Chain letter variants

Chain letters change at the edges first: the number of recipients, the deadline, the apology, and the closing promise.

FamilyCore messageVariable parts
FA-002Friendship candlerecipient count, apology line, lucky ending
FA-006Recipe revenge noteprice amount, restaurant name removed, signature block
FA-007Good-luck paragraphdeadline, count, "do not break" warning

The number usually increases in later copies. That is not a law; it is just what happens when a message is copied by someone who wants it to feel more urgent.
