This document has been circulating for more than a month, comes back
regularly on every newsgroup I know, and should not be answered to, because
the organiser's e-mail adress has been removed, due to being inundated with
thousand upon thousands of answers. It's dangerous to ask people to mail
something to 50 others and then mail everything back to you. Just imagine
what is 50 to the 4th power only, by the first 50 people who send this
through you ideally get 2500 responding mails. Even if only 10% of the list
is reaching the next 50 you come at 62500 by the next stage. If only 10% of
those mails on the next step is 39.062.500. Even with only 1% of people
doing what is asked you still get... 390.625 responses. In the fourth
stage, assuming only 1% of the third stage continues (!) you come to an
absolutely impossible amount of returning mail, but by that time the
receiving mailbox (which belonged to a private person was already flooded
and had to be closed down).
You can try sending an e-mail to it.
