Subject: THANK YOU!!!!

Thank you for all your work on your Internet hoaxes page. I am a college
freshman, and I often receive a lot of mail because e-mail has become a
primary communications medium for me. Some days, half of my e-mail can
consist of these sorts of hoaxes. I have finally decided to start saying
something to everyone who sends me this crap!!!! I will always refer to your
page!

Anyway, here's another hoax, along the lines of several already found on
your page:

Hello.  My name is David Lawitts and I have severe lung and throat cancer
due
to second hand smoke.  This chain was a final attempt to help solve my
problem.  For every one person that this letter is sent to, the national
lung
and cancer association will donate 3 cents to help me and other people like
me become healthy again. If you do not pass this letter on, my life and
memory will soon both be gone. So please, try to send this to at least 10
people.  It is for a good cause.  (By the way, be sure one of the people you
send it to is "CWOVES@GEOCITIES.COM" as he keeps track of the names that
have
passed this along.) I give my blessing to those who pass this along. To
those
too selfish to take 2 minutes to do this, what goes around comes around.
Thank you.

Thanks again for keeping such a great resource!!!
