Dear Ann Landers,
ou are undoubtedly aware of the revival of the old chain-letter concept in the form of a pyramid. I thought you might be interested in the one I received for my birth-day. I sent it on-in two languages. Here it is to share with your readers. -Still Laughing in Lima, Peru

Dear Lima,
Chain letters are illegal in the United States, but yours is different and involves no money. Thanks for passing it on. "This chain letter was started by a woman like yourself in the hope of bringing relief to tired, discontented wives. Unlike most chain let-ters, this one does not cost anything. Just send a copy to five of your fe-male friends who are equally tired. Then, bundle up your husband, and send him to the woman whose name appears at the top of the list. Add your name to the bottom of the list. When your name comes to the top, you will receive 16,748 men. Some of them will be dandies. Have faith, and don't break the chain. One woman who broke the chain got her own husband back. At the time of this writing, a friend of mine has received 183 men. They buried her yesterday, but it took three under-takers 36 hours to get the smile off her face."

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, whatever they needed I provided. What really hurt my son and I the most was the obituary - we were not mentioned at all. Our friends (mine and hers) were appalled. I was embarrassed and upset for not just me, but for my son-who loved her also. I never been so upset. Her x-husband put his wife and kids and their grandchildren in the obituary, who my girlfriend barely knew. They live an hour away from us. I know its silly to be mad over a little section of the newspaper, but it still hurts. Will time let this devastating loss of her and this article ever go away? I am so angry at this whole situation, its not like we can go and rewrite an obituary notice.

Tell us what you think?
