Hoax Mails

Its surprising (and irritating) to see how hoax e-mails are being circulated. I get at the least 3 mails per day with a "Fwd: x n" in the subject line...
A recent one is at the end of this post.. 
I don't understand how people fall for such things and forward it to their list... I mean who'll pay some crippled orphan person money for someone else forwarding mails, that too on various servers?? If there are stupid world record signature mails.. where will they go? to whom will they reach... who'll decide what number of people have to put in their name... how do you know one person hasn't put in 5 names..
In my free time i like to checkup these hoaxes by copy pasting the material on google or checking out hoax-slayer.com

And here's the mail i got today... i wish AOL were as generous to me..
Pleeeeeeez, Read this... & forward it.....
Forward to as much as you can. Dear Reader,
I am writing this on behalf of my loving husband.
Everything was fine, me, my husband and our three children. We had a happy family.. My husband was an Engineer in a big company. He comes home early and helps me with the house chores and plays with the children...
Our dreams were shattered in front of our eyes last week. It was a drunk lorry driver, who came on the wrong side and hit us and went. It killed my little baby girl and left my husband paralyzed.. My husband is still in the hospital. His brain is damaged and he needs an operation. I need 5 lakhs to save his life. I have collected about 3 lahks from my friends and family. I need another 2 lakhs.I don't want to lose him. He is such a wonderful husband & father.
He still doesn't know we lost our little girl. I am looking after my son
now... Without my husband I won't be able to take care of him. Please help
me save my husband the one person I dearly love. I have already lost my daughter and I don't want to lose my husband as well. Please help us. Thank
 you for your r love & support. May God bless you.


Yours Truly,
Nirosha Silva

(I know you don't like to forward mails. I am really sorry to bother you. If you have a heart and like to help a family, please forward this mail. Every time you forward this it will add 5 cents per email ID to AOL and they will deposit it into my bank account. Which will help me save my husband.)
