How to make a chain letter:
First choose what kind to make
1) threat
2) quiz
3) story/joke
4) survey
Option 1 is the most common, because they are simple and to the point, while option 3 is the most interesting. Now, once you've chosen your subject, find the corresponding Roman Numeral in order to continue.
I. Threat
*note- threats can be replaced with guilt notes, which are deep things that make you feel guilty for not being a better christian/hindu/muslim/jew/buddhist/ect... (basically, it yells at you for being an ass) THESE ARE NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH STORIES!!!
A. Beginning
1. Disclaimer
ex. "this is not like every other chain letter- it works!"
2. Pro Example
ex. "susie sent this letter and her life owned"
3. Con example
ex. "bobby didnt send this letter and his life sucked"
B. Middle
1. Story of letter's origin (note: completely fabricated)
ex. "this letter began in 1939 when there were no computers, but its authentic!"
2. MAIN TOPIC!!! (threat)
ex. "This letter, begun by (refer to above story) brings death and destruction to all!!!!"
C. End
1. Make a wish
ex. "Scroll down and make a wish before you get to the end" ::obnoxious characters::
2. Number of ppl to send to
ex. "If you send this to a million people, you will live forever"
3. What happens if you dont
a. Read but sent to 0 people
ex. "If you dont send this to anyone, the opposite of your wish will come true"
b. Read and send to less than 4
ex. "If you read this and send it to less than four ppl, get some friends"
c. Delete
ex. "If you delete this, you will die in seven days......."
D. Goodbye (threat repeat)
ex. "Remember to send this, or you'll end up like bobby"
II. Quiz
* note- this is the most unique of the options, though in a way the most monotonus. When this chain letter is sent, one feels the need to answer all the questions, despite the fact that every one asks the same questions, normally in the same order. However, the interer-activeness of this selection can make it more likely to be read by people prone to obessive-compulsive disorder like that.
A. Begining
1. Intro
ex. "Get a pen and paper ready to take this quiz!"
B. Middle
1. Quiz
a. Quetions
1) between 5-7 multiple choice
ex. "fav color, fav vacay spot, ect."
2) between 3-5 short answer
ex. "name a person of the opposite gender , name someone of the same gender, etc"
b. Wish (numbered as last question)
ex. "make a wish and scroll down!"
C. End
1. Answers
a. completely fabricated OR based on truths
1) multiple choice answers
ex. "you are loyal and trustworthy, you have a fetish for swiss cheese, etc"
2) Short answer answers
ex. "you love this person, you are a raging homosexual, etc"
b.Wish
1)Sending requirements
Law of requirements: The more people, the sooner it comes true.
ex. If you send this to 29890247 people, your wish will come true in 0.9253798 seconds.
2) Lack of sending consequences (see end of part I for details)
III. Story/joke/poem/prayer/etc.

2. Make a wish
ex. "Make a wish before the Russians bomb us!"
C. End
1. Send requrements
follow law of requirements
2. Non sending requirements (see end of Pt. I)
IV. Survey
*note- this works differently from most chain letters. Its a good way to get to know people, but is very annoying when you get about 93851287 of them in a row. They all ask the same quesitons, too. This also does not follow the general rubric like the others. It is basically comprised of only questions to answer and then send on.
A. Begining
ex. "This is the longest survey ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" (hint: it probably isnt)
B. Middle
ex. 238962487561939148 questions- from "what r u listening to" to "who are you secetly in love with?"
C. End
ex. directions for copying and pasting to send to other innocents who have no time to fill these out.
yes. truly, this is how to make a chain letter of your very own! Occasionally, there might be random cool ones, such as of course, this one, but for the most part they are just ways to clog up the E-Mail channels.
Now.......send this to 923578315784 people befor 10:00 tonight and you will live forever and meet your one true love tomorrow!
If you don't, your phone will ring and a voice will tell you when you'll die.
Have a nice day!
