> I have received the following request from Genesee Hospital in

> Craig Sherwood is a 17 year old boy suffering from terminal cancer. His

Please DO NOT respond to this request. The boys name is Craig Shergold and
he actually lives in the UK. He was actually cured of his cancer years ago.
For some reason people keep passing around mutated versions of his original
request, which was for postcards I think. The Guiness people long ago
retired this record category. It is nice to see people so willing to help a
child with a terminal condition, but in this case it isn't necessary.
> This request has been "snail-mailed" to:
<snip>
> There are another 150+ companies that this letter has been mailed to.
I hate to say this, but you really should contact all these companies again
and tell them that there has been a mistake.
Yours in Scouting,
Dave
