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!!
