Is there any thing that you can do to suppress chain letters?
Here is a sample I got today.
It was emailed to me by jarvis@mtl in hopes that I could do something
to stop them.
Thanks in advance for anything you can do.

Perhaps, it is time to put out that notice about chain letters.
I am not interested in getting anyone in trouble; but I am interested
in stopping this problem.
I have included the letter.
