NAME:M & Ms Chocolate Candies hoax

This is one of numerous hoax messages that promise various things if you spread them. The message itself looks like this:

 Hi.  My name is Jeffrey Newieb I am a marketing analyst for M &
 Ms chocolate candies based in Hershey, Pennsylvania.  As the
 year 2000 approaches, we want to be the candy of the millenium.
 As you may already  know, the Roman numeral for Y2K is MM.  We
 are asking you to pass on this e-mail to 5 friends.  Our
 tracking device is calculating how many e-mails you send out.
 Every time it reaches 2000 people, you will receive a free case
 (100 individual 55 gram packs) of delicious M & M candies.  That
 means the more people it reaches, the more candy you're going to
 get.  Mmmmmm... yummy M & Ms for the year 2000!!

No one will ever pay/give anything for spreading messages like this, so please ignore this message and don't pass it on.
