This might, or might not, be an urban legend.
I believe I've received such a message before.
Anyway, I'm anti-death-penalty, so I'm not really drooling to see something like this--even though I hope this man and any other terrorists get captured soon and locked away to where they can't hurt people again.
If it's true that Osama Bin Laden has gotten hanged, I'll wait to find out about it in the news, and I would advise all others to do so, too, for the simple reason that we'd be cutting off our noses to spite our faces by opening this e-mail.
Here are the details sent to me by a friend. Possibly/Likely, an urban legend, but I wanted to warn you anyway...
1. Emails with pictures of Osama Bin-Laden hanged are being sent and the
moment that you open these emails your computer will crash and you will
not
be able to fix it!
This e-mail is being distributed through countries around the globe, but
mainly in the US and Israel.
Don't be inconsiderate; send this warning to
whomever you know.
If you get an email along the lines of "Osama Bin
Laden Captured" or "Osama Hanged" don't open the attachment.
2. Please read the attached warning issued today.
PLEASE FORWARD THIS WARNING AMONG FRIENDS, FAMILY AND CONTACTS: ;
You should be alert during the next days:
Do not open any message with an attached filed
called "Invitation" regardless of who sent it .
It is a virus that opens an Olympic Torch which "burns" the whole hard
disc
C of your computer. This virus will be received from someone who has
your
e-mail address in his/her contact list, that is why you should send
this
e-mail to all your contacts. It is better to receive this message 25
times
than to receive the virus and open it.
If you receive a mail called "invitation", though sent by a friend, do
not
open it and shut down your computer immediately.
This is the worst virus announced by CNN, it has been classified by
Microsoft as the most destructive virus ever.
This virus was discovered by McAfee yesterday, and there is no repair
yet
for this kind of virus.
This virus simply destroys the Zero Sector of the Hard Disc, & gt; where
the
vital information is kept.
SEND THIS E-MAIL TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW, COPY THIS E-MAIL AND SEND IT TO
YOUR
FRIENDS AND REMEMBER: IF YOU SEND IT TO THEM, YOU WILL BENEFIT ALL OF
US.
