Claim:   Letter from actor Sean Connery rejects offer to become pitchman for Apple Computers.

FALSE

Example:   [Collected via e-mail, June 2011]



 

Origins: This purported 1998 letter from actor Sean Connery (famous for his portrayal of agent James Bond) to Apple CEO Steve Jobs, caustically rebuffing an offer to become a pitchman for Apple Computers, is merely a bit of humor from the satirical site Scoopertino, whose motto is "All the News That's Fit to Fabricate." Other stories from Scoopertino include "Madame Tussauds opens Apple iChamber of Horrors" and "Bill Gates predicts 'Apple Rapture': all Macs to explode in 2012."
