  1. haha, this was sent to "all staff" over here in Uganda as well. I'm not kidding you.

    I couldn't resist to answer:

    I'm sorry, I don't like to "reply to all" that much, but that's exactly why I'm doing it now.

    this is a hoax. A fake mail (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoax)
    you can easily recognize them because if their highly improbable message (like this one) doesn't make you suspicious, the really ugly lay-out could do the trick.

    this is nonsense. And "this month" has probably passed already numerous times.
    Next time, before you send it around, you can check first at numerous websites with lists of "hoax"-mails. Or use google.

    but it's always wise to take an umbrella with you when you go out.

    Stijn

    they "reply to all" for everything over here.

    When somebody is reported "ill" in the office, I get prayers, sent to all staff, for their health for the best part of the day.

    And unfortunately there's also a "all african staff" mailing list. And they love it. I kid you not: staff leaving in Ghana? The office closes for a day in South Africa? Not to mention what happens if someone's mother dies in Cote d'Ivoir...
