I've seen one nearly identical, but this is a new twist on it from the last time I saw it:

Your loving daughter, Alice

Just perfect!

Sorry, urban legend...SNOPES.COM IS YOUR FRIEND! http://www.snopes.com/humor/letters/marines.asp

If you get something in your email that seems a bit odd...chances are it's old (this one is form 2002) and it's fake.

It's Parris Island. Girls don't go to San Diego.

If my recollection serves me correctly ... I believe women recruits in the Marine Corps go thru their basic at Parris Island, SC ... not San Diego.

Pretty funny though! As I was reading it I realized that this is exactly how liberals think of conservatives.

I know it is a fake, but it is still funny.

I've seen this a bunch of times but it's the first time I notice this:

Your loving daughter, Alice

It's clearly a joke. I don't think anyone needs Snopes to tell them that.

Plus, it's amazing the shelf life of these things. I mean this one has been around for five years! I remember the first time I saw it on FR...but again, I've been a member since 1998!

This is a variation of a joke that goes back to around the height of the Roman Empire. Still, it's funny.
