(I know you don't like to forward mails. I am really sorry to botheryou. If you have a heart and like to help a family, please forward thismail. Every mail you forward will add 5cents to AOL and they will deposit itto my bank account. Which will help me save my husband.)
Points to be noted here.
1.) In the subject the Mail Server itself shows that its a SPAM
2.) The Content
3.) IT states "Every mail you forward will add 5cents to AOL", Here note that there is no Track Back url.
4.) If any service provider wants to pay for this kind of activities they might get a small space for donation in their website.
Note: If you are going to make a donation online, see if that the website is a legitimate one. Also you might have noted and experienced as well that you would get money if you forward this mail to 100 people etc and so on. So inorder to do this the SPAMMERS they use the reputed companies name like Microsoft Corporation, AOL and so on. Also sometimes it comes with some attachments which might be a virus file.
Though there are Spam Blockers installed in the system, people anyway manage to get thest kinds of email and forward it to their friends in their contact list.
So it is in the hands of us, not to encourage these kinds of emails.
