Reno Prosperity Chain
Hope, Faith, Charity.
This chain was started in Reno in the hope of bringing happiness to all. Unlike most chains, this one does not cost any money.
Send a copy of this letter to five male friends. Then bundle up your wife and send her to the person who heads your list. When your name works to the top of the list you should receive 15,125 women.
Have faith: Do not let this chain break.
