PLEASE pass this mail on to everyone you know - even to those you don't know! It is the request of a special girl who will soon leave this world due to cancer.
& Q5 p- P3 p g, uThis young girl has 6 months left to live, and as her dying wish, she wanted to send a letter telling everyone to live their life to the fullest, since she never will.+ W, L- v! t( i; e+ e& C5 U
She'll never make it to prom, graduate from high school, or get married and have a family of her own.2 d# n; b( U' j6 @
By you sending this to as many people as possible, you can give her and her family a little hope, because with every name that this is sent to, The American Cancer Society will donate 3 cents per name to her treatment and recovery plan. One guy sent this to 500 people! So I know that we can at least send it to 5 or 6. It's not even your money, just your time!
8 b, T9 _/ B8 L- m nPLEASE PASS ON AS A LAST REQUEST.
