Is the 'Mars closest in 5000 years' email a hoax?

[Brett13]

So I received an email today about how Mars is supposed to be the closest to Earth in like 5000 years and that it should look like a smaller moon directly next to the normal moon. I looked around the internet and some sites say that its a hoax. Does anyone know anything about this at all?

That myth has been floating around for sometime now.

Hoax.

It is a stale 7 year old hoax that is apparently being recycled as something a little different from last time. It is discussed here: https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=424132

If you still have it, though, I'd be interested in seeing the contents of that email. Could you copy/paste it?
