It does seem heartshattering, doesn't it? This poor cancerstricken girl who
won't live more than 6 months. And there we have the American Cancer Society
which will donate 3 cents to her for every address this is forwarded to.
And, as the final punch, the mail originates with professor Dennis Shields
at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
Wow.
I must forward this to everyone I know.
Wait.
Consider this:
When was this mail originally sent? A month ago? Or perhaps it was more than
6 months? Perhaps this little girl is already dead?
There was a similar chainletter going around the world where the recipients
were asked to send a postcard to this sick boy. A year after he died, his
parents went to the newspapers and begged people to stop sending them. It
hurt too much.
How will the American Cancer Society decide how much they should donate to
the girl? Are they in league with the NSA, who monitors all sorts of
electronic communication? There is _no way_ they can know if you forward
this to 1, 100 or nobody.
And this Professor Dennis Shields. Do you know him? I sure don't. Have you
taken a look at the way he uses the language? Does professors of medicine
write stuff such as "come on you guys...and if you're too selfish to take
10-15 minutes scrolling this and forwarding it to EVERYONE, you are one sick
person." This is not a man who has spent 14 years in high-brow schools. No
way.
I am sure that you are compassionate people. Take a look around you. Look
at all the old people, the poor, the lonely. Give them a smile or a minute
of your time.
Much better than spending time on scams.
Namaste,
Haakon
