**"NOTE"*** With 15 to 20 thousand new users signing up for the internet
monthly this is not unrealistic!!!!!.
How much is your time worth? Would you be willing to spend less than an
hour of time and under $10 to earn yourself up to $50,000 or more???
I have some incredable news for you that I think you will want to take a
few minutes to read.
If you have ever thought "Gee, I wish I had some extra cash," or
wished you could pay off some of your debts, or wished you could afford
to buy that special someone a gift, then please read on! This is a copy
of a post that I printed and added to. Trust me, read on!! Let me start
by saying,I FINALLY FOUND IT!!!
Thats right , a way to make some cash by expending very little effort. I
have been tempted by those "make fast money and get rich quick
schemes"that I see posted every day and I am a true skeptic like many
others, But I tried this and WOW!! For a one time investment that costs
less than a meal at your favorite fast food joint you can start earing
money in your mailbox!!!
There"s no big costs, no credit cards required, and no 20 year wait. Its
all done over the inter net, and it's quick!!!
I was scanning through a NEWS GROUP and saw this article "Turn $5 into
$50,000."I have also seen other postings of this article under diferent
headings but I had time to spare, so I read it, and it made perfect
sense and was very low risk! Why, because all it would cost me was $5
and 5 stamps.THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO PAY EVER! OK, so the $50,000 may be a
little hard to reach,but it may be possible! So I said yes Why Not, even
a fraction of $50 Grand would be great, but if it flopped and I only
made a Hundred bucks it would be worth the small investment. I also
figured at worst I should be able to at least make back my $5 and would
be out nothing. I also figured that $5 is not going to break anyone so
the response could be worth a small investment. I told you I am a
skeptic. So I tried. I just couldn't believe it when the envelopes
started to arrive. Not one or two but hundereds of them! And they keep
comming! The letters are from all over the US,canada and many other
countries. Needless to say it is very exciting.
Lets review why you should do this: In being Honest the only cost is
$5, 5 stamps and 5 envelopes, and the time it takes to repost this
letter.Then, just run to the mailbox and watch the money come in! YOU
COULD EASILY EXPECT RETURNS OF THOUSANDS $ IN AS FEW AS 3-8 WEEKS!
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Write "please add my name to your mailing list"on a sheet of paper.
This makes this all perfectly legal because you are paying someone a
dollar for a legitimate service. Make sure you include your name and
address to assure that this is perfectly legal.
2. Now fold this sheet of paper around a one dollar bill (no checks).
THIS IS IMPORTANT as it insures its arrival to it's recipient. If you
are in a country that uses coins that are equivelent to a US dollar such
as Canada ; tape your dollar coin to a sheet of paper and fold the paper
around the coin. "DO THIS FOR ALL FIVE NAMES ON THIS LIST!!!" Put the
sheet with the dollar in the envelopes and address and mail them to the
five names on the list. P.S. don't forget the stamps. And make sure
that you put on enough postage if you are sending outside of the US.
You have just made your $5 investment.
3. Now remove the first name from the list of names, move the other
four names up one spot, and put your name,
address,city,state,zipcode,and country in position #5.
4. Now post this to as many newsgroups and local BBS message areas
that you can possibly find. Give it a catchy descriptionso it
gets noticed! 'NEED FAST CASH" "HERE IT IS" or "NO SCAM", "TURN $5
INTO THOUSANDS FAST" etc. Just keep it HONEST , outlandish claims are
usually ignored. Remember the more uploads the more money you will
make! (when posting, try posting as a uue encoded file, but if not, at
least keep it in text format)
5. If you need help posting, simply ask the sysop of the BBS or post a
message on a newsgroup asking for help. Tell them who your internet
provider is and you will usually get a quick response.
6. Then sit back and watch your mailbox fill up! Expect to see a
little begin to trickle in about 2 weeks, but after about 3or 4 weeks,
THE MONEY STORM WILL START!!!
