Ru Mills just received the following email from China. It appears as if China is trying to sell "water making equipment."

From the information contained in the following email, their "water making equipment" can do almost anything, including taking salt out of sea water.

In light of the 60 Minute special on Sunday about MTBE and the contamination of ground water in 49 of out 50 states, it looks like all of us may soon be buying these Chinese Water Making Machines.

If any Rumor Mill News Readers decide to import these and go into business---- Ru Mills wants her finders fee!!!

The following email is inserted as received. Does anyone have any idea why China would send Ru Mills this email? I wonder if China thinks that Rumor Mill News is an official arm of the United States government.

I wonder what Rumor Mill translates to in Chinese? *************************
