News from Gleneagles Hospital (Ampang) URGENT !!!!! from Gleneagles Hospital Limited 
Seven women have died after inhaling a free perfume sample that was mailed to them. The product was poisonous. If you receive free samples in the mail such as lotions, perfumes, diapers etc. throw them away. The government is afraid that this might be another terrorist act. They will not announce it on the news because they do not want to create panic or give the terrorists new ideas. Send this to all your friends and family members.
Warmest Regards,

Fake.
1) why is this coming from somebody in HR?
2) "They will not announce it on the news because they do not want to create panic" is stupid. Our politicians might be stupid, but even if this was their first reaction, it wouldn't last 5 minutes. Because somebody will soon point out to them "if you don't announce it, and several hundred MORE people dies over the next few days, what do you think they're going to do to you?".
3) free diapers in the mail ? blink.gif
4) snopes is the first place you should go to when evaluating rumours such as this. http://www.snopes.com/rumors/perfume.asp

Logically, is there any compound tht can kill u by just inhaling in a small amount? Fainted maybe.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but yes, there are several. In fact, if you do like Clinton (Bill) and not inhale, that may not be enough to save you. Physical skin contact may be enough.

Botulinum. Estimated LD50 (inhaled) for an 80kg human is only one quarter of one microgram. There's also vx, sarin, the thing that killed Livitnenko, etc.
