No animals were harmed in the transmission of this email, although the hamster next door is living on borrowed time, let me tell you. Those of you with an overwhelming fear of the unknown will be gratified to learn that there is no hidden message revealed by reading this warning backwards, so just ignore that Alert Notice from Microsoft this is not a conspiracy. However, by pouring a complete circle of salt around yourself and your computer you can ensure that no harm befalls you. If you have received this email in error, please add some nutmeg and braised tofu and place it in a warm oven for 40 minutes at Gas mark 2.

Do nothing in haste; look well to each step; and from the beginning think what may be the end.
