4. If it tells the tear-jerking sob story of Mary Lou Cow who has cancer, and then it tells you that for every time the email is sent out Mary Lou receives five cents from the Make a Wish Foundation (who funnily enough don’t donate money—they grant wishes…) and a further two cents from AOL so as to help her find a cure for cancer, don’t forward it.

5. If it says something along the lines of, “I sent this email and then this good thing happened! I didn’t send this email and this bad thing happened!” don’t forward it.

6. If it says, “Are you ashamed of Jesus? I’m not. That’s why I sent this,” or “Are you a true American?” or something similar in it, don’t forward it.

9. If it says “This email has been going on since 1882!” don’t forward it. Email wasn’t very official until the 1990’s, PS. And the personal computer wasn’t invented until the 80’s. So it’s a little impossible.

10. If it’s a forward, please don’t forward it!
