I am just interested in how many of you believe in chain letters. I just recieved a new today, that was kind of different and it made me wonder. So, read the following and then tell me if you believe in chain letters or not.

CASE 1: Kelly Sedey had one wish, for her boyfriend of three years, David Marsden, to propose to her. Then one day when she was out to lunch David proposed! She accepted, but then had to leave because she had a meeting in 20 min. When she got to her office, she noticed on her computer she had e-mail. She checked it, the usual stuff from her friends, but then she saw one that she had never gotten before. It was this letter. She simply deleted it without even reading all of it. BIG MISTAKE! Later that evening, she received a phone call from the police. It was about DAVID! He had been in an accident with an 18 wheeler. He didn't survive.

CASE 2: Take Katie Robbenson. She received this letter and being the believer that she was, she sent it to a few of her friends but didn't have enough e-mail addresses to send out the full 10 that you must. Three days later, Katie went to a masquerade ball. Later that night when she left to get to her car to go home, she was killed on the spot by a hit-and-run drunk driver.

CASE 3: Richard S. Willis sent this letter out within 45 minutes of reading it. Not even 4 hours later walking along the street to his new job interview with a really big company, when he ran into Cynthia Bell, his secret love for 5 years. Cynthia came up to him and told him of her passionate crush on him that she had had on him for 2 years. Three days later, he proposed to her and they got married. Cynthia and Richard are still married with three children, happy as ever!

This is the letter:

Around the corner I have a friend,
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it, a year is gone.

And I never see my old friends face,
For life is a swift and terrible race,
He knows I like him just as well,
As in the days when I rang his bell.

And he rang mine if, we were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men.
Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.

"Tomorrow" I say! "I will call on Jim"
"Just to show that I'm thinking of him."
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows.

Around the corner! yet miles away,
"Here's a telegram sir" "Jim died today."
And that's what we get and deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished friend.

Remember to always say what you mean.
If you love someone, tell them.
Don't be afraid to express yourself.
Reach out and tell someone what they mean to you.
Because when you decide that it is the right time it might be too late.
Seize the day.
Never have regrets.
And most importantly, stay close to your friends and family, for they have helped make you the person that you are today.

You must send this on in 3 hours after reading the letter to 10 different people. If you do this, you will receive unbelievably good luck in love. The person that you are most attracted to will soon return your feelings. If you do not, bad luck will rear it's ugly head at you. THIS IS NOT A JOKE! You have read the warnings, seen the cases, and the consequences. You MUST send this on or face dreadfully bad luck. *NOTE* The more people that you send this to, the better luck you will have.

So what do ya'll think?
 
I think you watch too much Buffy 😛

Its all superstition, no more valid than ghosts or vampires. I doubt the stories are real, or they might be worthy of being put in a reliable magazine or newspaper. If it is real, coincidence.

Then again, I could see how a chain letter could make someone so paranoid that they act differently and cause something bad to happen. Or if they send it, then I could see how it could raise their confidence and make them do something they should've done a while ago.

But overall, I'd say pure fiction.
 
i think chain letters are poo and they make you believe in nothing that matters, waste your time reading it and say alot of bull
 
I know its silly, but I'm very superstitious. I guess that I probably have had a lot of coincidences in my life, but I'd rather not chance fate. 😀
 
Yeah, but think about it this way...if they do work, all your doing is passing on possible misfortune to your friends. I mean, if you could, would you cast a spell that if your friend doesn't do something, bad things will happen to them?

Anyway, I've NEVER forwarded a chain letter, and I'm still alive...
 
I've received lots of chain letters and just tossed or deleted them. I honestly haven't noticed any changes in the patterns of my life for good or for bad because of it.
 
I've never received a chain-letter::crying2: ,i'm saddened someone doesn't want to mess with my head.......I think they're probably true though!:: hiding: (joke)

They deny what is never seen or has never been proven to even exist!
 
Uhoh I sense an argument brewing here....

I've had that chain letter three times already. It's only when you stop and think about them; how do they know of these cases if people didn't send the letter on. So how can there be proven bad luck for not sending the letter on; did the people have something bad happen so send it on with a warning note? I don't think so. Having said that I do send a lot of chain letters on, mainly because they are rude/funny/something that appeals/just plain weird and I want to freak my mates out. Yeh I'm a terrible person I know....

I've also got a chain letter I wish to post up; it's linked to our cancer awareness project, and reads as follows. I guess it's more efficient than emailing it to ten people.

A Simple Good Deed
Please tell ten friends to tell ten today! The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on "donating a mammogram" for free (pink window in the middle). This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammogram in exchange for advertising.

Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know

www.thebreastcancersite.com



AGAIN, PLEASE TELL 10 FRIENDS TO TELL 10 TODAY

Thank you
 
I send chain letters to my mates to p**s them off! There was one that started in 1996 and we got it in 1999 but me and my sister didn't carry on with it cause all my cousins wanted us to pass it through the family. How gay!?
