Dear Amos ,

       AUSTRALIAN KIDS STARTED THIS LETTER IN 1986. IF IT
DOESN'T BREAK UNTIL DECEMBER 2001, IT WILL BE A
GUINNESS WORLD RECORD! SO FAR, NO ONE HAS BROKEN
IT!

              You MUST post mail this because the post offices
are keeping track of it. You must also write on the front of the
envelope "Post Office: This is a Guinness World Record Chain
Letter" and hi-light it! Rewrite all of the names on the back of
the envelope including your own. Add your name after mine,
(last) but drop the first name on the top of the list. You MUST
do this in four days or the chain is broken.

                                                 Your FRIEND,
                                                   Kevin

    PS-TO SEND THIS LETTER, RETYPE IT AND SEND
IT TO 5 OF OTHER FRIENDS.
