I recently received a chain mail letter and would like to know if anyone
out there would like to see a copy of it posted here?  Its an example
of a mind virus or meme as defined by R. Dawkins.  Another example is
the meme that exists in the last two ALife conference proceedings.

I won't post it unless there is a request from the readers of this 
group to see it.  It may be of interest to those researching this
area.

Its a snail-mail letter by the way.
