I just copied and pasted the story and the facts of the company and emailed them all my friends, who in turn will forward the email to their friends..... I don't know if it help

It doesn't. Sorry to be blunt, but mass-forwarded e-mail is almost always a bad idea. If you want to alert your friends, provide a link to a Web page (like, say, Snopes' page on the story), because if the story turns out to be bogus or the facts change, a Web page can be updated. Mass e-mails can't, and they don't stop spreading when they go out of date.

Not only that, but people have a tendency to include all the e-mail addresses in the e-mails they forward. Most don't, but it only takes one person in each recipient's address book, and before you know it, your address and everyone in your address book, and everyone in their address book, on down line, are floating all over the Internet.

When I sent the email out I included the link in the email. I also asked everyone to copy and paste the email and foreword it. So far my mailbox is full of replies and each one of them are mad about this. I always put in links when I can. Thanks for the help. ~~Pandora~~
