           Dear Shoshi

Would you like to help children who started this letter in 1996?

If the chain isn't broken by the spring of 2005 it will be in the Guinness Book of World Records,

along with the names of the kids (including you) who took part in helping. So far nobody has

broken the chain! Please do not be the first one to break it!

All you have to do is retype this letter and send it by mail. Mailing is free. No stamp necessary!

All you have to do is write "Guinness Book of World Records for Children" in the spot where

the stamp would usually go. (See my envelope.) The reason you have to send it by mail is so the

Post Office knows who broke the chain.

You have 4 days to send this letter to 7 people under the age of 16. The day you got the letter is

one. In a few days you will get a letter thanking you for taking part.

THANKS A BUNCH!
                             from Shoshanah
