The content of the mail was like this:
Dear All,
Ericsson is distributing free laptops for their brand promotion. They are hoping to increase their popularity and sales with this campaign.All you need to do is send an email about this promotion to 8 people and you will receive an Ericsson T18 laptop.
However, if you send an email to 20 people or more you will receive an Ericsson R320 laptop.
Make sure you send a copy anna.swelung@Ericsson.com
By seeing this, most of us will think that its true and will forward the mail to atleast 20 persons. But what I have did is, just searched over the internet to know more about this mail and finally I have found that its an HOAX mail which has been circulating through the internet for many years.
So, I request you not to forward this kind of e-mails; no matter who sends you the mail and what it claims to do. If you receive any mails like this, just don't respond to them.
To know more about this e-mail, take a look here:
