Internet Plea To Help Baby Natalie
Myth Or Real?
By Norwood Professionals


Recently we received the following message from a good friend:

If you delete this you have no heart I swear!
Hello, My name is Krista Marie and I have anew born baby named Natalie. She means the world me, and just recently, the docrs have discovered that my little Natalie has Brain Cancer. Unfortunately my husband and I don't have the money pay for the bill. But my husband and I have worked out a deal with AOL and they have agreed give us 5 cents each person that received this e-mail. So please, forward this everyone you know, and help out my little Natalie and I.

-Krista Marie

The following was our reponse to all of the emailers in the chain:

Recently you received correspondence a family member or friend expressing concern for a stranger. That is a wonderful, we applaud you for doing what you can help others.

Primarily because of the mass concern Prosperity (the board Game), in conjunction with Norwood Professionals is willing co-sponsor this charitable cause. They have committed also donate 5cents for each email forwarded for the next two months.

Prosperity board game would like examine the merits of the case, as such they would like contact Krista Marie and/or her husband; please them Prosperity by way of http://www.funwithwealth.com/.

Please note, although the charitable funds of Prosperity is limited, they are willing examine all matters of mass concern. If, after final investigation, Prosperity determines that the charitable concern has merit, they will fund the project. Athough we can’t imagine how AOL will figure out how many times correspondence was sent in order fund the project, Prosperity will fund the project in the following manner concerned email participants must individually send a copy of the Prosperity game box image (no purchase necessary) along with the subject line of the project “Help Baby Natalie” prosperity.game@gmail.com. Each participant will receive a confirmation of interest. At the end of the collection period a second email will be sent each participate informing them that the project is closed, emails marked ‘undeliverable’ will not be funded. A final tally will be made then a final email will be sent each participate informing them of the tal amount of funds contributed to “Help baby Natalie.”

This project expires September 1st 2005, please contact Krista Marie and/or her husband so she/him or they can contact Prosperity immediately.

Sincerely

Norwood Professionals
