Nokia Is Giving Away Phones For "FREE"!!
Nokia is trying word-of-mouth advertising to introduce its products.And the reward you receive for advertising for them is a phone free of cost! To receive your free phone all you need to do is send this email out to 8 people (for a free Nokia 6210) or to 20 people (for a free Nokia WAP).Within 2 weeks you will receive a FREE phone. (They contact you via your email address).
You must send a copy to [email protected]
