how to reply to a chain letter

you know those irritating chain letters that came your way into your mailbox now and then? like the one that ask you to say a prayer and pass the mail to your 10 f riends… plus a warning that if you don’t something terrible will happen to you. well, there’s one about ‘true love’ that is now going the round. my friend, martin jalleh, received one lately, and being fed-up of chain letters, he wrote back a scathing sarcastic (and funny) reply. i would like to share it with you. see below… original letter is in green colour and martin’s respond is in red.

Dear X (name of the person who sent you the letter)

Thanks for your chain letter.

Please get real

A girl asked a guy if he thought she was pretty, he said…no.
Normally a girl who believes that she is pretty does not even bother to ask the guy what he thinks.

She asked him if he would want to be with her forever….and he said no.
She would not want to be with him even for another second, after all he has such low self-esteem in not being able to see beauty in another.

She then asked him if she were to leave would he cry, and once again he replied with a no.
She then said if he was to leave her, she would cry …

She had heard enough.
You bet!

As she walked away, tears streaming down her face the boy grabbed her arm and said…
As she walked away with tears of joy streaming down her face the boy grabbed her arm and said…

You’re not pretty you’re beautiful.
And she replied: You sound very dumb and desperate.

I dont want to be with you forever. I NEED to be with you forever.
And she added: Alas! I did not know you were so pathetic.

And I wouldnt cry if you walked away… I’d die…
And the girl said, good, then drop dead!

Send this to everyone on your list…….isn’t that sweet?
No it isn’t. It’s silly, not sweet. Can’t you find something more creative.

I like you because of who you are to me.
I liked you before you sent me this chain letter.

You are a true friend, if I don’t get this back I’ll take a hint.
Because you are my true friend I am sending this back and not giving you any hint — I am telling you now that you are an asshole for believing in and sending me such crap

Tonight at midnight your true love will realize they like you.
Something good will happen to you at 1:00-4:00pm tomorrow, it could be anywhere aol, yahoo, outside of school, anywhere. Get ready for the biggest shock of your life.
You are very right — by tomorrow I will be blocking any future chain letters coming from you!

If you break this chain letter you will be cursed with 10 relationship problems for the next ten years. If you send 15ppl this in 15 min you’re safe
I have been cursed long before receiving your chain lettter — it was the very moment I gave you my e-mail address. And I am not going to send it to 15 people in 15 mins — after all I have already been cursed!
