As a science teacher, I thought I would share this email.
I do not know anything about this person, nor do I know if it is even a real project. I am sharing this with others in the hopes that it is legitimate and will get another young person hooked on science! I would hope that others would do the same for one of my students. If you are leery, then just don't participate.
"Hi:
I am Shannon Syfrett a 9th grade student at Central Academy.I am working on a project for my 2003 Science Fair to be held February 25th, 2003. I am trying to see where, and how fast e-mail can travel in a period of six weeks. I am keeping track of how many e-mails I get back, and what cities, states, and countries they are coming from. I am hoping that you will be willing to help me with my project!
There are only 2 simple steps that will help me to track this email:
1. Please send an e-mail to the following address: howfastorfar2003@aol.com
In the subject of the e-mail please include your city, state, and country. You do not need to include your name. Please respond only one time.
2. Please forward this e-mail to everyone on your mailing list. I will be keeping track of the number of responses, as well as the locations. Therefore, send them even to people in the same town.
In my science project, I am trying to demonstrate how fast and how far information can travel on the Internet in a six week period. If you receive this e-mail after February 23,2003 please disregard it, since the project will be over.
Thank you VERY much for your help!
