This prayer has been sent to you for good luck. The original is in England. It has been around I the world 9 times. The luck has been sent to you. You will receive good luck within five days after receiving this letter provided that you will in turn send it back out This is no joke. You will ( receive it in the mail. Send copies to people you think need good luck. Don’t send no money for it has no price. It must leave your hands within 96 hours. A spy officer received $170,000.00. Joe Elliot received 40,000.00 and lost it because he broke the chain. While in the Phillippines Gene Walsh lost his wife after receiving the letter. He failed to arculate the letter, however before his death he received $7,775.00. Please send 20 copies of this letter and see what happens in 4 days.
The chain comes from Venezuela and was written by Saint Anthony De Cruz as a missionary from South America. Since the copy made a tour around the world. You must make 20 copies and send these out to friends and associates. After a few days later you will get a surprise. This is true even if you are not superstitious. Constance Dion received the chain in 1955. He asked his secretary to make 20 copies and send them out A few days later he won a lottery of 2 million dollars. Art Todditor an officer employee received the letter and forgot it It had to leave his hands within 96 hours. He lost his job. Later finding the letter again. He mailed 20 copies. Within a few days he found a better job.
Delon Fairchild received the letter and not believing it he threw the letter away 9 day later he died. Remember send no money. Please don’t ignore this. It works.
NOTE: All spelling and grammar errors as received Pass this prayer along or die It was a beautiful day when I went to pick up the mail. Little did I know what would be waiting for me. It was the promise of quick riches disguised as a prayer for good luck. It also told me that I would possibly die if I didn’t send out 20 copies to friends and associates. Most of the office staff received the same letter. After seeing mine and recognizing the handwriting they knew what they had to do. They threw them out unread and unopened in a desperate attempt to get out of their obligations and to break the continuing cycle of terror in the mail.
Myself I was trapped like a rat with my back to the wall. I had to do something or possibly die and end up another statistic written about in the chain of death and riches letters.
Then it struck me with the force of a bowling ball to the head. Just how does this prayer chain letter get updated? (See actual copy above for updates.) Is there some office someplace that you write to saying I received this letter and within days won big money? Or do lonely widows send in letters saying, “I kept telling John, an office worker, to send out the 20 copies but he called me a superstitious fool. Now he’s dead. I mailed the letters and received a fat insurance policy cheque five days later.” I don’t know but there is no office listed in the letter and I doubt the Saint Anthony De Cruz, who supposedly started this whole thing going, is doing it Then my brainpan got struck with that metaphysical bowling ball yet again as I thought, “Well who would update it and more importantly why?”
I have a conspiracy theory. It’s Canada Post and indeed possibly all the post offices in the world working together. Think long and serious about it You send out one letter. Then 20 letters are sent out Then 400 letters as each of those 20 people send out their 20. Then it escalates to 8,000. Then 160,000 and so on. Think about how much stamps cost these days and the profit potential for the post office.
Who else could keep track of the letters and their recipients? Who else would profit from this sort of scam? Have you ever noticed that knowing smile of the postal worker as you ask for the 20 stamps.
I mean a prayer in the mail for good luck? I’m sure the Creator in his infinite wisdom would prefer something a little different in the way of worship.
However just in case I’m wrong and being overly paranoid I would like you to consider the above letter from all The Nation staff to you. With The Nation’s circulation being 6,000 I think we’ve got a whole lot of good luck coming our way. I’ll keep you informed unless we get really big money or get a 20-per-cent commission from the post office for the added revenue. Maybe we’ll even get invited to join the conspiracy if we don’t write about it anymore.
One last note please don’t send us any more of these potentially deadly letter prayers, life is hard enough. Regardless though, what you do is up to you and I wish you good luck in dealing with this important issue that could bring you cash or death.
