FAITH-HOPE-CHARITY

This chain was started in the hopes of bringing prosperity to you. Make five (5) copies of this letter within three days, leaving off the top name and address and add your own at the bottom. Mail to five (5) friends to whom you wish prosperity to come. In omitting the top name send that person TEN CENTS (10c) wrapped in paper or between two cards as a charity donation.

In turn as your name leaves the top you will receive 15,625 letters, if this chain is not broken, with donations amounting to $1,562.50. Is this worth a dime to you?

Have the faith your friend had and this chain will not be broken.
