Amy Bruce

Type
Chain letter
Description

This chain letter has been spread around the internet since the late 1990s.

The email is false, and the Make-A-Wish foundation has a longstanding policy of not participating in chain letter campaigns.

The text of the chain letter typically reads as follows:

Hi, my name is Amy Bruce. I am 7 years old, and I have severe lung cancer from second hand smoke. I also have a large tumor in my brain, from repeated beatings The doctors say I will die soon if this isn't fixed, and my family can't pay the bills. The Make A Wish Foundation, has agreed to donate 7 cents for every name on this list. For those of you who send this along, I thank you so much, but for those who don't send it, what goes around comes around. Have a Heart, please send this.

Important

If you receive this or a similar message, please do not forward it to your friends and colleagues. Forwarding unsolicited chain letters wastes time and bandwidth.
