This prayer has been sent to you for good luck. The original copy is from the Netherlands. It has been around the world nine times. The luck has now been brought to you. You will receive good luck within four days of receiving this letter, provided in turn, you send it back out. DO NOT SEND MONEY, FOR FAITH HAS NO PRICE. Do not keep this letter. It must leave your hands within 96 hours after you receive it. An RAF officer received $70,000. Joe Ellito received $450,000 and lost it because he broke the chain. While in the Phillipines, General Welch lost his wife four days after he received this letter. He failed to circulate the prayer. However, before his death, he received $775,000. Please send 20 copies and see what happens to you on the fourth day. This chain comes from Venezuela, and was written by Saul Anthony deOziof, a missionary from South America. I, myself, forward it to you. Since the chain must make the tour of the world, you must make 20 identical copies to this one. Sned it to your friends, parents, or associates. After a few days you will get a suprise. This is true even if you are not superstitious. Take note of the following. Constantine Dino received the chain in 1953. He asked his secretary to make 20 copies and send them. A few days later, he won a lottery for $2,000,000 in his country. Carlo Caditt, an office employee, received the chain. He forgot it and a few days later he lost his job. He found the chain letter and sent it to 20 people. Five days later he got an even better job. Dolon Fairchild received the chain and not believing it, threw it away. Nine days later he died. For no reason whatsoever should this chain be broken. Remember, SEND NO MONEY. Please do not ignore this.
