chain letter, bin it or send it?

I've never gotten a chain letter but I would definitely put it in the bin because it's silly.

Chain letters can't harm you, humans are... Whenever I receive those letters, I ignore it and put it straight to the bin... Don't worry about those crazy stuffs. Just believe and strengthen your faith to God instead... ^_^

I have usually binned them, especially if they were conventional mail before the era of email. I was once quite tempted by one of those 'send a small amount to each of these five addresses, remove the top one, add your own at the bottom and send to 200 people' mails. I never actually acted on it but I did get as far as printing off 200 letters (after-hours on my employer's laser printer). I actually found the box of paper just the other day and threw them out! There is a far more sinister purpose, however, behind what you describe, now that we get them in our Inbox. All of this kind of mail is designed so that we propagate it without stopping to think and, in the process, adding all the addresses that we send it to at the top of the mail when we hit 'Forward'. Eventually, the mail ends up in the Inbox of someone who makes a living (or at least quite a reasonable income) from selling email addresses to spammers. Sometime, take a look at one of these chain email letters. You will probably find a hundred or so email addresses in it, nearly all of which are valid and real addresses of real people. Yours, of course, will be among them and will be contained in the other 9, 14 or whatever copies have been sent out by the 'friend' who sent it to you. It is very unlikely that you can avoid receiving spam because your address has already found its way into messages that are already winging their way around the Internet! If you follow the instructions in the letter, you are selling your friends' personal information; if you just bin it (as you should), you still have the nasty feeling that the 'friend' who sent it to you has just sold YOUR personal information down the line. What you choose to do about that is up to you.

When I receive bin letter, I will just bin it because I am not interested in sending it around. Especially when it is written that if you don't forward it, you will have bad luck. I always won't believe such kind of words. It is already against the purpose of chain letters. It is up to person to forward it or not, it shouldn't by a force or threat. I love China

If I got the chain letter I would just throw it away. I don't believe in superstition.

I do always receive chain letters. I always ignore it because certainly, I do not believe on those kind of things. You don't have to worry much. Your mother is right. You are a true friend because you do not let your friends receive those kind of things. If it is for the better, or let's say a prayer, send it to all the people you know. But if it is kinda scary, better not to send it and threw it away. Happy mylotting!

Everyone I ever got went to file 13, the garbage. I use to get them now and then through the years and each time I would throw them away. I saw them for what they were away to set fear in someone to send whatever to follow the instructions.
