from WIRED Magazine: The Ultimate Urban Myth:

 <Inserted name witheld> is a ten year old boy who is dying of cancer.
 Before he dies, he would like to set the world record for recieving the
 most Neiman-Marcus Cookie recipes.  You can help <name> by sending an
 irate fax to LEXIS-NEXIS demanding that they remove all traces of your
 mother's maiden name from their executive washroom wall.  They will
 respond by sending e-mail labeled "goodtimes" to the computer
 controlling <name>'s life support equipment.  When <different name>, the
 technician operating the computer opens this mail, his hard drive will
 be overwritten with thousands of credit card invoices for $250.00,
 erasing the last bit of evidence that Hillary was seen on the grassy
 knoll when JFK was shot, thus allowing world domination by Bill Gates,
 and his Trilateral Commision cronies who are eating fried peanut butter
 and banana sandwiches in the black helicopters with Elvis.
