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.
