Should someone inform the boss that these chain letters are bogus and scary? Should I send a link to Snopes.com?
  • Wait two weeks, then send them back

    If your boss mentions that he/she was the one that sent it to you in the first place, say, "Gee, sorry...I get the same emails forwarded to me from so many people that I don't remember who's sent it to me already." Then maybe your boss will realize that most of this stuff has been going around and around for years and that just because they haven't seen it before doesn't mean everyone else hasn't.

    I've had no patience with this stuff since pre-Internet days when that choking doberman story was making the rounds, and two different people I knew got angry at me for saying it was a hoax, because it had happened to the second cousin twice removed or whatever of someone they knew.
