Luck chain letter. Good Luck with Linkage, no Affirmation.
Started by a British army officer. US, 1926.
Dear Friend:
This good luck letter was sent to me by a friend and I am sending it to
you and others. I am asking you not to break this chain but to copy the complete
letter and send it to nine of your friends whom you wish good luck. This
letter was started by a British army officer and should go around the world
three times.
Do not break this chain as those who do will have bad luck. Write nine
letters and mail within 24 hours and on the ninth day good luck will come
to you through life.

"'Good Luck' Cycl (sic) Again Coming to Residents Though Barred from Mails."
"Several complaints have been received at the Postoffice regarding
the good luck chain letters received by residents here and in many cases
signed by persons who apparently wish to keep their identity a secret by
signing doubtful initials... More than a dozen complaints have been received
this week." Entered by DWV, Feb. 26, 2014.
