I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while back,
I
was browsing through 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 $6.00! So I thought, Yeah right,
this
must be a scam"�, but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading.
Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address
stated
in the article.

You then place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at #6,
and
post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. (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 6
stamps
and $6.00, right?"� Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!!
within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I figured
it
would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made
about $25.00. 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 coming in rapidly. It'�s certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I
have 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. I promise you that if you follow the directions
exactly,
that you will start making more money than you thought possible by doing
something so easy! Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (print it
out or download it.)

Follow the simple directions and watch the money come in! It'�s easy. It'�s
legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus postage) IMPORTANT: This is
not
a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not illegal; and it is virtually no
risk -
it really works!!!! If all
of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary
dividends. PLEASE NOTE: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000
or
more can be yours in 20 to 60 days.

This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the
participants. Please continue its success by carefully adhering to the
instructions. You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this
business your product is not solid and tangible, it'�s a service. You are in
the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are happy
to
pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money
made from the mailing lists is secondary to the income which is made from
people like you and me asking to be included in that list. Here are the 4
easy
steps to success:

STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece
of
paper "�PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST."� Now get 6 US $1.00 bills and
place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen
through the envelope (to prevent thievery). Next, place one paper in each of
the 6 envelopes and seal them, MAKE SURE THAT THERE ARE ENOUGH STAMPS ON
YOUR
ENVELOPES. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of
paper
stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00 bill. What you
are
doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting a
legitimate service and you are paying for it! 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! Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:

#1) Stephanie Hall 3230 S.W. 93rd Street Oklahoma City, Ok 73159
#2) J.R. Shaw 110 Elm Street Apt.#2 Struthers, OH 44471
#3) Neil Ehringer 617 Blake Dr. Ozark, Al. 36360
#4) Albert Avila, 2208 Febrero, El Paso, TX 79935
#5) William Stokes 5413 Blackthorne Ave. Lakewood, CA 90712
#6) E.G. Burner 290 Kingwood Ave. NW Salem, OR 97304

STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other
names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR Name as number 6 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 are close to 24,000 groups) All you need is 200,
but
remember, the more you post, the more money you make! ** EVERYBODY AROUND
THE
WORLD CAN DO IT, BUT REMEMBER TO PUT ENOUGH STAMPS ON YOUR EVELOPES!!!!**
This
is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 &
1341
of the Postal lottery laws.

Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money, you
can
use it again, and again. PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains
successful
because of the honesty and integrity of the participants and by their
carefully
adhering to the directions. Look at it this way. If you are of integrity,
the
program will continue and the money that so many others have received will
come
your way.

NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you, either on a
computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you. This VERIFIES that
you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might be a good idea to wrap
the
$1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail theft.) So, as each post is
downloaded and the directions carefully followed, six members will be
reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer with one dollar each.
Your name will move up the list geometrically so that when your name reaches
the #1 position you will be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What
an
opportunity for only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six people listed
above) Send it now, add your own name to the list and you'�re in business!

---DIRECTIONS ----- FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS------------

Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own
posting.
Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your cursor
to
the bottom of this document, and select '�copy'� from the edit menu. This
will copy the entire letter into the computer'�s memory.
Step 2) Open a blank '�notepad'� file and place your cursor at the top of
the blank page. From the '�edit'� menu select '�paste'�. This will
paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the
list.

Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your
postings in different settings, you'�ll always have this file to go back to.

Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for various
newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.)

Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by
highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit menu.
Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they
scroll
through the list of postings in a particular group, click the post message
button. You'�re done with your first one! Congratulations...THAT'�S IT! All
you have to do is jump to different newsgroups 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 (Message-boards etc.) THE MORE
MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200 That'�s it! You
will begin receiving money from around the world within days! You may
eventually want to rent a P.O.Box due to the large amount of mail you will
receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as
long
as the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE THE ADDRESS IS CORRECT**
Say I
receive only 5 replies (a very low example). So then I made $5.00 with my
name
at #6 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 #5 and only 5 persons respond to
each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each
make
200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring
in
an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the
MINIMUM
200 with my name at #3 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 #2 and they each only receive 5
replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!!

Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my
name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive
$15,625,00! With an original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your
name
is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the
newsgroups,
and send out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number
6
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 $6.00 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
everyday 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 really work. You might have
already been thinking how are you going to stop people from copying this
message with their name at #6 and not sending a dollar to the first six on
there. Here'�s the deal. The six people own the rights to this service, now
they aren'�t the only ones that own these rights. To get these rights you
have to purchase them from the six people on this list. Why do you have to
buy
them from all 6 you ask? That'�s what makes this service work. If you decide
to break these rules, that'�s when it becomes illegal, and that is why you
must be fair to everyone! This is like, so awesome! So try it right now!
okay?
Make huge bucks in just a few short weeks!
