Description:
This hoax spreads via spammed email messages. The said spammed email comes with a very graphic picture of a badly burned baby. This baby is supposedly a girl named Alexandra who needs the help of the recipient of the email to finance her reconstructive surgeries and rehabilitation.
Baby Alexandra supposedly gets three cents donated to her surgery fund for every recipient the said email is forwarded to.
This is a hoax. Trend Micro advises the recipients of this email hoax to ignore, delete, and not forward it to anyone else.

Dear All,
Alexandra came out of a rigging fire alive, but now has to fight for her life and a normal future. She is 14 months old and she has burnt skin all over her body, damage facial bones (as a result of very high temperature). She does not have half of her face. She is in hospital in Cracow- Poland and one of the best specialist is looking after her. However she still has to go through many surgeries and then long rehab. Unfortunately her parents do not have any more money. Therefore we are asking for your help. For each forwarded email her parents will get 3 cents. Please help them and forward that email to as many people as you can.
