you have known and freely accepted in your email such as friends, office mate, etc. For me that's the biggest disappointment of it, reading a threatening email letters from someone you trust. Me, after reading them I will just immediately delete them from my file. And as of now, nothing bad had happened to me. One more bad thing about these chain letters are they sometimes used subjects or story about God. After giving you inspirational words, then in the end you will read that you have to forward these to such numbers of person or if not something bad will happened to you. Isn't it annoying?

I think they ought to be eliminated. Absolutely. They are a nuisances.

i have never gotten one via email but i have gotten them in the mail and to be honest i just throw them away. i don't have the time, patience or interest in such things. if the person who sent it gets mad at me for breaking the chain it is not my problem. i did not ask them to send it to me in the first place.

Hello :) I'm kinda new here. Just ignore those chain letters because they are not helpful after all, what really matters is our faith in God and how we live our Christian ethics :) God bless :)

I always receive that in my mail box..... I never receive threatening chain letter directly targeting me but it more general thretening.. e.g... if those holding the letter dont passing the letter something bad will happen ... and so on... Sometimes, i got commercial chain letter for the purpose of collecting money from participant.. yes, it's look like affiliate/MLM programs.. Sometimes i got my name printed on the letter.i even dont know them.. but i am so curious where they found my name and address details... hm.. :?

They are a waste of time, entergy, paper if its done by snail mail and I can not stand getting them by email. Those send this to 12 people and your wish will come true in 3 days. I think all of it is crap and I just delete them from my email.

When i get that chained letters on the internet, sometimes i forwarded it sometimes not. it depends on my moods. it is because i believe that our life is not depend on that chain letters that we received. our life depend on us. we are only the one who can dictate our destiny.

If you do not respond to this responce, all of your hair will fall out and your teeth will turn yellow: Please forword this responce to atleast three oter friends. Thankyou and have a nice day!

I get a lot of chain mail. Two of my friends send me chain mail which they also received from their friends. Instead of emailing to say hi or to ask how I am they only send me this. I've learned long ago not to open this letters and immediately hit the delete button when I see one.

They are spam. I hate them so much that if I get an e-mail from a friend that appears to be a chain message (you can tell because they have usually been forwarded to about 20 people and the subject is spammy) then I sometimes delete it without even opening it. If I want to pass on a message from a chain letter, I will copy it out of the chain letter, format it all proper like without the million e-mail addresses of where it has been, and send it to one or two people. If each person that gets the e-mail passes it on, the amount of data grows exponentially and so reaches massive proportions of wasted bandwidth very quickly, thus slowing down the Internet. I don't care if I get murdered in my sleep by some random girl with no skin, I'm not passing on a chain message.

I just do a shift-delete when I get such messages... and I'm still alive.. An email cannot decide my destiny. HUrrayyy....

Ugh, chain letters drive me crazy. I delete them right away.

The threating ones used to bother me and I HAD to pass them on , Now I don't bother , if it is nice I pass it on and hope the other person ignores the threat , I do hope I have never upset anyone by doing this , I am a bit of a sucker for a nice email ( as you know pal ) xxxxx

Oh what a scare you must have had, specially with the DJ going on air, I’m sure you were waiting with bated breath to see if your name came up. Now regarding these mails, I really fail to understand what exactly do they achieve or what their goal is. I have received mainly two categories of such mails. One is religious bases, like maybe a pix of Jesus or Mary or some other Indian god with the same benefits and threats. These I delete promptly. However, there are some which come with social messages. I liked one specially from (supposedly) Mothers Against Drunken Driving. I never heard of them before, but from what I gathered from their attached profile, they are an organization promoting awareness against drunken driving and the attached message urged one to forward the mail and spread the awareness to as many people as possible. Well, I liked the cause so I did forward that mail. Another was from an organization with a badly burnt child’s face (and some accompanying story about Iraq and such) and the message that for every person I forward that mail to, that organization would be donating something like 1cent / 10 cent / 1$ (well I don’t exactly remember now but some amount was mentioned) to the cause of caring for more such children. I forwarded that mail too! Now I don’t know if I was not supposed to, if there were hidden viruses of something like that, but nothing bad really came off them. So basically I see the content of the letter and then decide whether to forward or delete.

I hate chain letters and emails and delete them on the spot. I don't forward them to others, and despite all manner of silly *threats* I will happily delete them. Hardly a week goes by without me finding at least one of these wretched things in my inbox and I have asked all my friends not to send them to me in the hope that it will stop.

Most of the chain letters I get I really quite like - although I am really bad for forgetting to forward them! As for the nasty ones well I don't mind if people send them to me where I can delete them - it is good not being superstitious and thinking bad things will happen if you don't forward them! xxxx

I absolutely hate them. I don't care if they are nice or not. The ones that tell you if you forward it to a certain number of people, your wish will come true just make me want to send it back 100 times to the person who sent it to me! I never forward any of them. They all go in the trash folder!

I hate to get those things and I always put them just where they belong, file 13, the waste basket. I am not particulary superstition so those that predict some dire threat go in file 13 even faster. I have even taken some of those to my postmaster generalas they are illegal for the most part.
