先ほど、一通のメールをある友人からおくられてきました。その友人はほとんどメッセージもかかず、転送メールだけを送ってくる人なのですが。私は普通、転送メールで‘このメールを１０人に送らないと悪いことが起きる’とかも全然気にせず削除するタイプなのですが、なんか今回のは、うーん、と考えてしまうものでした。これ、変なメールなのか、本当の話なのか。。。誰か最後まで読んだ人、コメント下さい。

“Subject: To My Child (dont delete ~ its being tracked)

Be sure and read to the bottom portion.....

Just for this morning, I am going to smile when I see your face and laugh when I feel like crying.
Just for this morning, I will let you choose what you want to wear, and smile and say how perfect it is.
Just for this morning, I am going to step over the laundry, and pick you up and take you to the park to play.
Just for this morning, I will leave the dishes in the sink, and let you teach me how to put that puzzle of yours together.

Just for this afternoon, I will unplug the telephone and keep the computer off, and sit with you in the backyard and blow bubbles.
Just for this afternoon, I will not yell once, not even a tiny grumble when you scream and whine for the ice cream truck, and I will buy you one if he comes by.
Just for this afternoon, I won’t worry about
what you are going to be when you grow up, or second guess every decision I have made where you are concerned.
Just for this afternoon, I will let you help me bake cookies, and I won’t stand over you trying to fix them.
Just for this afternoon, I will take us to
McDonald’s and buy us both a Happy Meal so you can have both toys.

Just for this evening, I will hold you in my
arms and tell you a story about how you were born and how much I love you.
Just for this evening, I will let you splash in the tub and not get angry.
Just for this evening, I will let you stay up late while we sit on the porch and count all the stars.
Just for this evening, I will snuggle beside you for hours, and miss my favorite TV shows.
Just for this evening when I run my finger
through your hair as you pray, I will simply be grateful that God has given me the greatest gift ever given.

I will think about the mothers and fathers who are searching for their missing children, the mothers and fathers who are visiting their children’s graves instead of their bedrooms, and mothers and fathers who
are in hospital rooms watching their children suffer senselessly, and screaming inside that they can’t handle it anymore.

And when I kiss you good night I will hold you a little tighter, a little longer. It is then, that I will thank God for you, and ask him for nothing, except one more day.............

Hi. I am a 29 year old father. Me and my wife have had a wonderful life together. God blessed us with a child too.....
Our daughter’s name is Rachel, and she is 10 years old. Not long ago did the doctors detect brain cancer in her little body. There is only one way to save her and that is an operation. Sadly we don’t have the money for the operation. AOL and Zdnet have agreed to help us. The only way they can help is this:
If you send this email to other people, AOL will track this email and count how many people get it. Every person that opens this email and sends it to at least 3 people will give us 32c. Please help us. George Arlington. ”

ナンカ怪しい。新手の商売かも。

メールアドレスの情報を送ったり、あるサイト訪問をする度にこの手紙を書いた人に5セント入るとして、無差別にメールを大量に送れば大変なお金が転がり込む訳ですね。

前半がお涙頂戴みたいでクサイ。 　

こーゆーの聞いた事ある。内容が本当かどうかわあなた次第で決めたらいいんじゃない？でもメールを回したらその人にお金が入って手術代の足しにできるという話はどっかのテレビでしてたようなきがする。オペラか何かでいってたかな？ 　

レス３さん、ほんとですか？ でも、ちょっと怪しい気がレス２さんのようにないわけでもなく。。。これうそだったら、すんごいたちの悪いいたずらですよねぇ。まぁ、もううちらはコンピューター世界に住んでるわけだから、手術代集めるのに、こういうのもアリなんだろうけども、怪しすぎっ！ 　

みなさん優しいコメントをするように努力されている中すいませんが、勘違いする人がいるかもしれないので．．．
”AOL will track this email ”
あり得ませんm(__)m
