Chain email letters

[rosenante]

I got in touch with a guy I had been at school with a long time ago. We chatted on the phone and got on famously. I was supposed to be organising a get together with some others from school but it didn't materialise. Hadn't spoken to him for more than a year but just recently he has taken to sending me religious type chain emails. I find this sort of thing puerile and am quite amazed that he's sending them. Do you think I should email him or phone him and ask him to stop? Worried incase he's a nutter and I upset him.

I just ignore chain mail type email....they are so annoying!

I'd forward them back to him. This may annoy him and he might stop sending them to you.

No, I wouldn't engage in communication - especially if he is a bit of a loony - it might lead to encouragement.

Just delete them, ignore him and hope they stop.

If not, then drop him a line and ask him to stop, but do it bluntly, not in a namby pamby way.

Thank for your replies. Email deleted as advised - what am I a man or a mouse! Funny how people can get to you when you feel a bit vulnerable.

Can you block him as a sender? Then his emails will bounce back to him.

I hate chain emails...they always leave me feeling something awful will befall me if i don't forward them immediately to 55 of my closest friends.

Take EngTeachs advice and just block the sender so you wont have to worry about it any more. If you contact him and ask him to stop it may have the opposite effect as he knows that he is getting a reaction out of you.

I dont even read them - I just delete straight away.

I do what sally does
I bet bad things happen to whoever writes them - well they should!!
