Poor Simon Ashton whoever he is! What did he do to deserve that?
You should read this article in the Guardian regarding the Simon Ashton hoax email doing the rounds. It’s a HOAX!
Never forward on emails like that unless you are sure it’s a fact. You might just be spreading there virus if there is one.
Also you are supplying the spammers with email addresses that they can then use to spam your friends.
So don’t do it!
