:Dear NetFolks,
:
:We would appreciate your responding to the request of Craig Shergold who
:is a seven year old boy with an inoperable tumor on his brain.
:
:He has not been given a very long time to live and it is Craig's ambition
:to enter the Guiness Book of World Records for the largest number of get
:well cards ever received by an individual.
:
:Please send your card to:
:
:     Craig Shergold
:     % Children's Make-A-Wish Foundation
:     32 Parimeter Center East
:     Atlanta, Georgia 30346

:               -------------------------------------
:
:Letters similar to this have been sent out by traditional mail to large
:organizations all across the U.S. on Craigs behalf. Instead of passing
:it on by land-mail, I thought the net would be a great way of getting 
:the word out to as many people as possible in as short a time as possible.
:
:Please pitch-in & send Craig a get well card, and by all means feel free
:to circulate this letter to local businesses/organizations, or other
:BBS's you may belong to. All your help and effort will certainly be 
:appreciated! Thank you.

:                                      Sincerely,

I've got a better idea.   Let's all send Jack a get well card.  I'm
sure he'll be needing one after all the third degree flamings he's
going to get.  Isn't there anyway we can put this puppy to sleep for
good?
