StopForwardingUs is less of a service as much as it is a statement. It lets you send an anonymous, yet polite message to someone telling them to stop sending mass forwarded e-mails to friends, family members, and co-workers.
All you need to do this is their name and e-mail address and it will send the note on. The e-mail that's sent out links up to StopForwardingUs' etiquette page, which smartly points out "our correspondence reflects who we are," which might be a more subtle way of telling your brother-in-law to stop sending you e-mails about Bubble Yum bubblegum containing spider eggs.
The real problem here is that you may not always know how many other people your sender has included in their messages. If they're savvy to the blind carbon copy function on their e-mail client, you could be setting yourself up to be targeted as the person who sent the note, thus rendering the power of anonymity useless.
I've pasted the full e-mail your recipient gets after the jump--with spelling corrections.
