The claim

Email asks recipients to add their name and country to a birthday list before sending the message to all of their friends

Hey,

This is kind of cool! Out of all of the billions of people who live in the world, there has got to be somebody born on each date of the year. We are going to try to accomplish the task of seeing if we can fill the calendar up with a birthday on every day of the year. Add your name and your country next to your birth date to the list below. Then send this list to all of your friends, plus the person who sent it to you! Lets see if we can do it!

Remember, COPYING and PASTING this to NEW E-mail will keep it clean and make it easier to read than just forwarding it. If someone has already put their name in the slot of your birthday please just add your name beside and DO NOT DELETE THAT PERSON’S NAME! KEEP IT GOING Thanks!
