What is it with people and chain emails? Why do otherwise perfectly charming and reasonable folk think it's okay to send you a pile of sentimental, pseudo-spiritual drivel finished off with a threat?
It's not like they'd dream of sending an email than ran along the lines of:
My granny drank a lot of coffee. Every major event in her life was accompanied by coffee: weddings, christenings, births, deaths. Apparently she drank 10 pints of the stuff the night my mother was born and had to have her stomach pumped. But she really valued the near death experience this brought on and the memory of it gave her an air of zen-like calm (apart from the constant slight vibration of her person caused by the coffee).
Let me know if you want to meet up for a coffee in Tinderbox next week sometime.
If you don't meet me for coffee something really bad will happen to you.
