I've been bombarded with this email so many times by hopefuls desperate to get their hands on some free vouchers. Marks and Spencers recently announced near-record profits so why on earth would they be trying viral marketing and give away free vouchers??
After looking around on Google the earliest record of this email was February 2005 so if I multiply the number of times I've received this email in the past few weeks by the number of weeks since February 2005 then by a random 200,000 (a VERY rough estimate of people who may be in the same situation as me this week) Marks and Spencers probably owe a fifth of this years £1 billion company profits to their customers in the form of vouchers.
Do the maths, people, why on earth would this be for real??
