That is one of the oldest chain letters.  I got the thing, and burned
it, and yelled at the person who sent it to me for trying to pass a
curse (she was, as you would expect, very superstitious.)

Chain letters are against the law in the United States.  If you get such
a thing with a US postmark, contact the postmaster for the central office
indicated by the postmark.  They actively prosecute people who send such
things.
