Luck chain letter. Death-Lottery. "It works / St. Jude." Love title. Carlos dies. Retyper Gets Car.  US, 1996.

                        WITH LOVE, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE

This paper has been sent to you for Good Luck. The original is in New England.
It has been around the world nine times. The luck has been sent to you.
You will receive good luck within four days of receiving this letter, provided you in
turn send it on. This is no joke. You will receive good luck in the mail. Send no
money. Send copies to people you think need good luck. Do not send money as
fate has no price. Do not keep this letter. It must leave you hand within 96
hours. A United States Air Force officer received $470,000 as John A. Elliott
received $40,000 and lost because he broke the chain. While in the Philippines,
Gene Welch lost his wife-51 days after receiving the letter. He failed to circulate
the letter. However, before her death, he received $7,500.00. Please send
twenty copies and see what happens in four days. The chain comes from
Venezuela and was written by Saul DeCropp, a missionary from South America.
Since the copy must tour the world, you must make twenty copies and send them
to friends and associates. After few days, you will get a surprise. This is true,
even if you are not superstitious. Do note the following: Constantine Dias
received this chain in 1953. He asked his secretary to make twenty copies and
send them out. A few days later, he won a lottery of two million. Carlos Daddits,
and 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 and not believing, he
threw the letter away. Nine days later, he died. In 1982, the letter , received by a
young woman in California, was very faded and barely readable. She promised
herself that she would retype the letter and send it on. But, she set is aside to do
it later. She was plagued with various problems including expensive car repairs.
This letter did not leave her hands within 96 hours.  She finally typed the letter as
promised and got a brand new car.

Remember, do not send money, do not sign this.  It works.
