DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE FALSE OPPORTUNITY BELOW!! It is ILLEGAL! See
the U.S. Postal Service's confirmation of this fact at
http://www.usps.gov/websites/depart/inspect/chainlet.htm .  I am
terribly sorry that I posted these all over the internet.  If you see
letters like this anywhere on other newsgroups, please warn people about
how much more of a price may have to be paid and include the above link.
Maybe then someone else can avoid the dangers that I may now be in!
Thanks!
