The Jessica Mydek hoax was a popular chain letter, circulated by hoaxsters, to play on the sympathy of credulous readers, and get them to respond, so as to build a sucker list.〔 〕 The letter was first observed, in the wild, in 1997.〔 (mirror ) 〕 ==The hoax== The letter represented itself as a letter from a 7-year-old girl with terminal brain cancer. She requested the email be forwarded to the recipients' email contacts, with a carbon copy to an email address the letter represented as that of the American Cancer Society. The American Cancer Society denied involvement in the campaign and determined there was no such child.〔 〕〔 mirror] 〕 The letter promised readers that the American Cancer Society had corporate donors who would donate three cents for every carbon copy of the campaign letter forwarded to a new person.〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jessica Mydek hoax letter」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
