I received this email from a little girl who needs our help:

Hi, my name is Amy Bruce. I am 7 years old, and I have a large tumor on my brain and severe lung cancer. The doctors say I will die soon if this isn't fixed, and my family can't pay the bills. "The Make A Wish Foundation" has agreed to donate 7 cents for every time this message is reposted. For those of you who repost, I thank you so much. But for those who don't repost it, I will still pray for you. Please, if you are a kind person, have a heart. Please, please, PLEASE REPOST THIS MESSAGE!

You should probably delete this. Make-A-Wish Foundation does not participate in such

Wow.

Thanks, Mzuri. I had no idea, and I'm so busy and swamped with email.

Talk about sick people!

Unfortunately, only Troy can delete things from this board after they've been up for longer than 10 minutes.

So he will have to delete it.

www.snopes.com is an urban legend site with a lot of insight on various current online pity scams, including this one.
