Evidently not as I got one in the mail on Friday.They obviously suck people in.
As the letter said you had to pick 200 names from the phone book (and mine was obviously one of them), I can guarantee this is how the conversation went in their neck of the caravan park:
Moron who responds to chain letters: Oh yeah, I know. I'm just gonna pick people's last names from the phone book who have last names of cool stuff that I like, heh, heh.
De-facto of moron: [high-pitched] oh yeah, look for last names like Woodstock, Bourbon, Jack, Daniels, Southern, Comfort, Ford, Porno...
MWRTCL: heh, heh - that's a good one. Whaddya reckon we will buy when we win all this money?
D-FOM: Oh yeah, heaps of stuff. We could open a shop. Tell me ex to get stuffed.
MWRTCL: I'm gonna go to the post office and steal a phone book tomorra so we can get people's addresses. Then I will ask me cousin to photocopy this letter 200 times so we don't have to pay for the photocopying - cause she's got a posh job in a office. I'm not tellin' her why though, cause then she will be after the money.
D-FOM: oh yeah, good one - tell her to get stuffed too.
I obviously have an over-active imagination.
However, I could guarantee this story would be marginally true by conducting one little test. nb contacted his olds and asked if they got one. Yup, you guessed it - they sure did.
What about poor little Mr & Mrs Comfort? I hope they don't fall for it.
