Ashley Flores is Missing is a hoax

I received the following e-mail today.
Quote:
Please look at the picture, read what her mother says, then forward this message on.

Maybe if everyone passes this on, someone will see this child. That is how the girl from Stevens Point was found, by circulation of her picture on TV. The internet circulates even overseas, South America, and Canada etc. Thanks. Please pass this to everyone in your address book.

We have a Deli manager (Acme Markets) from Philadelphia, Pa who has a 13 year old daughter who has been missing for 2 weeks. Keep the picture moving. With luck on her side she will be found.

"I am asking you all, begging you to please forward this email on to anyone and everyone you know, PLEASE. My 13 year old girl, Ashley Flores, is missing. She has been missing for now two weeks.

It is still not too late. Please help us. If anyone any where knows anything, please contact me at: mailto:HelpfindAshleyFlores@yahoo.com. I am including a picture of her. All prayers are appreciated!!"

It only takes 2 seconds to forward this.
The words ACME Market clued me into the fact this might not be quite the truth, because ACME is the brand shown in all the Looney cartoons. And sure enough, it is a hoax. I found several sites confirming this.

Lenora, I don't know if it is or isn't (I don't send things like this anyways), this is an FYI ... there ARE Acme markets. There's one here in town that we shop at occasionally.

I'm sure you're right, but in a chain letter, it seems suspious. I am suspious of all chain letters and never pass them on. This letter isn't real. I found four or five hoax sites which support this. Apparently, this person's friend wrote this as a joke.

What a sick joke. Yeah, I could see it being suspicious. Smart people would have put a link to the store.

Or Amber Alert or the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. It was a very sick joke.
