  WALT DISNEY JR. GREETING

  Hello Disney fans,

  And thank you for signing up for Bill Gates' Beta Email
  Tracking My name is Walt Disney Jr. Here at Disney we are
  working with Microsoft which has just compiled an e-mail
  tracing program that tracks everyone to whom this message is
  forwarded to. It does this through an unique IP (Internet
  Protocol) address log book database. We are experimenting with
  this and need your help. Forward this to everyone you know and
  if it reaches 13,000 people, 1,300 of the people on the list
  will receive $5,000, and the rest will receive a free trip for
  two to Disney World for one week during the summer of 1999 at
  our expense. Enjoy.

  Note: Duplicate entries will not be counted. You will be
  notified by email with further instructions once this email has
  reached 13,000 people.

  Your friends,
  Walt Disney Jr., Disney, Bill Gates, & The Microsoft
  Development Team.

Do not forward this chain letter.
