	A letter very similar to this actually showed up in our office
about two weeks ago. One of our secretaries thoughtfully foisted her
20 copies onto the rest of us (right before she left for Germany).
It's not the first time I've seen it - it made the rounds of my home
town around 10 years ago. I routinely rip such things up and throw
them away.
	Actually, the best chain-letter I've ever seen is a joke. It
tells women who are dissatified with their husbands to send him to the
first name on the list, add their names to the bottom, and send out 
ten copies. "One woman got 2 dozen great guys this way.  She died but
it took 6 undertakers 3 days to get the smile off her face. Another
woman broke the chain and got her own son-of-a-bitch back."
