Actually, this is a hoax, in a revamped
version.
What's more - look at the inconsistencies. On the
one hand, they claim that the girl is dying (which doesn't surprise me if
she is being treated the conventional way with chemo and all the other toxic
crap), yet they want 3 cents from people who would fall for this hoax for "her
treatment and recovery plan".

Slow Dance
Poem
Email Emotional
Blackmail
Summary of
eRumor:
An email says there is a little girl who has six months to live.
People are asked to forward the email about her to as many people as possible
because the American Cancer Society will give 3 cents per email to support her
treatment. It stars with a poem titled SLOW DANCE. The email is signed with the
name of a professor at Yeshiva University in New York.
The
Truth:
According to the American Cancer Society, the email is a hoax. The
girl in the story is never identified, the American Cancer Society has not made
any such commitment, there is no way for forwarded emails to be accounted for
even if someone wanted to make a donation for each one, and the professor named
at Yeshiva University, Dr. Dennis Shields, says he never had anything to do with
any such story. If you dial his number, you get a recording saying the story is
not true. There are several versions of this email making the rounds of the Net.
Some simply say this is a poem written by a dying girl. Others say the little
girl gave it to a medical student. Others say the poem is being circulated by a
doctor.
This seems like an attempt to play to guilt. Since I am
willing to experience guilt fully, and since I happen know a little bit about
technology and that it is not possible to track the number of these emails as is
claimed a the bottom of the message, my intuition tells me that this is more
likely a sham.
I feel disgusted by this and I decide to check this out
for myself on Google by searching for this doctor.
Lo and behold, I find
that I am exactly correct. UNQUOTE

This poem was
written by a terminally ill young girl in a New York Hospital
.
It! was sent by a medical doctor - Make sure
to read what is in the closing statement AFTER THE
POEM.
SLOW DANCE
Have you ever watched
kids
On a
merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the
ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic
flight?
Or gazed at the
sun into the fading night?
You better slow
down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't
last.
Do you run through each
day
On the fly?
When you ask How are
you?
Do you hear the
reply?
When the day is
done
Do you lie in your
bed
With the next hundred
chores
Running through your head?
You'd better slow
down
Don't dance so
fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Ever told your
child,
We'll do it
tomorrow?
And in your
haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship
die
Cause you never had
time
To call and
say,"Hi"
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so
fast.
Time is short.
The music won't
last.
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting
there.
When you worry and hurry through your
day,
It is like an unopened
gift....
Thrown
away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it
slower
Hear the music
Before the song is
over.

FORWARDED E-MAILS ARE TRACKED TO OBTAIN THE
TOTAL COUNT.
Dear All:
PLEASE pass this mail on to everyone you know
- even to those you don't know! ; It is the request of a special
girl who will soon leave this world due to cancer.
This young girl
has 6 months left to live, and as her dying wish, she wanted to send a
letter telling everyone to live their life to the fullest, since she
never will.
She'll never
make it to prom, graduate from high school, or get married and have a
family of her own.
By you sending
this to as many people as possible, you can give her and her family a
little hope, because with every name that this is sent to, The American
Cancer Society will donate 3 cents per name to her treatment and
recovery plan. One guy sent this to 500 people! So I know that we can at
least send it to 5 or 6. It's not even your money, just your time!
PLEASE PASS ON
AS A LAST REQUEST.
Dr. Dennis Shields,
Professor
Department of
Developmental and Molecular Biology
1300 Morris Park Avenue
Bronx, New York
