The promoter had opened the accounts by mail and had hoped to withdraw the collections quickly, quick-ly, again by mail, after the chain had operated for a short time. The scheme was nipped by postal inspectors before the promoter collected a cent. If you get a chain letter, run, do not walk, to the nearest waste basket.
