back to information in Polish

A chain letter is circulated about a 14-month-old child from Poland who suffered a severe burn.

Basically, the story is true. A girl whose name is Ola (a diminutive form of Aleksandra) Kuczma experienced a severe burn during a fire in her parents' house in a village near Sanok (south-eastern Poland). The tragic accident happened in June 2005.

Ola had to (and will have to) undergo serious (and expensive) medical treatment. The girl's parents asked public for help.

Unfortunately, some versions of the chain letter contain — instead of bank account numbers and other useful details — false information that 3 grosz (about 1 US cent) or 3 cents will be paid for each e-mail sent. This is a hoax — such payment schema is technically unfeasible.

If you have any questions or some more information, just send me an e-mail: fg@atrapa.net.
