     This is a chain letter.  Let there be no mistake about that.

A faded copy dated 6 March 1834 was found stuck inside an old
family Bible in a Boston sea chest, so you know it's been around
for awhile.

     It is now your task to mail copies of this letter to 33
people to keep the chain intact.  Send no money, no prayers, no
discount coupons.  Ben Franklin originated the chain letter
concept in order to finance a fledgling postal service; now this
letter is responsible for a good 36% of the Postal Service's
volume.  Your efforts will help to employ thousands of grateful
Civil Service workers.

     How will you benefit?  In 1987 Wilma Ditty of Detroit
received a tax refund of $125.  Only two years previously she had
continued the chain  by sending out 33 copies.  During that two-
year period, Wilma also gave birth to two children, became
engaged and moved from a  two-room apartment into a more spacious
five-room flat.

     Another success story?  John H. of London, England mailed
off his 33 copies on October 17, 1965.  On his way home from the
post drop, he was almost hit by a bicycling teenager!  It was not
luck which saved him from injury, but the power of the letter!

     Yes, bad things can happen to you if you do not continue the
chain.  EVERYONE BORN IN 1887 WHO DID NOT CONTINUE THE CHAIN IS
NOW DEAD.

 In 1952, Deandra Simms did not continue the chain.  Sure enough, a
week later, she developed a headache which lasted five hours.  And nine
years later her son broke his leg while skiing!

     So mail 33 copies of this letter to friends, relatives and
especially to politicians.  And mail them within two weeks of the
day you receive this copy or else!
