I love the way chain letters always start out so compassionate and cheery: "I've had a wonderful experience that I want to share with you! I want to make your life better because I care."

And finish up with death threats:

"Of course, you can choose to ignore this e-mail and break the chain, causing disaster to those millions of really nice people who have already participated. But then you will have bad luck for ten years, your car will be stolen many times, you'll lose all your money and be hit by a train. Best wishes!"
 
You're probably out of business cards to having sent them all to the dying boy collecting them. :D
