It can't hurt - I'd rather be on the side of angels than not.
Let me know what happens to you the morning after you open this e-mail.
 
-Oh honestly, do you really think angels wage war on a piece of text that can't do anything except annoy the heck out of me? Do you really think this stupid chain letter will threaten my life? If so, why did you send it in the first place? Oh, because you want to be an angel, right. And yes it can hurt in ways you probably couldn't imagine. Stop ruining friendships by sending chain letters.
 
This is an unusual one. It actually gives you a time tomorrow.. Let's see if it works.
 
Unusual just like every other chain letter that gives you a time limit as in "you must send this to 25 people within an hour or else."
 
-Wrong.
 
There's nothing unusual about this chain just because it says so.
 
-It only works on people who lose the ability to think for themselves whenever some viral nuissance spreads to their computer. It won't work on me.
 
GUARDIAN ANGEL
 
-I don't believe in chain letter angels.
 
Forward this message the same day you received it. It may sound ridiculous, but it is right on time. We believe that something is about to happen..
 
-Cut the fake urgency.
 
Angels exist,
 
-But not in chain letters.
 
only sometimes they haven't got wings and
 
And they are called "friends" yadda yadda yadda, seen that corny saying show up in chain letters before.
 
we call them friends;
 
-See? How predictable. Gah, sometimes it's a real drag being right. Anyway, so much for this forward being "unusual..."
 
you are one of them..
 
-Translation: This forward is going to play on the ego, it will butter you up and put you in the mood to spam all your friends with this piece of junk!
 
-No thanks. You can call me a wingless angel all you want, but you're not going to get me to pass on this fake friendship spam.
 
Something wonderful is about to happen to you and your friends. Tomorrow at 11:09AM somebody will address you and tell you some thing you have been waiting to hear.
 
-Clue, people, no chain letter can literally make somebody call you up out of the blue with some wonderful news, let alone any specific time.
 
Please do not break this. Send it to at least 7 of your friends!
 
-No, don't annoy at least 7 of your friends with this chain letter. As for breaking it, consider it thoroughly smashed.
