Chain Letter Evolution Luck chain letters appeal primarily to superstition, promising good luck if the letter is replicated and bad luck if it is not. Luck chains originating in the 1900's dropped claims of divine authorship, delivery from heaven to earth, granting protection from fire or weapons, divine punishment for disbelief, and miracles generally. The Luck by Mail type also introduces "this is not a joke" and the qualification that you will receive your luck "by mail." These are now mainline universals, and we judge the latter to have been the innovation most responsible for the predominance of this type in the 1950's. www.silcom.com /~barnowl/chain-letter/evolution.html   (14179 words)
