Well, this email claims that you can help pay for a sick child's medical expenses simply by forwarding the message to others. According to the message, baby Alicia Bosh will receive 10 cents towards the cost of an operation every time you send the email onwards. I bet most of you ever received the same email and you forwarded it to your friends (and your friends forwarded the same to their friends) right!

Upon checking the net for the same information I found out that this is a hoax e-mail. This is the excerpt of the comment made by www.hoax-slayer.com

The message does not give any details about who is supposedly donating the money. Apparently, we are expected to believe that the money will somehow appear by magic every time we hit the "Forward" button. No legitimate company or charitable organization would base a fund raising campaign on how many times a particular email was forwarded. Moreover, there is no reliable or ethical method of tracking such an email, and therefore no way of accurately calculating how much money was to be donated....................At this point, I have no information about the accuracy of the original message or Alicia's current health. I am conducting further research, and will update this article if I unearth more information on the case.

Regardless of Alicia's current situation however, you can rest assured that forwarding this foolish email will do her no good whatsoever.

So the next time you receive this email please ignore it.
