A linear functional T on a $Fr{\acute{e}}echet$ algebra (A, (pn)) is called almost multiplicative with respect to the sequence ($p_n$), if there exists ${\varepsilon}{\geq}0$ such that ${\mid}Tab-TaTb{\mid}{\leq}{\varepsilon}p_n(a)p_n(b)$ for all $n{\in}\mathbb{N}$ and for every $a,b{\in}A$. We show that an almost multiplicative linear functional on a $Fr{\acute{e}}echet$ algebra is either multiplicative or it is continuous, and hence every almost multiplicative linear functional on a functionally continuous $Fr{\acute{e}}echet$ algebra is continuous.
