An Ancient Prayer:
Oh Lord, we pray thee, bless us and keep us from all evil and bring us to dwell with thee above. This prayer was sent to me and is being sent around the world. Copy it and see what happens. It was said in Jesus' trial all  who wrote it were delivered from all evil and those who passed it by met with some misfortune. Copy it and send it to nine of your friends within nine days and on the tenth day some great joy will come to you. Don't break the chain. Write nine only.
