Subject: updated hoax

I am wondering if you have heard anything about a new twist on the Craig
Shergold hoax.  I received a letter from one of our company's vendors asking
us to send a business card to Craig SHEFORD, c/o Make a Wish Foundation, 320
Perimeter Center East, Atlanta, GA.  

The letter states:
"The Children's Make a Wish Foundation is asking businesses to participate
in a goodwill gesture.  Please take the time to send a business card from
your company to Craig Sheford at the address below.  Craig is a
SEVEN-year-old who has a brain tumor.  Unfortunately, he has very little
time to live.  He has turned to the Children's Make a Wish Foundation and
expressed a desire to be recognized by the Guiness Book of World Records for
the largest collection of business cards compiled by an individual.  Please
take the time to retype this letter on your company letterhead and send it
to twenty companies of your choice.  Make this wish come true for Carig."

I am filing this in the circular file where it belongs, but thought you
might be interested.  Thanks for you good website.
