Chain of Good Luck
This chain of good luck was sent me via United S. Press dispatch and was
sent in 72 hours. It was started in Africa by a French Officer of General
DeGaulle and is going around the world for the first time.
The person who breaks this chain will surely receive bad luck. Don't keep
this letter. This must be mailed in 72 hours after your receipt thereof. A
private in the Philippine Army won first prize in the sweepstakes for complying
with this chain. Mr. F. D. Roosevelt was elected President of the United
States in 52 hours after he received this letter. Detective Squnda B. Villanova
of the City of Basuio who laughed at this chain of good luck met instantaneous
death in an accident on June 11, 1948. Captain Basco, who broke this chain,
died 72 hours after he received this letter.
