         identical to this one, and send them to your family, friends or
         aquaintances.  After a few days, you will get a surprise. Constantine

         copies and send them.  A few days later he won the lottery of alot
         of money in his country.  Carlos Brandt, an office worker, received the
         chain.  He forgot it and lost it.  A few days later he lost his job.

         job.  Zerin Berreskalli received the chain, did not believe in it, and
         threw it awayNine days later he died.  Ken Freidman, an artist, tried
