This message, with which someone spammed this list, is a hoax, and maybe a 
scam. The American Cancer Society does not endorse such solicitations. (You 
can check their Web site.) 

Please do not spam this list, or any list to which you belong, with 
solicitations of this sort, virus warnings, statements attributed to Janet 
Reno, or anything else the newbies on the Internet feel compelled to dump in 
your mailbox.

There are a number of Web sites devoted to exposing such things. I've never 
found one yet that was legit.
