Indeed this is making the rounds online, and I received a hard copy via old-fashioned post about six years ago. CMC is quite good a mediating older scams. BTW, the breast cancer site and the hungersite--while not scams, per se--encourage people to solict by email traffic for their websites, ostensibly to help raise money for those causes. However, both sites are run by a for-profit company with dubious accounting practices. I can send my clips on it if anyone is interested. --g.
