Hi Everyone! Please read the following letter. It could be true...it could be false but most likely it's true. PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS!!!! This is from someone here at Sprint that has a longtime friend. They were talking on the phone last night and this friend told her of a good friend of hers that was dating someone from Afghanistan. Anyway...to make a long story short...he never showed for a date w/ her (which was on 9/6) and when she went to his house to find him the place was completely empty. Then on 9/10 she rcvd a letter from him begging her to not get on "ANY" planes on 9/11 and to not go to "ANY" malls on 10/31 (Halloween). Please take this as a warning and stop anyone from going to the malls on Halloween. This could be true so please send this to everyone you know. Stephanie |
