archive of legends & netlore: Hello. My name is Rick Connor...
Whoa, this is getting monotonous! Yet another mutation of the David Lawitts letter has appeared (see also the Tamara Martin letter). Compare for yourself – most details of the letter are identical to those in the Lawitts and Martin versions. It's still a hoax, folks. I found this version posted on the Usenet, but you might well receive it sometime in the near future by email. Forewarned is forearmed...
Hello. My name is Rick Connor and I have severe lung
and throat cancer due to second hand smoke. This
letter
is a final attempt to help solve my problem. For
every person that this letter is sent to &
responds,
the lung and cancer association will donate 3
cents to help people like me become healthy again.
If you do not pass this letter on, I cannot get the
help I need.
So please, try to send this to at least 10 people.
It is for a good
cause. (By the way, be sure one of the people you
send
it to is X_1@mailexcite.com
as he keeps track of
the names that have passed this along.)
I thank you for your help. It is much appreciated.
