This IS a chain letter (despite it's assertion to the contrary) and
a hoax. Think about it a minute. The ACS has no way of knowing who
has received this letter, and certainly won't be donating money to
her treatment! That is not their purpose. Please do NOT pass that
chain letter on.
For trustworthy information about chain letters and internet hoaxes,
please see the CIAC web site:
They list this particular letter as an old and well-known chain letter.

P.S. - I apologize to those of you who endure these diatribes of mine
every time someone posts these junkmail items to an email list. It
bothers me to see a useful list subverted to discussions of trash
mail, but it bothers me even more to let it pass without comment.
I already see far too much junk email from well-intentioned but naive
Internet users.
