>What you are doing is creating a service by this. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY
>LEGAL! Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:

>: #1) Matt Clusker
>: 63 Harmon Road
>: Glenville, NY 12302
>
>: #2) Matt Johnson
>: 120 Quail Lane
>:Palatka, FL 32177

>: #3)Jon Thomason
>: 11 Snowhill Meadows
>: Foley, MO 36617

>: Hamilton, Ontario, Canada L8H 1B9
>
>: #6) Joel Chabot
>:106 Clancy Drive
>:Saskatoon. Saskatchewan, Canada
>:S7M-4L2
>
>: 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 is close to
>24,000 groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the
>
>more money you make! ---DIRECTIONS ----- 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 computers 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
>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 receiving money from around the world
>
>within days! You may eventually wany 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 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 #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 a 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 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.
