Please take 3 minutes to read what follows because it could be one of

the best decisions you ever made. It's QUICK, HONEST, and Legal and if

the directions are followed a significant amount of money could be

made.  Why not give it at least a quick read? What have you got to
lose?

You can make an average of $50,000 within a couple of months for an

investment of only $5, if you follow these five simple steps.  This is
a

legitimate investment opportunity.  You invest $5, and you receive a

return on you investment.  So does the next investor.  NOT ILLEGAL -
NOT

A CHAIN LETTER - PERFECTLY LEGITIMATE.  If you are not interested then

don't participate, but please print this article and pass it on to

someone who may be interested so they can take advantage. The
procedure

is simple:



STEP 1 - Get 5 separate pieces of paper and write the following on
each

piece: "Please put me on your mailing list."



STEP 2 - Get 5 $1 bills and place one inside each of the 5 pieces of

paper so that the bill won't be seen through the envelope to prevent

thievery.



STEP 3 - Put the paper in each of five envelopes and mail one to each
of

the following addresses:

	

	1. H Chio
           1330 S. Barrington Ave., #10
	   Los Angeles, CA 90025
	   

	2. Jarod Blue
           2667 Montebello Rd
           Toledo, OH 43607
 	   

	   
	3. D Luna
           2401 Summit View
	   Grand Prairie, TX 75050

	    

	4. D. WONG
           3707 Gainborough Ter
	   Fremont, CA 94555

	    
        5. A Kwan
           2915 Taraval St. #1
           San Francisco, CA 94116
 
            


STEP 4 - Now remove the top name from the list, and move the other
four

names up. In other words, #5 becomes #4 and so on.  Put your name as
#5

on the list. You can do this by simply retyping the article or
reposting

it to other newsgroups with edited addresses.



STEP 5 - Post the article to at least 350 newsgroups. 



You are now in the mail order investment business and should start

seeing returns within several weeks. Of course, the more newsgroups
you

post to, the greater your return will be. If you wish to remain

anonymous, you may use a  psuedonym but MAKE SURE YOUR ADDRESS IS

CORRECT! IS THIS LEGAL? Yes it is! You are using the Internet to

advertise your business. What is your business? You are assembling a

mailing list of people who are interested in home-based computer and

online businesses as a method of generating income at home. People
send

you a small fee to be added to your list. This is legal. What will you

do with your list of thousands of names? This is up to you. You may
sell

it to direct marketing firms, share it, or whatever else you want to
do.

Either way, the money received is legal income. 

FOLLOW THE RULES They are tried and true, they are legal and they work

if everyone is honest. Also, be sure to keep a record of everyone who

sends you a request. This is your mailing list and the more it grows,

the more it will be worth to you, and to others, such as direct

marketing firms, who may wish to purchase your list at a later date. 

HERE IS WHY THE SYSTEM WORKS The Internet is growing at a tremendous

rate - it doubles in size every four months. Think about it. All that

growth means profits for everyone who participates. There are no
losers.

Even if you only make a few hundred dollars you still turned a profit.

Statistics show that an average response rate is about 3%. So for
every

350 postings you make you should receive an average of ten responses.

Yes, only 10. You will make $10 for every 350 postings with your name
at

#5. Each of the 10 people who sent you $1 now also make 350 additional

postings with your name at #4. 10x350=3500 postings. These 10 people

should get back 10 responses each. 10x10=100 responses therefore 100

people will send you $1 with your name at #4. $100. Your new 100
agents

make 350 postings each with your name at #3 or 35,000 postings.
Average

return is 1000 responses therefore $1000. These 1000 make 350 postings

each with your name at #2 or 350,000 postings. Average return is
10,000

responses therefore $10,000. These final 10,000 people make 350
postings

with your name at #1 and you get a return of $100,000 before your name

drops off the list. The total possible income of one cycle is

$10+$100+$1,000+$10,000+$100,000=$111,110!THAT IS IF EVERYONE
DOWN-LINE

MAKES ONLY 350 POSTINGS!! From time to time, when you see your name no

longer on the list, you take the latest posting that appears in the

newsgroups and send out another $5, putting your name at #5, and start

posting again. This keeps the cycle going. Remember, 350 posting is
only

a guideline. The more you post, the greater the return. The reason why

the average total income is around $50,000 is because the inevitable

loss of people down-line due to the lack of faith in the system and

because of people adding their names to the list and not sending $5.
THE

ONLY COST IS $5, 5 STAMPS AND 5 ENVELOPES. Anyone can afford to invest

$5, especially when the returns are so spectacular. Some people have

said, "What happens if the idea is played out and no one sends me the

money?". Big Deal, so you lose $5 - but the chances of that happening

are minimal because there are millions of Internet users and tens of

thousands of new Net surfers every month. Remember - read the

instructions carefully and play fairly. That's the only way this will

work. Get a printout so you can refer back to this article easily. Try

to keep a list of everyone that sends you money and always keep an eye

on the postings to make sure everyone is playing fairly. You know
where

your name should be. REMEMBER - HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY. YOU DO NOT

NEED TO CHEAT THIS IDEA TO MAKE MONEY!! This is the easiest way that
you

can make a buck. Think how excited you'll be to open up your mailbox
day

after day! Will it be $49? $122? Give it a chance..you will be

surprised.

Note: The average percent rate stated, 3%, refers to statistics 

from earlier letters of this sort - national ones. Why exclude people 

outside the U.S. from this system? The only additional cost is 

international stamps and some trips to the local currency change

place for those living outside America. The advantages are 

immense - you expand the number of your potential answerers from 

U.S. residents to ANYONE connected to the net today. The percent rate 

may stay the same (in which case, you gain more anyway because the 

total number of readers is much greater), but may also *rise* if
people

understand how this letter is more effective than others.

HOW TO POST NEWSGROUPS FAST WITH YOUR WEB BROWSER: If you have
Netscape

3.0 do exactly the following: 1)Click on any newsgroup like normal,
THEN

click on 'TO NEWS' which is on the far left when you're in the

newsgroups page. This will bring up a box to type a message in. 2)
Leave

the newsgroup box like it is, CHANGE the subject box to something

flashy, like, "NEED CASH$$$READ HERE$$$" or "FAST CASH!!!" 3) Tab once

and you should be ready to type. Now, retype THIS whole article WORD
FOR

WORD, except insert your name at #5, and remove #1 off the list, plus

any other small changes you think you need to make 4) When you're done

typing the WHOLE article, click on FILE in THIS BOX, RIGHT ABOVE SEND,

NOT WHERE IT SAYS NETSCAPE NEWS ON THE FIRST BOX. Click on SAVE AS
when

you're done under FILE. Save your article as text file to your hard

drive. DO NOT SEND OR POST YOUR ARTICLE UNTIL YOU DO THIS. Once saved,

move on the number 5 below. NOTE: If you don't want to type the whole

article by hand, AND you know how to use a plain text editor (like

Notepad) you can edit the file ahead of time, then attach it as shown
in

step 6. 5) If you still have all of your text, send or post to this

newsgroup now by just clicking send, which is right below FILE, and

right above Cc: 6) Here's where you are going to post all 350. OK,
click

on any newsgroup then click on TO NEWS, again in the top left corner.

Leave the NEWSGROUPS BOX alone again, put a flashy subject title in
the

SUBJECT BOX, hit TAB once you're in the body of the message. Click on

ATTACHMENTS, which is below the SUBJECT BOX. You will get another box
to

come up. Click on ATTACH FILE, then find YOUR file. If you did this

right, you should see your file name in the attachments box, and it
will

be shaded green. NOTE: If you don't want to type in the whole article

and you know how to use a plain text editor (Notepad), you can edit
the

file ahead of time, then attach it. 



If you have IE EXPLORER it is just as easy: 1) HOLDING DOWN THE LEFT

MOUSE BUTTON, highlight this article. Then press the "ctrl" key and
the

"c" key at the same time to copy this article. Then print this article

for your records, to have the names of those you will be sending $1 to

2) Go to the news groups and press "post an article". A window will

open. Type in your headline in the subject area and then click in the

large window below. Press "crtl" and the "v" and the article will be

placed in the window. If you want to edit the article, do so and then

highlight and copy it again. Now every time you post the article in a

new newsgroup all you have to repeat is "ctrl" and "v" and press post.

3) That's it. Each time you do this, all you have to do is type in a

different newsgroup, so that way it posts to 350 DIFFERENT newsgroups,

or more. (NOTE: If you have an easier way to post your edited article
to

newsgroups please add that information to the above. Thanks!



REMEMBER 350 IS THE MINIMUM. The more you post the more money you will

receive. THAT'S IT!! THESE ARE THE ONLY STEPS!! GOOD LUCK!!
