Dear All<br>
<br>
Please be wary of this scam, doing the rounds again, just with new
dates. I have also notified the real "Joan Kroc" Foundation of this use
of their name. <br>
<br>
This scam has been circulated with different contact details and names
of the organising institution: the Richard Dolls Foundation, the Alpha
Foundation, etc. It is invariably circulated to NGO communities -
lists, forums etc, a few examples below:. <br>
