I was crowned Bakra on April 1st, Fools day.


This was the most happening fools day for me. :) Sent the below email to 5 of my friends using a Java Email program.

From: Termination
To: Somebody

Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2008 3:05 PM

Subject: Termination
Dear Somebody, This is to inform you about the termination of your employment with ACB for the reasons set forth based on performance.

We have scheduled a conference with you today at 5pm in Aryabhatta conference room. At that time we will review the reasons for the possible termination of your employment.

Please consider this as a formal letter of your one month service notice period at ACB. Your services will be considered terminated from 30th April 2008 EOD.

Thanks & Regards

ACB

P.S: We advice you do not discuss this with anyone.

After realizing they were fooled, the reply these 5 sent me, made me the real bakra of the day.

It has been bought to our notice that you have misused the facility given to you by ABC.
We have received complaints that you are involved in IT Security Breach. Hence the Management has decided to take immediate & stern action on your misconduct.
Please meet me at my office immediately.

After realizing (which took about 5 seconds) that its a reply to my prank, I was crowned bakra of the day.
But this was the best April 1st so far for me.
