KISS SOMEONE YOU LOVE WHEN YOU RECEIVE THIS LETTER
This letter has been sent to you for good luck. The original copy is
in New England. It has been sent around the world nine times.
THE LUCK HAS NOW BEEN SENT TO YOU. You will receive good luck within
four (4) days of receiving this letter, providing you send it back out.
This is no joke. You will receive good luck. Do NOT send money, as
faith has no price. Do not keep this letter. It must leave your hands
within 96 hours.
An R.A.F. officer received $70,000. Joe Elliot received $40,000 and
lost it because he broke the chain. While in the Phillippines, Gene
Welch lost his wife 6 days after receiving the letter, which he failed
to circulate. Before her death, however, he received $7,755,000.
Please send 20 copies of the letter and see what happens in 4 days.
The chain comes from Venezuela and was written by Samuel Anthony
DeGroup, a missionary from South America. Since the copy must make a
tour of the world, you must make 20 copies and send to friends and
associates. After a few days, you will get a surprise. This is true
even if you are not superstitious.
DO NOTE THE FOLLOWING
Constantian Olas received the chain in 1958. He asked his secretary
to make 20 copies and send them out. A few days later he won a lottery
for two million dollars. Carlos Dedditt, an office employee received
the letter and forgot it had to leave his hands in 96 hours. He lost
his job. After finding the letter again, he mailed out 20 copies.
A few days later, he found a better job. Nolan Fairchild received the
letter, and not believing, threw it away. Nine days later, he died.
In 1972, Richard Nixon received the letter and was re-elected President
by a landslide margin. He had failed to send out the required copies.
The next year was forced out of office. Salman Rushdie was sent the chain
and misplaced his copy. Three days later he had written a best-selling
novel. The very next day, a death warrant was placed on his life. Several
months later, he found his copy of the letter, and quickly mailed out the
20 copies ... including one to Ayatollah Khoumeini. The Ayatollah dismissed
the letter as sacriledge. One week later, he died.
Remember, send no money. Please do not ignore this.
IT WORKS!
{ed the funniest thing about this is that many rec.humor.endlessfollowups
didn't know it was a joke. They complained about posting chain letters.}
