Hi.
My name is kanghee Lee from University of Colorado at Boulder and I am
just starting using e-mailing.
How's the weather up there?
The weather of here, Boulder, CO, is very nice.  It's like typical fall.
Today, I just got a mail that i have attempted sending chain letter.
Unfortunatly, I completely have no idea about that.  If I had done
something illegal, probably I shouldn't have known about that, so I am
sending a question that what the chain letter is and the other sfuff
related to chain letter.
If you reply to my question, I'll be really appreciated. I'll be looking
forward your mail.  Thank you.

                                                  University of Colorado
                                                    Kanghee Lee

	The weather here in Taiwan is beautiful this time of year!!

> forward your mail.  Thank you.

	If you'd like you can send me a copy of what you sent out and I'll
let you know what is "wrong" with it.  

	There are two catagories you letter may fall into.  One is the
"chain-letter" type which proclaims to bring you good luck if you send out
copies to 25 of your friends.  This seems harmless but many people feel
that this can multiply and clog up the network and clutter disk space
with "useless email".

	Then there is the "fast-cash" type.  These are the ones which
are generally illegal.  They are pyramid schemes which promise to make the
receipient rich or some such nonsense.  (If people stop and think...hey if
we "all" do it we'll all be rich!...they would understand how foolish they
are to participate.)  Of course the only one with a chance of getting
"rich" is the originator.

	Regards,

		Ed
