Firstly, go to the final page of the email you are forwarding. DO NOT forward from the first page or you will also be forwarding every previous recipient of the forwarded mail. Once on the final page click Forward, then delete any email addresses that appear on the page you are about to forward. Click on TO: - this will take you to your address book, but Leave the "TO" field blank. Don't put anyone's address there. Put all of your recipients in the BCC field. This will send a message to everyone you entered in the BCC field without each of them knowing who else received the message. It's quite easy to do. When opened by each recipient it will show "Undisclosed Recipient" in the "To:" field. Just make sure you enter all of the recipients in the BCC: Field and not the "CC: Field" or everyone else will see everyone else you sent the message to. And remember, leave the "TO" field blank!
