Luck chain letter (postcard). Blind13. "Oh Lord,
be merciful upon us and all nations." "... you will receive $16." US,
1940.
Oh Lord, be merciful upon us and
all nations. This is the prayer of safety. This must go around the world.
If you fail to send it a misfortune will enter your home. As soon as you get
this card, copy and send it to 13 persons and on the 13th day great happiness
will fall upon you and you will receive $16.
One woman made fun of this and her daughter went blind. Pay attention and
the Lord will bless you. Please don't let this die in your home. Read the
18th Psalm.
