Luck chain letter. Death-Lottery type. "To St. Jude" and Love title. U.S. 1990.

TO ST. JUDE

WITH LOVE, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!

THIS PAPER HAS BEEN SENT TO YOU FOR GOOD LUCK.  THE ORIGINAL
IS IN NEW ENGLAND.  IT HAS BEEN AROUND THE WORLD NINE TIMES!
THE LUCK HAS NOW BEEN SENT TO YOU.  YOU WILL RECEIVE GOOD
LUCK WITHIN FOUR DAYS OF RECEIVING THIS LETTER PROVIDED YOU,
IN TURN, SEND IT ON.

THIS IS NO JOKE.  YOU WILL RECEIVE GOOD LUCK IN THE MAIL.
SEND NO MONEY.  SEND COPIES TO PEOPLE YOU THINK NEED GOOD
LUCK.  DO NOT SEND MONEY AS FATE HAS NO PRICE.  DO NOT KEEP
THIS LETTER.  IT MUST LEAVE YOUR HANDS WITHIN 96 HOURS.

JOE ELLIOT RECEIVED $10,000 AND LOST IT BECAUSE HE BROKE THE
CHAIN.  WHILE IN THE PHILIPPINES, GENE WELCH LOST HIS WIFE
51 DAYS AFTER RECEIVING THE LETTER.  HE FAILED TO
CIRCULATE THE LETTER.  HOWEVER, BEFORE HER DEATH, HE
RECEIVED $7,775,000.00.

PLEASE SEND TWENTY COPIES AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS IN FOUR DAYS.
THE CHAIN COMES FROM VENEZUELA AND WAS WRITTEN BY SAUL
ANTHONY DE GROUP,  A MISSIONARY FROM SOUTH AFRICA.  SINCE
THE COPY MUST TOUR THE WORLD, YOU MUST MAKE TWENTY COPIES
AND SEND THEM TO FRIENDS AND ASSOCIATES.  AFTER A FEW DAYS
YOU WILL GET A SURPRISE.  THIS IS TRUE!  EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT
SUPERSTITIOUS.

DO NOTE THE FOLLOWING:  CONSTANTINE DIAS RECEIVED THE CHAIN
IN 1953.  HE ASKED HIS SECRETARY TO MAKE TWENTY COPIES AND
SEND THEM OUT.  A FEW DAYS LATER HE WON A LOTTERY OF TWO
MILLION DOLLARS.  CARLO DADDITT, AN OFFICE EMPLOYEE,
RECEIVED THE LETTER AND FORGOT IT HAD TO LEAVE HIS HANDS
WITHIN 96 HOURS.  HE LOST HIS JOB.  LATER, AFTER FINDING THE
LETTER AGAIN, HE MAILED THE TWENTY COPIES.  A FEW DAYS
LATER, HE GOT A BETTER JOB.  DALAN FAIRCHILD RECEIVED THE
LETTER AND, NOT BELIEVING, THREW THE LETTER AWAY:  NINE DAYS
LATER HE DIED.

IN 1987, THE LETTER RECEIVED BY A YOUNG WOMAN IN CALIFORNIA
WAS VERY FADED AND BARELY READABLE.  SHE PROMISED HERSELF
THAT SHE WOULD RETYPE THE LETTER AND SEND IT ON, BUT SHE PUT
IT ASIDE TO DO LATER.  SHE WAS PLAGUED BY VARIOUS PROBLEMS,
INCLUDING EXPENSIVE CAR REPAIRS:  THE LETTER DID NOT LEAVE
HER HANDS IN 96 HOURS.  SHE FINALLY RETYPED THE LETTER AS
PROMISED AND GOT A NEW CAR!

REMEMBER; SEND NO MONEY.  DO NOT IGNORE THIS!

THANK YOU ST. JUDE
IT WORKS!
