This is the text of a chain letter I got in the mail today.
So-- what do you all think? Are chain letters sponsored by the Con?
--After all, these are the people who brought you Chain Smoking,
Chain Gangs, Chains & Whips and other such delights.

Awaiting the answers to this and other Great Questions of the Times
(available now on album for just $19.95 plus shipping from Alpha
Centauri),

P.S. Has there ever been a chain letter for "Bob"?

KISS SOMEONE YOU LOVE WHEN YOU
GET THIS LETTER AND MAKE MAGIC

This paper has been sent to you for good luck. It has been around the
world nine times. The luck has now been sent to you. You will receive
good luck within four days after receiving this letter provided you in
return send it back out. This is no joke. You will receive it in the
mail.

Send copies to people you think want good luck. Don't send money, as
fate 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
Philippines. Gena Welsh lost his wife six days after receiving the
letter. He failed to circulate the letter. However , before her death
she has won 30,000 in a lottery. The money was transferred to him four
days after he decided to mail out this letter.

Please send 20 copies of the letter and see what happens in four days.
The chain letter comes from Venezuela and was written by Saul Anthony
DeCrot, a missionary from South America. Since the copy must make a
tour of the world, you must make 20 copies and send them to your friends
and associates. After a few days you will get a streak of luck. This is
true even if you are not superstitious.

Do note the following; Constantine Dias received the chain in 1983. He
asked his secretary to make 20 copies and send them out. A few days
later he won the lottery of two million dollars. Aria Dadil, an office
employee received the letter and forgot it had to leave his hands within
96 hours. He lost his job. Later after finding the letter again, he
mailed out 20 copies. A few days later he got a better job. Dales
Fairchild received the letter and not believing, threw the letter away.
Nine days later he died.

On August 20, 1985 the letter was retyped and mailed again for fun and
mere love in the world. This letter was retyped on Sept. 1, 1986 and
again on November 13, 1986, and once more on December 14, 1986.

Remember, send no money. Please do not ignore this. It works.
