I am sending this note to about thirty people. If each of you send it

at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300)... and those 300 send it to at least
ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000) ... and so on, by the time the message
reaches the sixth generation of people, we will have reached over THREE
MILLION consumers!
If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each,
then 30 million people will have been contacted! If it goes one level
further, you guessed it..... THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!!
Again, all You have to do is send this to 10 people. That's all. (If you
don't understand how we can reach 300 million and all you have to do is
send this to 10 people.... well, let's face it, you just aren't a
mathematician. But I am... so trust me on this one.)
How long would all that take? If each of us sends this email out to ten
more people within one day of receipt, all 300 MILLION people could
conceivably be contacted within the next 8 days!!!
I'll bet you didn't think you and I had that much potential, did you!
As I'm not in the UK this doesn't refer to me, but I see the point, and
perhaps it could work.
Perhaps however, you could put your email addresses into the BCC section so
that they are sent 'blind' and the expected 300 million people won't have
their email addresses harvested as is done with forwarded emails around the
world.
