Legal Question in Business Law in Alabama
Money making letter
I recently recieved, I guess what is a chain letter where you send a dollar with a piece of paper with your name and say put me on your list, to the five names on the list then send out a number of letters to people from apurchased list and put your name on the list in the letter for people to send a dollar. after you letter has been mailed by 5 different groups you name rotates off of the list. When you recive the dollars and the slips of paper record the peoples name and deposit the money. Be sure to pay taxes on it. It also refere to title 18 sections 1302and 1342 of the US postal lottery laws. Is this legal.
Thank you for you time

No, I wouldn't fool with it. Chain letters are illegal, and could get you indicted for mail fraud. STAY AWAY!!!
