Not bad, but I think I can underbid that one:

Quote:
Heads up everybody. I appears that the Hitler virus is on the loose. The Hitler virus doesn't crash your system or wipe out your hard drive. No, it takes over your computer and sets out to conquer the world -- starting with you! Yes, the Hitler virus is designed to bend you to its aims. It will use your PC as a power base to enslave you and put you to work duplicating the Hitler virus on your neighbor's PC. The Hitler virus will not harm you until you are no longer necessary to it's goals. Your life will be a living hell once your PC is infected. Your PC will first access the Hitler virus web site and download a gigabyte of support files. You say you don't have a gigabyte of free space? Hah! You'll be marching down to the store to buy a new hard drive! Once the gigabyte of support files are downloaded, your PC will be playing a lot of milaristic music and it will be shouting orders at you. And if you try to leave the house against orders, your PC will phone the police and have you arrested. I bet you're thinking that you will never become the stooge of your PC. Hah again! The Hitler is unprincipled in the extreme. It will grab your bank balance and your nest egg and every other asset it can lay its electronic hands on. When your PC shows you what it's got and what it can do to you, you'll march. Yeah, you'll march and you'll follow and your PC will lead. You think the Michelangelo virus was bad? What did the Michelangelo virus ever do to you? Sure it downloaded all that pornography from the same sex newsgroup. But the Hitler virus is _mean_ and I do mean _mean_. I hope your PC isn't infected. Because the only way to remove the Hitler virus is to bomb your house into rubble...


:D

Just received an even better one:
Quote:
Dear friend,

I am Mrs. Sese-seko widow of late President Mobutu Sese-seko of Zaire, now known as Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). I am moved to write you this letter. This was in confidence considering my present circumstance and situation. I escaped along with my husband and two of our sons Ivvoneand Basher out of Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to Abidjan, Cote d'ivoire where my family and I settled, while we later moved to settled in Morroco where my husband later died of cancer disease.

However, due to this situation we decided to change most of my husband's billions of dollars deposited in Swiss bank and other countries into other forms of money coded for safe purpose because the new head of state of (Dr) Mr Laurent Kabila has made arrangement with the Swiss government and other European countries to freeze all my late husband's treasures deposited in some european countries. Hence, my children and I decided laying low in Africa to study the situation till when things gets better. Like now that president Kabila is dead and the son taking over (Joseph Kabila). One of my late husband's chateaux in Southern France was confiscated by the french government, and as such I had to change my identity so that my investment will not be traced and confiscated.

I have deposited the sum Eighteen Million United State Dollars (US$18,000,000,00.) With a security company for safe keeping. What I want you to do is to indicate your interest that you can assist us in receiving the money on our behalf, so that I can introduce you to my son (Ivvone) who has the out modalities for the claim of the said funds. I want you to assist in investing this money, but I will not want my identity revealed. I will also want to acquire real/landed properties and stock in multi-national companies and to engage in other safe and non-speculative investments as advise by your good self.

May I at this point emphasize the high level of confidentiality, which this upcoming project demands, and hope you will not betray the trust and confidence, which I repose in you.In conclusion, if you want to assist us, my son (Ivvone) shall divulge to you all briefs regarding this project, tell you where the funds are currently being maintained and also discuss remuneration for your services.For this reason kindly furnish us your contact information,that is your personal telephone and fax number for validation purpose and acknowledge receipt of this mail using the above email address.

Yours sincerely,

Mrs. Mariam M. Seseseko.


Really an original one :D

Slim chance of that happening. All their servers are sure to be running on Microsoft software and, as we all know, that makes them extremely stable and realiable. ;)

And another question: who would be dumb enough to give Microsoft his home address? :)
They're already spying on me more than enough as it is...

I got the most obvious fiction ever today in my inbox:

Dear Friends,
Bill Gates is sharing his fortune. If you ignore this you will repent later.
Microsoftand AOL are now the largest Internet companies and in an effort to make sure that Internet Explorer remains the most widely used program, Microsoft and AOLare running an e-mail beta test.
When you forward this e-mail to friends, Microsoft canad will track it (if you are a Microsoft windows user) for a two week timeperiod.
For every person that you forward this e-mail to, Microsoft will pay you $245.00, forevery person that you sent it to that forwards it on, Microsoft
will pay you $243.00 and for every third person that receives it, you will be paid $241.00. Within two weeks, Microsoft will contact you for your address and then send you a cheque.

Regards.

Do they ectually expect anyone to believe this?

Yes, so the conclusion has to be different since graphics are everything!


Give me a break, the only important thing about a game is gameplay... all the rest is secondary :P
Stupid propaganda by developers who can't afford the latest cool 3D engines :P

Even worse propaganda by developers who can't think of a decent story line and make an interesting game... Have to rely on fancy graphics in stead of quality to sell their product :P

Actually, the invitation was very well written, and personalized. So it wasn't a form letter, either...
