This chain was started in hope of bringing prosperity within 3 days. Make 5 copies of this letter leaving off the top name and adding your name at the bottom and mail to 5 of your friends to whom you wish prosperity to come in. Omitting the top name send that person 10 ct (wrapped in paper) as a charity donation.
In turn as your name leaves the top you will receive 15,625 letters with donations amounting to $1562.50.
Is this worth a dime of your money? Have the faith
your friends have had and this chain will never be broken.
