Scary "No Face" E-Mail Sent to School Kids in England

The students of Newquay Junior School in Cornwall, England have more to worry about than exams. Dozens of school children(some as young as seven) have received a terrifying e-mail threatening them with certain death.

The e-mail is titled "11 year old pregnant girl." When opened, it reads: "My name is Ofelia Heras. I'm 16 years old. I'm a murderer. I have no face. When you look at me you will die immediately." The sadistic teen with no face then threatens to murder anyone who doesn't forward the email to 24 people within 900 seconds.

We are the first to applaud a good prank, but this is a bit dark(grade school kids...really?). What dissapointed us most was the lack of originality. Couldn't they have ripped off a movie older than The Ring? Come on!
