Epilepsy: Will Your Forwarding an Email Save a Life?

Email scam

Read the story about forwarding email to help Justin Mallory's epilepsy treatment -- and learn if it's true or an urban legend

Epilepsy: Will Your Forwarding an Email Save a Life?

HELLO: My name is Justin Mallory. I am 12 years old and have epilepsy. I am undergoing treatment for my disease at the University of Pennsylvania Teaching Hospital. Without this treatment, the doctors tell me that I will not live another year. Through a donation with McDonalds and Pizza Hut these companies have agreed To donate $1 for every time this email is forwarded onto another person.

This means if 50,000 people forward on this email I will receive $50,000 in free medical treatment. Please, every single email can make a difference in my life. I beg you to help me by simply joining others before you in simply sending this email on to another.

Thanks you for your support. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!

Editors Note: This is a hoax: emails can not be tracked.
