What do you guys think about chain letters?
do you believe in them or think they're complete b.s.?
i think they're b.s. but here's one someone sent me. what do you think of this one?
here it is:

Read Alone
(Especially the Poem)

I believe whatever is in store for
us will be for us.
The poem is very true, unfortunately.
Make sure you read the poem!

CASE 1: Kelly Sedey had one wish,
for her boyfriend of three years,
David Marsden, to propose to her.
Then one day when she was out
to lunch David proposed!
She accepted, but then had to leave
because she had a meeting in 20 min.
When she got to her office,
< /SPAN>
she noticed on her computer she had some e-mail's.
She checked it, the usual stuff
from her friends, but then she saw one
that she had never gotten before.
It was this poem. She simply deleted it
without even reading all of it.
BIG MISTAKE! Later that evening,
she received a phone call from the police
It was about DAVID! He had been in an accident
with an 18 wheeler. He didn't survive!

CASE 2: Take Katie Robinson She received this poem
and being the believer that she was
she sent it to a few of her friends but
didn't have enough e-mail addresses to send out
the full 5 that you must.
Three days later, Katie went to a masquerade ball.
Later that night when she left to get to her car,
she was killed in that spot by a
hit-and-run drunk driver.
CASE 3: Richard S. Willis sent this poem out
within 45 minutes of reading it.
Not even 4 hours later walking along the street
to his new job interview with a really big company,
when he ran into Cynthia Bell,
his secret love for 5 years. Cynthia came up to him
and told him of her passionate crush on him
that she had had for 2 years.
Three days later, he proposed to her and they got married.
Cynthia and Richard are still married
with three children, happy as ever!

This is the poem:

Around the corner I have a friend,
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it, a year is gone.
And I never see my old friends face,
For life is a swift and terrible race,
He knows I like him just as well,
As in the days when I rang his bell.
And he rang mine but we were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men.
Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.
"Tomorrow" I say! "I will call on Jim
Just to show that I'm thinking of him."
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows.
Around the corner, yet miles away,
"Here's a telegram sir," "Jim died today."
And that's what we get and deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished friend.
Remember to always say what you mean.
If you love someone, tell them.
Don't be afraid to express yourself.
Reach out and tell someone what they mean to you.
Because when you decide that it is the right time it might
be too late.
Seize the day. Never have regrets.
And most importantly, stay close to your friends
and family, for they have helped
make you the person that you are today.
You must send this on in 3 hours after reading the letter
to 10 other people.
If you do this, you will receive unbelievably good luck in love.
The person that you are most attracted to wil l soon return to you.
If you do not, bad luck will rear its ugly head at you.
NOTE WELL! THIS IS NO JOKE!!
You have read the warnings, seen the cases,
and the consequences.
You MUST send this on or face dreadfully bad luck.

*NOTE*

The more people to whom you send this, the better
will be the luck you will have.
And, don't forget to SMILE . . .
even through your tears!!!!!

I've never gotten one, but I think that they're complete bullshit. People who write them have too much free time and should get jobs. People who read them instead of pressing the magical "delete" key are just as bad.

I think chain letters are just a waste of email inbox space.
