Sidney...this is a common email spoof going around. More info concerning this is here:

I, like you and so many others, was quite a bit concerned about this so I checked into it. I remember first hearing about it sometime last year and at the time it was considered a "myth" or "urban legend". (I had to go back and double-check this time though, just to be sure!)

Well, thanks again, That seemed so plauseable, I didn't snopes it, and since I unplugged my fax machine because of unsolicited faxes, I didn't snopes it. Last time I sent an e-mail to 50 or so and had a lot of pie on my face. Thanks.
And I apologize. I will leave this instead of asking it be pulled, so more can learn about snopes.

Good idea to leave it so others can read about it.
There was something about this on our local news a short time ago and it was so similar.
