I heard that the marketing director at Abacus Global Support, Inc.
was dying of cancer.  He has a last wish to see if he can break the
Guiness Book of World Records for the number of sympathy cards
received before he dies.  I don't have a mailing address but perhaps
someone who got email from Global could post it?  Can everyone help
out?

Please post to as many groups as you can...

Oh yeah,

:-) :-) :-)

(I hope I didn't start something...)
