Good night, where did that come from? Granted, it wasn't a 1 dollar bill
as was asked for, but as far as things go, it's a fair ASCII representation
of a "loonie" for its size. At any rate, I don't see any need to react
quite so violently to it. Not everyone is an ASCII Rembrandt. (Or would
saying "an ASCII Normand" be more appropriate? :)
Actually, I have a harder time getting a mummy out of that than a loonie
anyway..

Does anyone else see the irony here, or is it just me?

Obviously he/she isn't aware that We Canajuns don't USE dollar bills anymore. Hence, an attempt to reproduce a Loonie (aka the Canadian $1 coin) was quickly made. Whoever made the flame follow-up ALSO doesn't know about the Loonie, or he/she tried to figure out what the H*** that funny blob was. (I can kinda get a one-eyed mummy with a Big nose and a flat mouth out of it if I squint ...) In relation to the original Art: I think it was an appropriate (and funny) response to the original post. In relation to the flame: A bit harsh, don't you think? But I see your point :-) Question: Does anyone out there have a larger, and somewhat more accurate representation of the Canadian Loonie. (or can someone, who knows what they really look like, make one? ) I'd be interested in seeing such a beast.

Actually I see:
Subject: Re: MONEY
-> [ picture of coin ]
-> ...to advertise your "talent"
-> on this worthy network.
->
-> Pax vobiscum
As the topic is "money", the closing is in Latin, the picture is of a
coin, and "talent" is in quotes and the network is "worthy", perhaps he is
making a play-on-words of the word "talent", which, if I am not mistaken,
was a Roman coin that was worth one "talent" of silver. In that case the
posting would have been meant as a joke, except he forgot to include the
smilie or the <* just kidding *> at the end. Hmm... that type of humor
is a bit too esoteric for the net. Just a thought.... ;-)
Let me share with you how I made over 46,000 last month with just
5.00.
I actually made $46,575 within 4 weeks for an investment of $5.
Initially I
thought it was a huge joke or a scam, when I read the article.
However,
after a few days, I decided to try it. Beside I had
nothing to lose. What is $5.00 anyway, I spend more than that a day.
So
I sent $5 snail mail to each of the 5 names and address specified in
the
article. I then placed my name and address in the article and post it
into 200 other newsgroups.
Two weeks later, I started to receiving money in the mail! I could not
believe it! Then a weeks later, a couple of hundred dollars is being
receive, then a weeks later, a couple of thousands, then BOOM. It come
from all over the world of different currencies.And I have receive
nearly $47,000.00
If you follow the 3 step below, there is no reason whatsoever why the
same shouldn't happen to you. IT IS LEGAL AND PERFECTLY LEGITIMATE!!
Step 1:
Write your name and address on 5 separte pieces of paper with the
words
"Please add me to your Mailing list." Fold a $1 bill note in each of
these pieces of paper and mail them to the following 5 addresses.
1. Loo Lian Wee, 160-F, Jalan Gajah Berang, 75200 Malacca. West
Malaysia.
2. Tay Bee Pin, Block 96, Margaret Drive, #14-382, Singapore
141096
3. Melvyn Ng, Block 366, Bukit Batok Street 31, #12-273,Singapore
650366
4. Law Choi Kon, 65 Jalan Bedara, Melodies Gdn, 80250, Johor
Bahru,
Malaysia
5. Lilian Lee, Blk 168, Woodlands Street 11, #02-125, Singapore
730168
Step 2:
Now remove the first name from the top of the list and place your name
and address in the 5 place, and moving everybody up one space.
Step 3:
Now post the article to at least 200 newsgroups and the money will
come
pouing in....The more you post the more you can get.
THE SYSTEM REALLY DOES WORK!!!
GOOD LUCK AND ENJOY!!
--
Take five minutes to read this and it WILL change your life.
The Internet has grown tremendously. It doubles in size every 4 months.
think about it. You see those 'Make.Money.Fast' posts more and more.
That's ... because it WORKS ! So I thought, all those new users might
make it work. And I decided to try it out, a few months ago. Besides,
whats $5.00, I spend more than that in the morning on my way to work on
coffee and cigs for the day. So I sent in my money and posted.
Everyone was calling it a scam, but there are SO many new users from
AOL, Netcom, etc. they will join in and make it work for you.
Well, two weeks later, I began recieving bucks in the mail! I couldn't
believe it! Not just a little, I mean big bucks! At first only a few
hundred dollars, then a week later, a couple of thousand, then BOOM. By
the end of the fourth week, I had recieved nearly $47,000.00. It came
from all over the world. And every bit of it perfectly legal and on the
up and up. I've been able to pay off all my bills and still had enough
left over for a nice vacation for me and my family.
Not only does it work for me, it works for other folks as well. Markus
Valppu says he made $57,883 in four weeks. Dave Manning claims he made
$53,664 in the same amount of time. Dan Shepstone says it was only
$17,000 for him. Do I know these folks? No, but when I read how they
say they did it, it made sense to me. Enough sense that I'm taking a
similar chance with $5 of my own bucks. Not a big chance, I admit--but
one with incredible potential, because $5 is all anyone ever invests in
this system. Period. That's all Markus, Dave, or Dan invested, yet
their $5 netted them tens of thousands of dollars each, in a safe,
legal, completely legitimate way. Here's how it works in 3 easy steps:
STEP 1.
Invest your $5 by writing your name and address on five seperate pieces
of paper along with the words: "PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING LIST." (In
this way, you're not just sending a dollar to someone; you're paying for
a legitimate service.) Fold a $1 bill, money order, or bank note inside
each paper, and mail them by standard mail to the following five
addresses:
1- Philippe
2104 De Mexico
Chomedey, Laval
Quebec, Canada
H7M 3C6
2- Natalie Jansen
Lancveldlaan 18
5671 CN Nuenen
Holland
3- Chad Collier
2785 Cold Springs Rd. #49
Placerville, CA 95667
4- Steve Boltinghouse
1009 Bird St.
Hannibal, MO 63401
5- Guillermo Luijk
Manuel Anton, 10, 5 D
03004 Alicante
Spain
STEP 2.
Now remove the top name from the list, and move the
other names up.This way, #5 becomes #4 and so on.
Put your name in as the fifth one on the list.
STEP 3.
Post the article to at least 250 newsgroups. There are at
least 19000 newsgroups at any given moment in time.
Try posting to as many newsgroups as you can. Remember
the more groups you post to, the more people will see your
article and send you cash!
STEP 4.
You are now in business for yourself, and should start seeing
returns within 7 to 14 days! Remember, the Internet is new
and huge. There is no way you can lose.
Now here is how and why this system works:
Out of every block of 250 posts I made, I got back 5 responses.
Yes, thats right,only 5. You make $5.00 in cash, not checks or
money orders, but real cash with your name at #5.
Each additional person who sent you $1.00 now also makes 250
additional postings with your name at #4, 1000 postings. On
average then, 50 people will send you $1.00 with your name at
#4,....$50.00 in your pocket!
Now these 50 new people will make 250 postings each with your
name at #3 or 10,000 postings. Average return, 500 people= $500.
They make 250 postings each with your name at #2= 100,000
postings=5000 returns at $1.00 each=$5,000.00 in cash!
Finally, 5,000 people make 250 postings each with your name at
#1 and you get a return of $60,000 before your name drops off
the list.And that's only if everyone down the line makes only 250
postings each! Your total income for this one cycle is $55,000.
From time to time when you see your name is no longer on the list,
you take the latest posting you can find and start all over again.
The end result depends on you. You must follow through
and repost this article everywhere you can think of.
The more postings you make, the more cash ends up in
your mailbox. It's too easy and too cheap to pass up!!!
So thats it. Pretty simple sounding stuff, huh? But believe me, it
works. There are millions of people surfing the net every day, all
day, all over the world. And 100,000 new people get on the net
every day. You know that, you've seen the stories in the paper.
So, my friend, read and follow the simple instructions and play
fair. Thats the key, and thats all there is to it. Print this out
right now so you can refer back to this article easily. Try to keep
an eye on all the postings you made to make sure everyone is
playing fairly. You know where your name should be.
If you're really not sure or still think this can't be
for real, then don't do it. But please print this article and pass it
along to someone you know who really needs the bucks, and see
what happens.
REMEMBER....HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY.YOU DON'T
NEED TO CHEAT THE BASIC IDEA TO MAKE THE BUCKS!
GOOD LUCK TO ALL, AND PLEASE PLAY FAIR AND YOU WILL
WIN AND MAKE SOME REAL INSTANT FREE CASH!
*** By the way, if you try to deceive people by posting the messages
with your name in the list and not sending the bucks to the people
already included, you will not get much. I know someone who did this
and only got about $150 (and that's after two months). Then he sent
the 5 bills, people added him to their lists, and in 4-5 weeks he had
over $10,000!
TRY IT AND YOU'LL BE HAPPY!!! :o) !!!!!!!!!!
ILLEGAL SCAM!! YOU WILL NEVER SEE A DOLLAR OF YOUR MONEY AGAIN!!! READ WHY! http://www.usps.gov/websites/depart/inspect/chainlet.htm Chain letters are a form of gambling, and sending them through the mail or delivering them in person or by computer, violates Title 18, United States Code, Section 1302, the Postal Lottery Statute. (A copy of this chain letter has been sent to this person's Internet provider and Cc'd to jcc...@uspis.gov, The U.S. Postal Inspection Service, with a list of all names involved.) A chain letter is a "get rich quick" scheme that promises that your mail box will soon be stuffed full of cash if you decide to participate. You're told you can make thousands of dollars every month if you follow the detailed instructions in the letter. A typical chain letter includes names and addresses of several individuals whom you may or may not know. You are instructed to send a certain amount of money--usually $5--to the person at the top of the list, and then eliminate that name and add yours to the bottom. You are then instructed to mail copies of the letter to a few more individuals who will hopefully repeat the entire process. The letter promises that if they follow the same procedure, your name will gradually move to the top of the list and you'll receive money -- lots of it. There's at least one problem with chain letters. They're illegal if they request money or other items of value and promise a substantial return to the participants. Chain letters are a form of gambling, and sending them through the mail (or delivering them in person or by computer, but mailing money to participate) violates Title 18, United States Code, Section 1302, the Postal Lottery Statute. (Chain letters that ask for items of minor value, like picture postcards or recipes, may be mailed, since such items are not things of value within the meaning of the law.) Recently, high-tech chain letters have begun surfacing. They may be disseminated over the Internet, or may require the copying and mailing of computer disks rather than paper. Regardless of what technology is used to advance the scheme, if the mail is used at any step along the way, it is still illegal. The main thing to remember is that a chain letter is simply a bad investment. You certainly won't get rich. You will receive little or no money. The few dollars you may get will probably not be as much as you spend making and mailing copies of the chain letter. Chain letters don't work because the promise that all participants in a chain letter will be winners is mathematically impossible. Also, many people participate, but do not send money to the person at the top of the list. Some others create a chain letter that lists their name numerous times--in various forms with different addressee. So, in reality, all the money in a chain is going to one person. Do not be fooled if the chain letter is used to sell inexpensive reports on credit, mail order sales, mailing lists, or other topics. The primary purpose is to take your money, not to sell information. "Selling" a product does not ensure legality. Be doubly suspicious if there's a claim that the U.S. Postal Service or U.S. Postal Inspection Service has declared the letter legal. This is said only to mislead you. Neither the Postal Service nor Postal Inspectors give prior approval to any chain letter. Participating in a chain letter is a losing proposition. Turn over any chain letter you receive that asks for money or other items of value to your local postmaster or nearest Postal Inspector. Write on the mailing envelope of the letter or in a separate transmittal letter, "I received this in the mail and believe it may be illegal." --
Article & Math by: Patrick Lasu
For all Chainletter- Pyramid- and other Ponzi Schemes.
Take a minute to read this. There seems to be an abundance of money
making schemes going on via Internet. Some of the schemes are probably
older than the promoters. This is an informative letter to tell you the
truth about these get-rich-quick-schemes. Please read on, there will be
Q's and A's after the facts.
"Mail a dollar to 5 people on a list, delete the first name and put
yours on the bottom. Then post it to 200 different Newsgroups." Sounds
like a good deal; however, if everybody gets 5 people to mail $5, it
doesn't take long to run out of fools and Newsgroups (fool = anybody who
invests in this, not you I hope). Here is a breakdown of the numbers,
read from left to right:
Potential
Level: No. of People: Newsgroups: Earnings:
1 5 x200 = 1,000 $ 5
2 25 x200 = 5,000 $ 25
3 125 x200 = 25,000 $ 125
4 625 Sorry, no etc.
5 3,125 more No Need
6 15,625 Newsgroups to
7 78,125 Continue
8 390,625
9 1,953,125
10 9,765,625
11 48,828,125
12 244,140,625
13 1,220,703,125
14 6,103,515,625
15 Sorry, no more people on earth
The numbers speak for themselves. If you were lucky and got in as soon
as it started, you could theoretically make $15,625. Now, that is if
you were lucky.
*** Q's and A's ***
Q: "I know of someone who made money, isn't that proof that it's
working?"
A: Yes, you can make money; however, you have to get in as soon as
possible, what are the chances of that? The other option is to start
your own chain with 5 fictitious names and addresses, or get together
with 4 other people and split the money you receive from the fools.
Q: "How much money can you make from this if you start your own chain?"
A: Quite a bundle. The nature of how its working makes it a great money
maker if you start one. Here is how it works:
As soon as it's posted, hundreds, maybe even thousands (NOT 5) of fools
will start to send in money for the first level, delete the top name and
put their name on the bottom. After a while, the first 5 people will be
out (or yourself with 5 false names), laughing all the way to the bank,
while the fools who are left are trying to catch up. If the next few
fools down the line were lucky, they might get some money from the
spillover effect. Sooner or later (actually fairly quickly), the chain
dies naturally, leaving the majority of the fools with no money.
Q: "Are there any proofs of this?"
A: Plenty, ask anybody who came in last. There are hundreds of
thousands. Another way to prove it is through statistics and the bell
curve. As soon as the chain starts, 97% of the fools that make up the
"belly" of the curve will answer the scheme. You want more proof, then
use logic: Look at the breakdown of the numbers on the top of this
letter.
Q: "How come so many people are into these scams?"
A: Greed. The people who start it up are smart but greedy. Those who
fall for it are greedy fools.
Hi There
If you are not interested in making thousands of dollars effortlessly,
then read no further. Otherwise, take five minutes to look this over
and it WILL change your life.
A little while back, I was browsing through these newsgroups, just
like you are now, and came acress an article similar to this that
said you could make thousands of dollars in weeks, with only an
initial investment of $5! So, I thought, "Yeah, right, must be a
scam",
but I was curious, like most of us, so I kept reading.
After thinking it over, talking to a few people first, I figured
what have I got to lose except for 5 stamps and $5, right? This is
from
someone who has tryed it and it worked like a charm. So I decided to
give
it a try. In my first week I made about 15 to 35 dollars.
Well, two weeks later, I began recieving big bucks in the mail! I
couldn't
believe it! And money just kept coming. At the end of the fourth
week,
I had recieved nearly $40,000.00. It came from all over the world. And
every bit of it perfectly legal and on the up and up.
Not only does it work for me, it works for everyone who has enough
sense
to stick with the rules. I have enough sense that I'm taking a
similar chance with $5 of my own. Not a big chance, I admit--but
one with incredible potential, because $5 is all anyone ever invests
in
this system - period.
Here's how it works in 3 easy steps:
STEP 1.
Invest your $5 by writing your name and address on five seperate
pieces of paper along with the words:
"PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING LIST."
In this way, you're not just sending a dollar to someone; you're
paying
for a legitimate service. Fold a $1 bill (only) between two dark
pieces
of
paper and mail them by standard U. S. Mail to the following five
addresses:
1.David C.
4243 Westervelt Place
Victoria, B.C. V8X 4Y2
2. John McRackin
P.O. Box 7548
College Station, TX 77844
3. Bryan
1350 Greens Pkwy #911
Houston, TX 77067
4. JC Conca
6640 Whitley Terrace
Los Angeles, CA 90068
5. Lance Yamamoto
1134-A 3rd Ave.
Honolulu, HI 96816
STEP 2.
Now remove the bottom name from the list, and move the
other names down.This way, #4 becomes #5 and so on.
Put your name in as the first one on the list.
STEP 3.
Post the article to at least 250 newsgroups. There are at
least 19000 newsgroups at any given moment in time.
Try posting to as many newsgroups as you can. Remember
the more groups you post to, the more people will see your
article and send you cash!
STEP 4.
You are now in business for yourself, and should start seeing
returns within 7 to 14 days! Remember, the Internet is new
and huge. There is no way you can lose.
Now here is how and why this system works:
Out of every block of 250 posts I made, I got back 5 responses.
Yes, thats right,only 5. You make $5.00 in cash, not checks or
money orders, but real cash with your name at #1.
Each additional person who sent you $1.00 now also makes 250
additional postings with your name at #2, 1000 postings. On
average then, 50 people will send you $1.00 with your name at
#2,....$50.00 in your pocket!
Now these 50 new people will make 250 postings each with your

A little while back, I was browsing these newsgroups, just
like you are now, and came across an article similar to
This that said you could make thousands of dollars within
weeks with only an initial investment of $5.00! So I
thought,"Yeah, right, this must be a scam",but like most of
us, but I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said
that you send $1.00 to each of the 5 names and address
stated in the article. You then place your own name and
adderss in the bottom of the list at #5, and post the
article in at least 200 mewsgroups.(There are thousands) No
catch, that was it.
So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people
first, I thought about trying it. I figured what have I got
to lose except 5 stamps and $5.00, right?
Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little
worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it
out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161)and they
confirmed that it is indeed legal!
Then I invested the measly $5.00.............
Well GUESS WHAT!!... with in 7 days, I started getting
money in the mail! I was shocked! I still figured it would
end soon, and didn't give it another thought. But the money
just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $20.00
to $30.00 dollars. By the end of the second week I had made
a total of over $1,000.00!!!!!! In the third week I had
over $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my
fourth week and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00
and it's still comming in .......
It's certainly worth $5.00, and 5 stamps, I spent more than
that on the lottery!!
Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, Why
it works....also, make sure you print a copy of this
article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as
you need it. The process is very simple and consists of 3
easy steps:
STEP 1: Get 5 separate pices of paper and write the
following on each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR
MAILING LIST." Now get 5 $1.00 bills and place ONE inside
EACH of the 5 pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen
through the envelope to prevent thievery. Next, place one
paper in each of the 5 envelopes and seal them. You should
now have 5 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper
stating the above phrase and a $1.00 bill. What you are
doing is creating a service by this. THIS IS PREFECTLY
LEGAL!
Mail the 5 envelpoes to the following addresses:
#1 Kent
27 Vicar Road
Anfield
Liverpool
L6 0BW
England
U.K.
#2 David West
6020 Danube Way
Orlando, FL 32807
#3 Julie Hunter
14580 S. Camp Williams Rd.
Bluffdale, Ut 84065-4903
#4 James W.
303 Redwood St.
Lake Jackson, Tx. 77566
#5 J. BENEDUCE
P.O. Box 140082
Howard Beach, NY 11414
STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see
above, move the other names up ( 5 becomes 4, 4 becomes 3,
etc...) and add YOUR Name as number 5 on the list.
STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this
article as close to original as possible. Now, post your
amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. (I think there
is close to 18,000 groups) All you need is 200, but
remember, the more you post, the more money you make!
Don't know HOW to post in the newsgroups? Well do exactly
the following:
FOR NETSCAPE USERS,
1) Click on any newsgroup, like normal. Then click on
"To News', which is in the top left corner of the newsgroup
page. This will bring up a message box.
2) Fill in the SUBJECT with a flashy title, like the
one I used, somethig to catch the eye!!!
3) Now go to the message part of the box and retype
this letter exactly as it is here, with exception of your
few changes. (remember to add your name to number 5 and
move the rest up)
4) When your done typing in the WHOLE letter, click on
'FILE' above the send button. Then, 'SAVE AS..' DO NOT SEND
YOUR ARTICLE UNTILL YOU SAVE IT. (so you don't have to type
this 200 times :-)
5) Now that you have saved the letter, go ahead and
send your first copy! (click the 'SEND' button in the top
left corner)
6) This is where you post all 200! OK, go to ANY
newsgroup article and click the 'TO NEWS'button again. Type
in your flashy subject in the 'SUBJECT BOX', then go to the
message and place your cursor here. Now click on
'ATTACHMENT" which is right below the 'SUBJECT BOX'. Click
on attach file then find your letter wherever you saved it.
Click once on your file then click 'OPEN' then click 'OK'.
If you did this right , you should see your filename in the
'ATTACHMENT BOX' and it will be shaded.
NOW POST AWAY!!
IF YOU'RE USING INTERNET EXPLORER:
It's just as easy, holding down the left mouse button,
highlight this entire article, then press the 'CTRL' key
and 'C' key at the same time to cpoy this article. Then
print the article for your records to have the names of
those you will be sending $1.00 to.
NEXT
Go to the newsgroups and press 'POST AN ARTICLE' type
in your flashy subject and click the large window below.
Press 'CTRL' and 'V' and the article will appear in the
message window. **BE SURE TO MAKE YOUR ADDRESS CHANGES TO
THE 5 NAMES.** Now re-highlight the article and re-cpoy it
so you have the changes.... then all you have to do for
each newsgroup is 'CTRL' and 'V' and press 'POST' . It's
that easy!!
THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to differnt
newsgroupes and post away, after you get the hang of it ,
it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup!
**REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE
MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF
200**
That's it! You will begin reciving money from around the
world within day's! You may eventually wany to rent a
P.O.Box due to the large amount of mail you receive. If you
wish to stay anonymous, you con invent a name to use, as
long as the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL
THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.**
Now the WHY part:
Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a
very low example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #5
on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me
$1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at
#4 and only 5 persons respond to eachh of the original 5,
that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make
200 MINIMUM postswith my name at #3 and only 5 replies
each, I will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125
persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200with my name at
#2 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an
additional $626.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of
those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name
at #1 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made
me $3,125.00!!! With a original investment of only $5.00!
AMAZING! And as I said 5 responses is actually VERY LOW!
Average is probable 20 to 30! So lets put those figures at
just 15 responses per person. Here is what you will make:
at #5 $15.00
at #4 $225.00
at #3 $3,375.00
at #2 $50,625.00
at #1 $759,375.00
When your name is no longer on the list, you just take
the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another
$5.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 5
again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is,
do you realize that thousands of people all over the world
are joining the internet and reading these articles
everyday, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So can you afford $5.00
and see if it really works?? I think so... People have
said, "what if the plan is played out and no one sends you
the money? So what! What are the chances of that happening
when there are tons of new honest users and new honest
people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everday
and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000
to 50,000 new users, every day, with thousands of those
joining the actual internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and
HONESTLY and this will work. You just have to be honest.
Make sure you print this article out RIGHT NOW, also. Try
to keep a list of everyone that sends you money and always
keep an eye on the newsgroups to make sure everyone is
playing fairly. Remember, HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY. You
don't need to cheat the basic idea to make the money!!
GOOD LUCK to all and please play fairly and reap the huge
rewards from this, which is tons of extra CASH. **By the
way, if you try to deceive people by posting the messages
with your name in the list and not sending the money to the
rest of the people already on the list, you will NOT get as
much. Someone I talked to knew someone who did that and
he only made about $150.00, and that's after seven or eight
weeks! Then he sent the 5 $1.00 bills, people added him to
their lists, and in 4-5 weeks he had over $10k. This is the
fairest and most honest way I have ever seen to share the
wealth of the world without costing anything but our
time!!! YOu also may want to buy mailing and e-mail lists
for future dollars.
Please remember to declare your extra income. Thanks
