Getting carded by the Make A Wish Foundation

I recently received a letter forwarded from a health care organization, that in turn was part of a chain letter stemming from the Make a Wish Foundation.

A seven year old boy named Craig Sheppard is trying to get into the Guinness Book of World Records by building the world's largest business card collection, but it's a race against time, because he has a brain tumor and very little time to live. The organization is requesting individual cards--one per company (i.e., not a stack of a hundred of the same card), as many different ones as you can find. The cards can be sent to:

Craig Sheppard
c/o Make A Wish Foundation
200 Perimeter Center
Atlanta, GA 30346

If any of you are in a business, have a card, or know people who have cards, send as many as you can find to the above address, ASAP!

perhaps chain letters like that should have dates, eh?

Well, I feel like a complete nit-wit. I'm so used to receiving spam emails that I forget that real mail can be spam, too! AHH!
