Issue: 55                "Appropriate Gift?"             Dec 16, 2001
=====================================================

Dear Readers,

  I've been attacked again these last two weeks by email viruses of
  the same strain. One got through and my antivirus program forced me
  to delete my "inbox". I lost all the emails that were there
  (some from readers). What a Christmas present!

  This virus seems to acquire my email address from emails I send you
  and sends a virus back to me. I've setup many new and very time
  consuming steps to "curb" their affect. The one you will notice
  immediately is that you can't contact me anymore by hitting "Reply".
  It will reply to a Don't-EmailHere@path2english.com mailbox, which
  is a fake. You will have to manually key in
  jacksonfive@path2english.com to reach me. Also, remember NEVER to
  put me in your address book, which viruses use to acquire addresses.
  Please take the time to follow my important steps above and have
  your hard drive scanned carefully, especially our readers from
  Mainland China (most of the viruses came from there). Please do your
  part to keep our newsletter and me virus free ^_^ As a final step,
  any address that sends me a virus will be removed immediately from
  our reader list. An email virus isn't what I like as a Christmas gift ;-(

  In the previous newsletter, I mentioned Jane, a loyal reader from
  China. She is making a tough decision to leave her career in the
  business world to go back to teaching. I received SO MANY emails on
  this issue. Everyone wanted to encourage her to reach for her dream.
  I have created a web page to showcase some of the best of the many
  emails that I received,

  Originally, I was going to write something about "Appropriate Gift"
  for people. However, I gave a similar topic to members of my writing
  club and I got lots of great articles from them. They are so creative
  and inspirational in fact, I like to share them with you. So instead
  of me sharing one man's view (mine) on this topic with you, you can
  benefit from the ideas of many others (members of the JacksonFive
  Writing Club). Hope you enjoy them.
