His wish was to be in the guinness Book of world records for receiving the greatest number of get Well cards. The boys name is Craig Shergold. Several months ago i read a piece in the press saying Craig a dream had become a reality. He surpassed another English lad a leukaemia victim who had received 1,000,265 cards which put him in the guinness Book of world records. Marion Shergold Craig smother announced that he had received More than 33 million get Well cards from All Over the world including cards from former president Reagan president Bush Margaret Thatcher and Mikhail Gorbachev. She said her family is very grateful for the overwhelming generosity but. Now she Hopes people will Stop sending cards ,�?� mrs. Shergold said a we Are still receiving thousands every Day and have no place to store meanwhile continue to be. Swamped with readers asking me to print a plea in my column for More cards. I decided to follow up on Craig a Story so i contacted the make a wish foundation which had worked with the she golds. The people there told me that John Kluge a Virginia billionaire arranged for a brain surgeon in Charlottesville va., to operate on Craig. Kluge brought the entire Shergold family to the United states so they could be present for the surgery. Then i called Marion Shergold in London. She told me the surgery was a great Success and that Craig is doing beautifully and is expected to live a full life. She also said a this is like a fairy tale. Things like this done to happen in real life. Or. Kluge is a a her marvelous British accent mrs. Shergold said excitedly a tonight we Are having a god bless America party. About 150 people Are coming to celebrate Craig s great Good now dear readers this Lovely Story now turns a Little sour. I just received a request from a Well known Chicago Man asking me to publicize the fact that the same lad who broke the worlds record for get Well cards would now like to break another worlds record a this time for collecting the most business cards. This Man is one of dozens of affluent High profile americans who Are faxing and Chain lettering their friends on behalf of Craig so new in the Chain letter Craig a name is misspelled his age is Given As 7, when actually he is .11, and the address is incorrect. These errors set off the alarm signals in my head. 4. \ Chain letters themselves Are an abomination. I never read them nor would i foist them on anyone much less ask my readers to the Chain going. What a More Marion Shergold wants everyone to know that the she golds did not ask for business cards and they do not know what to do with the 10,000 that Are arriving daily. While they greatly appreciate the kindness of the american people they asked that i please help put a Stop to this Well meaning Effort that is turning into a Nightmare. So oooo to All the Good hearted people who May be inclined to Send a business card please done to. 1 would also like to Point out that your business card which most Likely lists your phone number and address could fall into the wrong hands and become part of the. Mother of All mailing lists. Sharp eyed scam perpetrators,.always on the Alert for suckers May figure if you a 4 fall for this you a fall for anything. 4 a c creators Syndicate. He wont go.
