"Hi - cybermonkey24@hotmail.com
Please be assured that you will not receive this e-mail again, it is a one off mailing!
Recently I received a chain letter (A piece of mail that was forwarded to me) that contained your e-mail along with several other peoples.
I thought that as your e-mail address was contained in one of these chain letters (forwards) you might have others that you would be willing to send to me. I know that this might sound a bit bizarre but I can assure you that this is a serious request. I am involved in a research project that is based over the next year, we are analysing Internet mail and trying to come up with some fairly accurate results as far as trends and patterns are concerned, we also need some accurate data regarding the type of mail that circulates around the internet, we know that 69% of all mail is Spam but what we don’t know is what % of that Spam accounts for chain mail (forwards of any type, something that has been forwarded to you, a piece of mail that has formed part of a chain).
I would be very grateful if you would be kind enough to forward absolutely anything and everything that remotely resembles chain mail, forwards of any type (even the rude ones). This project is based over the next year and I need at least 500,000 forwards for this project to be a success, so please keep them coming the more the better and don’t worry I have some pretty huge mail boxes to cope with this.
I would be most grateful if you would be kind enough to forward this e-mail to all your friends & family as I need as many as I can get my hands on for the project to be successful
Please send all chain mail (forwards) to the following address. gemma36@research-project.org
Everyone that helps will receive a copy of our results and findings in January of next year so please help if you can.
Thanks
Gemma

Well done, by replying you've just signed yourself up to a lifetime of junk mail from them, as they send emails like the above to find out whether an email address is valid or not so they can spam them later forever and ever! 
LMAO!
