Chain E-mail 

An E-mail started to scare people. In the past they were filled with scary images of what could happen if you did not send to the desired amount of people. Now they are filled with sad stories or jokes that have a tag along that tells you have to send to desired amount of people or something bad will happen.

Knock Knock
Who's there?
Ugot
Ugot Who?
Ugot to send this to 15 people in the next 12 minutes or your balls will fall off.

Some junk mail that says if you send it to 50000 people then your crush kisses you 3 days into the future.

Person 1- "I heard Catherine got a chain E-mail that said she would get kissed by Bob yesterday....so she asked Bob to kiss her."
Person 2- "What did Bob say?"
Person 1- "He called her stupid for believing that crap and didn't kiss her."
Person 2- "Ooh... ouch."

Chain E-mail 

Mail sent to scare you, or to waste your inbox's storage. They never work and should be considered as offensive as spam.

Jay:I got a Chain E-mail telling me to make a wish and forward it, and by doing that it will come true.
Zach:Yea, did it?
Jay:Fuck no! I wished that people would stop sending me them.
Zach:You got another one then I'm assuming.
Jay:Yea, as soon as I sent it there was another one about dieing if I didn't send it to 56971.3 people.
Zach: HO'SHIT!

Email chain of death 

The resulting email chain from a group email, caused when a question is sent to multiple people, and everyone chirps in with varying replies, possibly including adding additional recipients who might have some interest in the matter (or more than likely not).

Good indicators are when multiple people send emails basically saying the same thing, or when new random people start chirping in to a discussion that's already been agreed.

That issue with the sales team? That really started am email chain of death, didn't it?!
