  Hmm...usually such stuff contain ads and are either click-rate based or commission-based, so even if it is authentic, only the first-level sender (not forwarders) gets the money. I mean, how are they supposed to know who forwarded the e-mail which resulted in a successful sale - one of the few ways to track is to append an affiliate ID onto the URL linking to the destination page, which would belong to the sender.
  
  So, unless you feel like being a good samaritan for a day, chuck that mail into the junk folder. It's just no better than a everyday spam mail.
