URGENT NEWS
News from Ampang Gleneagles Hospital Important news to pass it on ! Please spend 1 minute and read on... News from Gleneagles Hospital (Ampang) URGENT !!!!! from Gleneagles Hospital Limited

Seven women have died after inhaling a free perfume sample that was mailed to them. The product was poisonous. If you receive free samples in the mail such as lotions, perfumes, diapers etc. throw them away. The government is afraid that this might be another terrorist act. They will not announce it on the news because they do not want to create panic or give the terrorists new ideas. Send this to all your friends and family members..

Gleneagles Hospital Limited Human Resource Department


and

Alert !!!!!DO NOT OPEN ANY FREE Colonges, lotions,soaps or any products, such as this, that might be in your mailbox or offered to you free, anywhere in public places. If you smell these you could die. I had a text alert come to me through my Verizon Phone from a Goverment Agent, just as probally a lot of you have. It is serious!! They think this is another terrorist attack. It Is legit

The above emails, which also exists in several other similar variants, do not appear to be based on any truth whatsoever. Typically, the emails are written in such a way as to give itself a way as a hoax. The assertion that the government will not `announce it on the news` because it will cause a panic or `give terrorists new ideas` is absurd as it is illogical. Additionally, Gleneagles Hospital have made no such announcement. (Why would they if the government wants it hush hush? Rebel HR lady?) The email makes no sense, and should be deleted if received.
