This hoax uses one of the more classic tricks to make it appear authentic. It claims to predict two events, the first of which has happened. The trick is that since the first event has happened, you will believe that the second is going to happen also. Of course, the hoax was written after the first event occurred, making it very simple to make an accurate "prediction."
| | Description | Hi All -
I think you all know that I don't send out hoaxes and don't do the
reactionary thing and send out just anything that crosses my path. This
one, however, is a friend of a friend and I've given it enough credibility
in my mind that I'm writing it up and sending it out to all of you.
My friend's friend was dating a guy from Afghanistan up until a month
ago. She had a date with him around 9/6 and was stood up. She was
understandably upset and went to his home to find it completely
emptied. On 9/10, she received a letter from her boyfriend explaining that
he wished he could tell her why he had left and that he was sorry it had
to be like that. The part worth mentioning is that he BEGGED her not to
get on any commercial airlines on 9/11 and to not to go to any malls on
Halloween. As soon as everything happened on the 11th, she called the
FBI and has since turned over the letter.
This is not an email that I've received and decided to pass on. This
came from a phone conversation with a long-time friend of mine last
night. I may be wrong, and I hope I am. However, with one of his warnings
being correct and devastating, I'm not willing to take the chance on the
second and wanted to make sure that people I cared about had the same
information that I did.
