Bill Gates will give you $1,000 for helping him test a beta build of Microsoft's new email tracking software. All you have to do is forward the message along to everyone you know, despite the fact that the subject line reads a suspicious, "REALLY... This is not a joke!" and the first 1,000 people will be notified that their check is in the mail. Of course, all of this is highly improbable since: 1) $1,000 to 1,000 people would be $1 million, not a likely sum any company would spend testing beta software, and 2) Most people who get this email can already count more than 1,000 email addresses in the forwarders body of the email, but choose to forward it further anyway.

Well, if you don't believe us then see what the real Bill Gates has to say.
