Those not only don't work... but they're illegal. I think it's officially termed mail fraud. Stay away from those. They're trouble.

I haven't gotten any recently but when I have I just get rid of them. I just don't think they really work.

Never, I think they are scams. You send it out to all those people and whose to say that any of them will actually send out the money. Plus, the ones I get never come with money, so why would i think it would work.

Every one tries this kind of tricks becz they have nothing to invest for sending emails to others. Just use auto responders and some freewares does this job for them. I dont think it will be successful.

I've gotten those letters several times, but I never responded to them. It would be nice if it was that easy to make that much money, but I just don't believe it.

They are scams and should be thrown out as soon as you see what is in the envelope. Also in many countries, including mine, Australia they are illegal.
