Hello There...

(1 / 2)


			    HELLO, HELLO!!

Today is International Hello Day (I'm not kidding).  The heads of state of
sixty eight countrys have approved this day as Hello Day, in an effort to
promote world peace and good will.  How does it work?  "Well..."  Just say
Hello to 10 different people today and you would have done your civic duty.

And since there are Hellos at the top of this mail message, if only 10 of
read this, I did my part.  If 20 read this, think of the good karma I have
comming to me.  If 30 read this, I may go into politics.  "Nancy, say Hello".

						Goodbye,
						Dennis

This is probably cheating...

This is a special HelloDay "Hello."  It is a part of a world wide electronic
Hello Campaign.  Please make 20 copies of this hello and send them to your
friends.  It is very important that you keep the chain going so that the world
won't end at midnight tonight.

A woman at IBM in Austin, Texas passed on this hello this morning. At noon, 
she heard from the IRS taht they were giving her a $500 refund.  A man in
Pomona, California typed in the hello on CompuServe and found out an hour
later taht he was a $1000 instant winner in the lottery.

An elderly clerk at the Santa Clara County Medical Center in San Jose failed
to pass on the "hello" and had a heart attack at 9:23am this morning.  A man
in Seattle, Washington ignored the "hello" that came to him at 11:34am PST and
died at 11:52 when a Boeing 767 landed on the roof of his car as he was driving
to lunch.  A bag lady in New York City ignored the hello she saw on the
Time of Day sign in front of Chase Manhatten Bank, and was promptly mugged
and robbed of her bag.

You should also send 25 cents to the first 3 people at the top of the 
"Forwarded from" list at the beginning of this message.  Hurry and pass this
"hello" along so the world won't end tonight.
