Guest guest Posted December 8, 2000 Report Share Posted December 8, 2000 REPUTABLE CHARITIES LIKE THE MAKE A WISH FOUNDATION, CANCER SOCIETY, ETC. DO NOT ASK SICK PEOPLE FOR MONEY. THEY DO NOT JERK SICK CHILDREN AROUND!!!! The letter you sent to the list is some idiot's idea of fun. The good news is that there are caring and compassionate people like Katrina on this list--people who care about sick children and wish to make a difference. The bad news is that, in most cases, these horrible sad stories (which always make me cry) invariably turn out to be Internet hoaxes or someone's cruel idea of a joke. Oh, please, please think before forwarding these 'Internet chain letters'. It just encourages these cretins to continue their idiocy, and turns many people off to charities and people with true and real problems. There have been so many different 'scams' that I think most people just delete them without reading them. Whenever in doubt, please contact the charity named in the letter. I'm sure that they will be happy to let you know that they would never be cruel enough to make a sick child 'jump through hoops' in this manner, and to let you know where and how you can make a charitible donation that *will* make a difference. Thank you, Katrina, for caring. You have a good heart. * * * * * * * * * * Every 3.6 seconds someone dies of hunger.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2000 Report Share Posted December 8, 2000 Hi Richard! I applaud you for making a statement on the above-mentioned subject. I think it's about time someone stood up to these bogus e-mails that seem to keep circulating through the internet. What especially upsets me is the statement they make that bad luck will come to you if you don't forward this message or what goes around comes around! This is no way to treat our internet friends! Thank you again for your eloquent message! Nancy Thousands of Stores. Millions of Products. / Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
