This is a chain letter. Although this one is not related to viruses at all, we list it here as it has become seriously widespread. Here's an example of the chain letter.

Its worth a try and only takes 2 seconds of your time....

I thought this was rubbish, but they got back to me within a week!!!!!!!!

I contacted the London BA office - THIS IS REAL!!!!!! Due to the SARS and the recent war in Iraq, the number of passengers flying world-wide has fallen dramatically. We at British Airways have launched an international media campaign which aims to fill our aircraft once again. A part of this campaign is direct email advertising. This is where YOU come in! British Airways, along with Microsoft are tracking this email, and for every 5 people you forward this to, you will receive a flight to London return from any destination in the world (if your in the UK, you can fly to any Asian destination return). Send this email to 10 people and you are eligible to fly ANYWHERE in the world return to your depature point! Simple as that!

However, that only catch is you MUST travel BEFORE 31st October 2003. You will be contacted via email within 5 working days for your full contact and booking details.

Note: one flight per person only.

This is a complete hoax. There is no way to track e-mail like this. Do not forward the message.
