The Make-A-Wish Foundation is fighting cases of mistaken identity. An Atlanta-based organization is using a name similar to that of one of the country's most popular nonprofits, which grants wishes to seriously ill children. Meanwhile, Make-A-Wish is also warning against an e-mailed chain letter that is using the national organization's name to raise money.

The Better Business Bureau of Utah is warning local donors about an Atlanta-based organization calling itself the Children's Make A Wish Foundation, the Mojave Desert News reports.

BBB representatives in Utah told the Desert News that the Children's Make A Wish Foundation may be receiving money due to its name. Christine Sharer -- chief executive officer of Utah Make-A-Wish Foundation -- says that some donations meant for the Atlanta sound-alike group have been delivered to her office by mistake.

The article also reports that businesses in the St. George area of Utah have been asked by the Atlanta sound-alike group to send business cards to an ill child in Great Britain.

The BBB of Atlanta Web site calls the business card request for the boy -- named "Craig Shergold" -- "bogus." The BBB also states there is no organization operating in the Atlanta area with the name of Children's Make A Wish Foundation.

The real Make-A-Wish Foundation is also cautioning donors about an e-mailed chain letter being distributed about a 7-year-old girl who has lung cancer and a brain tumor. The chain letter says that the girl, named "Amy," is working with the Make-A-Wish Foundation and that 7 cents will be raised each time the e-mail is forwarded.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation states this chain letter is not associated with the foundation. The Make-A-Wish Foundation reports it has located the originator of the message and is pursuing follow-up action.
