THIS CHINESE PROVERB

BRINGS LUCK

IT ORIGINATED FROM

THE NETHERLANDS

THIS PROVERB HAS GONE 8
TIMES AROUND THE WORLD, NOW IT IS YOUR TURN TO HAVE GOOD LUCK ONCE YOU HAVE RECEIVED IT.

THIS IS NOT A JOKE

YOUR LUCK WILL COME BY MAIL OR INTERNET

SEND A COPY TO THE PERSONS THAT REALLY NEED LUCK, DO NOT SEND MONEY, BECAUSE YOU CANNOT BUY LUCK, AND DO NOT KEEP IT FOR MORE THAN 96HRS
(4 DAYS)

HERE ARE A FEW EXAMPLES OF PEOPLE THAT GOT LUCK AFTER RECEIVING THE PROVERB:

CONSTANTIN, GOT HIS FIRST IN 1953, HE ASKED HIS SECRETARY TO MAKE 20 COPIES.

NINE HOURS LATER HE WON 99MILLION IN THE LOTTERY IN HIS COUNTRY.

CARLOS, EMPLOYED RECEIVED THE SAME CARD, BUT DID NOT SEND IT, A FEW DAYS LATTER HE LOST HIS EMPLOYMENT.

DAYS LATTER HE CHANGED HIS MIND, SENT IT, AND BECAME RICH.

IN 1967, BRUNO GOT THE CARD, HE LAUGHED ABOUT IT AND DISCARDED IT, A FEW DAYS LATTER HIS SON GOT SICK.

HE LOOKED FOR THE CARD MADE 20 COPIES AND SENT THEM. NINE DAYS LATTER, HE GOT GOOD NEWS: HIS SON WAS SAFE AND SOUND.

THIS CARD HAS BEEN SENT BY ANTHONY DE CROUD, A MISSIONARY IN SOUTH AFRICA.

BEFORE 96 HOURS

YOU HAVE TO SEND THIS CARD.

YOUR LUCK WILL COME WITHIN 4 DAYS FROM THE MOMENT YOU RECEIVED THE CARD, IF YOU COMPLY TO THE WISHED EXPRESSED IN THIS CARD.

THIS IS TRUE.

THIS CARD HAS BEEN SENT FOR GOOD LUCK.

LUCK IS FINALY AT YOUR DOOR.

SEND 20 COPIES TO ACQUAINTANCES, FRIENDS AND FAMILY.

ONE DAY LATER YOU WILL GET GOOD NEWS OR A SURPRISE.

I SENT THIS CARD EXPECTING IT TO GO AROUND THE WORLD.

SEND ONLY 20 COPIES AND EXPECT GOOD TIDINGS IN THE NEXT DAYS.

IMPORTANT:

DO NOT MODIFY THE TEXT THAT I SENT YOU, COPY IT EXACTLY THE WAY YOU GOT IT.

GOOD LUCK.

obmar,

In my last newsletter I wrote that very same thing, but I added a finish to it. I wrote, "Money only causes suffering, so send me all your money and I'll suffer for you."

Very Happy

I thought it was kinda cute.
