Everyone needs to take the time and read this. Just take a break from all your other stupid bulletins about who is gonna die or if your love life will suck for 7 years and be serious and do the right thing. Repost this or you have no soul seriously. A kid needs our help so do the right thing.
Hi my name is Matt Dawson. I am 23 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!

Lets think about this for a little bit...


--- There is no such number... try doing a reverse look up on this number by ausing anywho it does not exist. Even if it were an unlisted number you can still prove that it is not a real number. The Area Code is for lower Nevada... The second three digits are the prefix and these coincide with the ones in Las Vegas.

--- So if there was such a person who did have this number in Las Vegas, Nevada, they probably don't anymore... They would have been inundated with so many "get well" soon phone calls he would have had to change his number...

--- Have you tried to call the number? Do you know anyone who has?

--- There is no way any foundation is going to be able to check up on how often this message is reposted, e-mailed or anything else. mySpace might be able to check, but even for them it would be very difficult.

--- There is no in-obtrusive way for you to check this. There is no website where you can check how Matt Dawson is doing. So you have to call someone at home - with the risk of intruding on their dying process or their healing process. Either way: not a good idea. Since there is no way of checking when the message was sent for the first time, you also have no way of checking whether it is still relevant - if it even was relevant to begin with.

--- The Make a Wish Foundation does have a website and actually warns against this kind of chain letter...

In conclusion I know we all want to be good people but let us not get abused because of our generosity.
