Hi Everybody, 

Sorry there isn't a real letter attached but I thought all of you should
get this. READ IT!!  It's about new viruses that'll kill all you've got
as well as what your friends have got if you have them in your mailbox. 
Read it and pass it along!!  We wouldn't wnat any of us to lose stuff. 
Take care!

Steph
