Hello Mr. Hymes,

I received this email from a friend of mine and he is on Juno.Com.  I am not
sure if it is true because it sounds remarkably similar to a story I once
heard about Liz Claiborne in the exact same circumstance.  The story was the
same except you could insert Liz's name instead of Tommy's.
Do you by chance know if it is true ?  I apologize if this is no longer
something you work on or if this message is offensive, I had searched for
hoax and came up with your site.

thank you!
