Help!

All of us have received email forwards that need us to help someone. Everytime we forward the mail, the needy person gets money from some organisation or some bank. I got this mail recently, that was half ridiculous and half hilarious. I don't know whether someone really means this, or is this a spoof on such forwards created by a fed-up soul! Read on to see what I mean:

Hi,
I am tillu , L KG sec-B. I lost my "rubber wala pencil " (pencil with eraser attached to it). The pencil costs Rs.3/-. If u forward this msg I will get 1 paise from ICICI Bank. If you have heart plz fwd it to atleast 10 mail ids. Please don't neglect. May God bless you . Otherwise my mom will scold me. :(

Regards
Tillu, LKG, Sec.B

However, what struck me as strange was the use of the bank's name.

I dunno this mail seemed a joke on the actual mails that come this way...
I've seen too many of them to believe them now!

Rita, is that a mimic of those unsolicited junkies that drop in to ur inbox? I remember having seen SMSes of that nature running around in the cell phones here in my college!

Naveen,
Noooooo. Don't say that! I swear I don't have the pencil. Don't torment poor Tillu. For all you know he may be reading this! ;)

Thenraj,
Oh yes! Tell me about it. The mails that say that if you don't forward them, something terrible is going to happen to you to your loved ones, are the worst!

P_C_F,
I thought so too! :D

Suresh,
SMSes? I don't remember getting as such SMS though! :)

Nagesh,
*Gulp*. I've to search for that track. Will try, can't promise though! :)

I once got a similar email saying "I've lost my wife. I don't want her to come back. I'm guessing she has started using the internet. If you forward this, it might reach her and she would know.."
