nightly news program (USA).

> His mother was cleaning and putting laundry away when she came across a
large brown paper bag
> that was suspiciously buried beneath some clothes and a skateboard in the
back of her 15-year-old
> son's closet. Nothing could have prepared her for the shock she got when
she opened the bag and
> found it was full of cash. Five dollar bills, twenties, fifties and
hundreds - all neatly rubber-banded in
> labeled piles.
>
> "My first thought was that he had robbed a bank", says the 41-year-old
woman, "There was over
> $71,000 dollars in that bag - that's more than my husband earns in a
year".
>
> The woman immediately called her husband at the car-dealership where he
worked to tell him what
> she'd discovered. He came home right away and they drove together to the
boy's school and
> picked him up. Little did they suspect that where the money came from was
more shocking than
> actually finding it in the closet.
>
> As it turns out, the boy had been sending out via E-mail on the Internet a
type of 'chain-letter' to
> E-mail addresses that he obtained off of the Internet. Everyday after
school for the past 2 months,
> he had been doing this right on his computer in his bedroom.
>
> "I just got the E-mail one day and I figured what the heck, I put my name
on it like the instructions
> said and I started sending it out", says the clever 15-year-old.
>
> The E-mail letter listed 3 addresses and contained instructions to send
one $5 dollar bill to the
> person at the top of the list, then delete that address and move the other
2 addresses up, and finally
> to add your name to the bottom of the list. The letter goes on to state
that you would receive
> several thousand dollars in five dollar bills within 2 weeks if you sent
out the letter with your name
> at the bottom of the 3-address list "I get junk E-mail all the time, and I
really didn't think it was
> gonna work", the boy continues.
>
> Within the first few days of sending out the E-mail, the Post Office Box
that his parents had gotten
> him for his video-game magazine subscriptions began to fill up with not
magazines, but envelopes
> containing $5 dollar bills.
>
> "About a week later I rode [my bike] down to the post office and my box
had 1 magazine and
> about 300 envelopes stuffed in it. There was also a yellow slip that said
I had to go up to the [post
> office] counter- I thought I was in trouble or something (laughs)". He
goes on, "I went up to the
> counter and they had a whole box of more mail for me. I had to ride back
home and empty out my
> backpack 'cause I couldn't carry it all".
>
> Over the next few weeks, the boy continued sending out the E-mail. "The
money just kept coming
> in and I just kept sorting it and stashing it in the closet, I barely had
time for my homework". He
> had also been riding his bike to several of the area's banks and
exchanging the $5 bills for twenties,
> fifties and hundreds. "I didn't want the banks to get suspicious so I kept
riding to different banks
with like five thousand at a time in my backpack. I would usually tell
the
lady at the bank counter
that my dad had sent me in [to exchange the money] and he was outside
waiting for me. One time
the lady gave me a really strange look and told me that she wouldn't
be
able to do it for me and my
dad would have to come in and do it, but I just rode to the next bank
down
the street (laughs).
 
" Surprisingly, the boy didn't have any reason to be afraid. The
reporting
news team examined and
investigated the so-called 'chain-letter' the boy was sending out and
found that it wasn't a
chain-letter at all. In fact, it was completely legal according to US
Postal and Lottery Laws, Title
18, Section 1302 and 1341, or Title 18, Section 3005 in the US code,
also
in the code of federal
regulations, Volume 16, Sections 255 and 436, which state a product or
service must be
exchanged for money received.
 
Every five dollar bill that he received contained a little note that
read,
"Please add me to your
mailing list". This simple note made the letter legal because he was
exchanging a service (adding the
purchaser's name to his mailing list) for a five dollar fee.
 
Here is the letter that the 15-year-old was sending out by E-mail, you
can
do the exact same thing
he was doing, simply by following the instructions in this letter.
 
Here are instructions on how to make $10,000 US cash in the next 2
weeks:
 
There are 3 addresses listed below.
 
Send the person at the top of the list a $5 bill wrapped in 2 pieces
of
paper (to securely hide it),
along with a note that says: "Please add me to your mailing list".
 
Then delete that name, move the other 2 up and put your name at the
bottom.
 
Now start sending this ENTIRE e-mail back out to people.
 
When 20 people receive it, those 20 people will move your name up to
the
middle position and
they will each send out 20. That totals 400 people that will receive
this
letter with your name in the
middle.
 
Then, those 400 people will move your name up to the top and they will
each send out 20 E-mails.
That totals 8,000 people that will receive this E-mail with your name
at
the top and they will each
send you a $5 bill.
 
8,000 people each sending you a $5 bill = $40,000 cash. That's if
everyone
responds to this
E-mail, but not everyone will, so you can expect more realistically to
receive about $10,000 in cash
($5 bills) in your mailbox.
 
This will work for anyone, anywhere in the world in any country, but
send
only a US CASH $5 bill.
 

The more E-mails you send out, the more cash you will receive. If each
person sends out 100 E-mails, there will be 1,000,000
people that receive this letter when your name reaches the top. If
only 1% of those people respond, you will still get $50,000
cash.
 
Here is the list:
 
1 - Brandon Wheeler
    1210 Fulton Ave.
    Alexandria, IN  46001
 
2 - Guy Foran
     3 Braywin Drive
     Toronto, Ont. Canada
     M9P 2N9
 
3 - A Kaczenski II
    93 Northfield Road
    Erving, MA 01344
 
THERE'S NOTHING MORE TO DO. When your name reaches the top in a few
days, you will start receiving $5 bills from
other
people just like yourself, who are willing to invest a $5 bill to
receive $10,000 cash.
 
If you don't try it - you will never know.
