How To Stop Receiving Spam from Your Friends & Family

The following is an e-mail which you can send to friends and family asking that they stop sending spam type e-mail . . . all done anonymously.

Hi,

One of your friends has sent you this message from StopForwarding.Us, the website that allows individuals to politely and anonymously email their friends and ask that they stop the habit of sending forwarded emails or FWDs.Please do not forward chain letters, urban legends, potentially offensive jokes, videos or photos without being asked or first receiving permission.

If you find something that you want to pass on and you genuinely think the recipient will enjoy it then forward it to that person only (not in an email blast to all your friends and family) and include a personal note about why you enjoyed it and why you think they will too. Avoid sending forwards to friends or relatives that you've grown distant with. It can be frustrating for the recipient when the only correspondence he or she has with someone is via impersonal, unwanted email.

Thank you,

A Friend (via www.StopForwarding.Us )
