Chain Letters?

I remember my late father getting a chain letter back in the mid-1990s when I was still a child of about ten or so. It was a handwritten letter saying that if the reader of the letter did not make a copy of the letter and pass it on to ten/twenty people terrible things would happen rather than all the good fortune that flowed from the letter. My father thought it was from a woman and he ended up either burning it or tearing it up. It's something that always sticks in my mind.
Some chain letters are harmless (though a waste of one's time!), others can be religious oriented and some may even be malicious.
I'm sure that some members here have also received these letters although there are now chain emails too.
Please share any interesting stories about such chain letters here in this thread.

Yes, I thought it would be an interesting thing to have in a Bond novel or film too. I'm surprised it's not been used thus far.
Oh well. ;%

Sorry to disappoint you Commander! I was going to make reference to that in my OP there but I was too young to remember it anyway! Every time I did an Internet search on chain letters that bloody show came up.

Believe it or not, Nap she's actually still alive, and happily in her 90th year to boot!:

I was going to say in the OP that I think there was a woman on the BBC who offered a similar service and I noticed in a newspaper a while back a question to the effect that did anything bad ever happen to her? I personally doubt it!

Yes, my reach for this thread topic confirmed that chain letters feature a lot in TV shows and You Tube TV channels too. They would be a perfect fit for a new Bond film or novel too in my view.
