5 ~7 _: B2 h) E" O' DPLEASE 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.
2 h' o6 T, [7 PThis 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.7 h% T, N3 ~/ X1 B1 D5 Z7 c0 M3 p
She'll never make it to prom, graduate from high school, or get married and have a family of her own.
& s# x6 M. n# NBy 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!* Z1 [" H5 W3 p8 U) [
PLEASE PASS ON AS A LAST REQUEST.
