From The Director of Medical & Research Div
Dear Friends,
A few weeks ago, in a movie theater, a person felt something poking from her seat. When she got up to see what it was, she found a needle sticking out of the seat with a note attached saying "You have just been infected by HIV". The Disease Control Center (in Paris) reports many similar events in many other cities recently. All tested needles were HI V Positive.
The Center also reports that needles have been found in cash dispensers at public banking machines. We ask everyone to use extreme caution when faced with this kind of situation. All public chairs/seats should be inspected with vigilance and caution before use. A careful visual
inspection should be enough. In addition, they ask that each of you pass this message along to all members of your family and your friends of the potential danger.
Recently, one doctor has narrated a somewhat similar instance that happened to one of his patients at the Priya Cinema in Delhi. A young girl engaged and about to be married in a couple of months, was pricked while the movie was going on. The tag with the needle had the message "Welcome to the World of HIV family". Though the doctors told her family that it takes about 6 months before the virus grows strong enough to start damaging the system and a healthy victim could survive about 5-6 years, the girl died in 4 months, perhaps more because of the "Shock thought". We all have to be careful at public places, rest God help! Just think about saving a life by forwarding this message. Please, take a few seconds of your time to pass along.
With Regards,
Director of Medical & Research Div, Chennai, India.

This is bull shit. I don't what people get by forwarding such mails. This is a hoax and people http://www.snopes.com/horrors/madmen/pinprick.asp
Dont give idle people ideas with such emails.
You may not be knowing this so I am not blaming you directly.
But a piece of sincere advice, any time you get an email that is supposed to be forwarded. Like a cancer patient asking for money for treatment or something like this(or the more recent two moons email) please do a google search with subject or a few line from the email.
Do this because you may think it is not a big deal to forward only takes a click of the button. But doyou know that many such emails have overloaded server and crashed them because of this mass forwarding. Do the right thing. Be responsible when you are creating awareness
Thanks Raj for your long comment and will be careful here on. Really appreciate your time you took for comment. And thanks for the advice.
