The Craig Shergold UL and chain letters have combined to create an interesting mutant offspring:
From: Parkin@MayoHospital.health.com Subject: My dying wish My name is Anthony Parkin, and you don't know me. I'm 7 years old, and I have lukemea. I found your name using gopher, and I would like for you to carry out my dying wish of starting a chain letter. Please send this letter to five people you know so I can live forever.
A Mayo spokesperson tells me: “There has not been a patient at Mayo named Anthony Parkin. There is no such e-mail address associated in any way with Mayo Foundation.” Needless to say, if you receive the above item you should not forward it.
