Introduction
Oh no! Not again! Chain letter asking for business cards not a legitimate request
An unauthorized chain letter encouraging people to send business cards to a seriously ill boy continues to generate responses from well-intentioned people who are unaware the request is not legitimate and not affiliated with the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
The letter asks people to send business cards or greeting cards to an address in Georgia for a boy named Craig Shergold, Craig Sherwood, Craig Sheppard, Craig Sherfold or any variety of similar-sounding names. Many letters falsely state that the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America, the world’s largest wish-granting organization, is supporting the request.
If you receive a chain letter:
** Please reply to the sender and inform him or her that the Make-A-Wish Foundation does not participate in chain letters or other similar wishes via the Internet or e-mail.
** Refer the sender and all recipients to the Chain Letters section of our website.
Here are some ways people can legitimately help the Make-A-Wish Foundation and children with life-threatening medical conditions:
** Refer a child with a life-threatening medical condition for a wish experience.
** Make a donation to our chapter.
** Volunteer for our chapter.
