Especially ones with stupid endorsements that it really works like this one:
It does work! I was given a free return ticket to Cape Town within 3
days of sending this email!
bye
carla
So let me get this right...

You sent this email.
You got the ticket within three days after sending this email?



Oh! you got the ticket within 3 days before you sent the email

So when I hit the jackpot, I must pass on this mail.
OK. That works for me

Why do people start senseless chain mails? I really want to know.
