A postal inspector warned that participation in a U S savings bond chain letter could bring a fine up to 1000 dollars or two to five years in prison. Houston banks reported many buyers as the letter asks each entrant to buy a 25 dollar bond and pass another 25 dollar bond to the top of the chain. The scheme, circulated by hand, violates postal lottery and fraud laws since bonds are mailed.
