That makes the claim a hoax.
It could be true at some level if it were someone putting the thoughts of someone who died from cancer into a chain letter though.
Would still be a bloody nuisance having your mailbox flooded with dozens of the things (which is likely to happen if you have some gullible people who've put your name into their address books) or your ISP gets swamped with them and mail delivery is disrupted (likely to happen if your ISP is AOHell or another n00by level ISP).
As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

This article needs somebody playing the violin in the background.
No one died when Clinton lied.

Darn, a hoax, I had tears in my eyes when I read this.
I upped my sanitary measures, up yours!
Does it matter if it is or isn't. I think the last paragraph has a damn good point.
I am female. I like wrestling. I am not gay. BITE ME.

Check my profile for large version of avatar. It's worth it ;)

Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

I too refuse to live a victim complex.

You are very wrong about this - no chain letters, no prayer requests, sometimes you just have to accept your fate - all of us will die sooner or later - some people like myself choose to be logical about it - writing down one's thoughts and wishes is a lot better than sitting around crying all the time. I hope you never have to go through this - words cannot describe what goes through your mind...
