	Hi All,

	I recieved this letter in the mail today from a friend of mine
in the Barfo corporation.  In this letter is a request which I will
reproduce here in the hopes of reaching many more than would be
possible in the conventional sense.


Beginning of Letter
****************************************************************

	Dear Humanoid,



This letter was sent to us by a friend, requesting help for Craig
Shergold.  We would be grateful if you could respond to this
request.


Craig is a seven year old boy who has received 100 million post cards and
has very little time to live.  It is his ambition to have an entry in
the Guiness Book of World Records for the largest number of companies
*NOT SENDING GET WELL CARDS* to him.

	Please *NO NOT SEND A CARD* to:


        Craig Shergold
	36 Selby Road
	Carshalton
	Surrey SN8 1LD

Then please send a cover letter and a copy of the enclosed list to
another ten companies of your choice, adding the names of those
companies to the list.


****************************************************************
end of letter





As I am not able to reproduce the list in this news group due to
it's size I hope that all who read this might start letters of their
own of a similar nature and pass them on to another ten companies
with a new list.  If this letter lasts as long as the previous one,
it may be possible to get *EVERY COMPANY IN THE WORLD* to *NOT SEND
A POSTCARD* to Craig!



Thanks Everyone!
