Gift certificate hoax

I did receive this e-mail back in December and am glad I ignored it. I usually do ignore these types.

Claim: Applebee's Restaurant is giving away $50 gift certificates to customers who forward an e-mail message.

False

This is how the letter goes:

My name is Bill Palmer, founder of Applebee's. In an attempt to get our name out to more people in the rural communities where we are not currently located, we are offering a! $50 gift certificate to anyone who forwards this email to 9 of their friends. Just send this email to them and you will receive an email back with a confirmation number to claim your gift certificate.

Sincerely Bill Palmer Founder of Applebee's Visit us at: http://www.applebees.com/Hey guys, It really works, I tried it and got my Gift certificate confirmation number in 3 minutes.
