ok guys,

this story has been bouncing around the net for a while.  yes it is true, but 
the kid has died already.  the parents have requested that no further letters
be sent.

the guinness book of records had closed this catagory as it bogged down the 
mail and was annoying to all.  they reopened it for this child and he got it,
but it's over now.

this story has been on soc.singles, misc.misc, and several other boards for
the past few months.  it has been debated for a long while!  please don't
start this over again, the kid has died there is no purpose for bouncing this
any longer!!
