It seems to me a Christian Missionary would talk about faith and
blessings instead of luck. These sort of letters use to circulate
in the US quite a bit until they were made illegal. I do not know
of any scripture in the Bible that requires a person to forward
a letter within 95 hours or be cursed. I received several of these
letters a number of years ago and did nothing. I am still at Tek
(a blessing or a curse? :-)). Burn it.
