Yes. Delete them. If you're too superstitious then send them to me, and I'll delete them, my luck can't get any worse. |

it says it was started in 1996 and if it s not broken will be publshed in guinness world records for children book along with all the childrens names. it asks to write 7 ltters to your friends unders sixteen and then add your name n to the list of the names on the outside of the envelope . Then it says please take part in bold capital letters. I have taken it back to school as not happy with it . My daughter imagined her name would be in the book but if it has gone from 1996 which 1 doubt there would be no room for all those names. She was upset when I told her shes not taking part. the whole idea of chain letter appalls me and this one is aimed at the young. Kim... oops have changed my name by mistake... |

This old chesnut rears it's ugly head every once in a while. It takes on many different stories but always mentions it's for "The Guiness Book of Records". Agree with the others. Bin it! Don't think schools should be encouraging chain letters. |

I think chain letters are an imposition, especially when they come from friends. Just dump them in the bin. I've been breaking chains for years, and I'm stil |

Chain letter are for the gullible. If money is involved, like pyramid selling, its a con. Someone will get a lot of money but it won't be you. |

NO MONEY was involved but it is fooling the children if they think their name is to be printed. Thanks guys for all your good advice . the website is interesting too. Just thinking of all those letters without stamps the post office must be having to deal with now. KIM |
