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.
