They're illegal if they request money or other items of value and promise a substantial return to the participants. Chain letters are a form of gambling, and sending them through the mail (or delivering them in person or by computer, but mailing money to participate) violates Title 18, United States Code, Section 1302, the Postal Lottery Statute. (Chain letters that ask for items of minor value, like picture postcards or recipes, may be mailed, since such items are not things of value within the meaning of the law.)" Anyone in this chain sending money to or from an address in the US is breaking the law, in particular the statute cited above. Anyone forwarding this message to anyone in the US is inciting that person to break the law, which is also illegal. Anyone in the chain care if the matter is brought up with local law enforcement? I'm sure the Bakersfield CA and Langhorne PA police departments and USPS would be interested :) S.

Yeah, every law enforcement agency in the country has people just WAITING by the phone for someone to call and tell them about someone posting a chain letter on a newsgroup. Come on guys, why can't everyone just ignore crap like this? You are just perpetuating the thread....as am I....so I'll stop now.
