how can it be illegal? chain mail is not good netiquette but isn't illegal, spam isn't illegal, advertising isn't illegal.
As for the scheme itself, It's not illegal either, it's not slander, all your asking people to do is not use the services of esso and bp. I don't see what good it will do, there's been a boycott on nestles for at least the last ten years, something to do with them encouraging mothers in third world to not breast feed by giving free samples of powdered milk, to get them dependant on the stuff. I can't see nestles struggling or taking any notice.
I don't buy from them often anyway, so it won't put me out to not use them at all.
