     NEW VERSION ! 1997   (Legal Questions Addressed!)



   (Excerpt From Bob Novak Who Started This New Version)



        In late October of 1996, I saw an article in an

internet newsgroup telling me that I could make $50,000

within a month for an investment of only $5. I thought, "OH

YAH!! I'VE GOT A BRIDGE I'LL SELL YOU TOO!!"  It sounded

like all the rest of the "get rich quick" schemes and scams

I've seen over the past 40 years or so.



        I spoke to my attorney, a few friends, and family about

it, and they all agreed it was some kind of scam.  I can't

stand scams, because usually someone gets burned, and I

didn't want it to be me. After rejecting the idea at first,

it kind of played on my mind and I thought, "what if it

really worked?" I realized all I had to lose was $5.00, I

usually blow that much on the lottery every week anyway, so

I figured what the heck, and decided to give it a shot.



        Within two weeks I began receiving money in the mail!

Soon, hundreds, and then thousands of dollars began to roll

in.  Within 4 weeks, I had received a total of $46,812.00!

It came from everywhere in the world."  Lately, I've doubled

my efforts and the money is rolling in even faster.  I would

tell you how much but then the IRS would know also, let's

just say it's a VERY comfortable living.  Now, I am really

going to work!  If I can make as much as I have, and still

am, on a lousy $5.00 investment, why not double it and make

the "Big Bucks" twice as fast?  Anybody can afford to gamble

$10.00 on a chance to make $100,000.00 or more in a month,

especially when the business has already proven itself.



        If you follow the three steps below, there is no reason

why the same shouldn't happen to you!  This is a legitimate

investment opportunity. You invest $10, and you receive a

return on your investment.  So does the next investor.  THIS

IS NOT ILLEGAL, THIS IS NOT A CHAIN LETTER, THIS IS

PERFECTLY LEGITIMATE.  (See additional legal details below.)



 THE PROCEEDURE IS SIMPLE:



 1) Invest your $10 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 two dollars to someone; you're paying for a

legitimate service.) Fold two $1 U.S. Treasury bills, money

order, or bank note inside each piece of paper, and mail

them by standard U. S. Mail to the following five addresses:

      
 1.  P. Letersky

     P.O. Box 650, Fairfield Univ.

     Fairfield, CT 06430

 2.  Sam Schechter

     433 Kingston Ave.

     Suite 56

     Brooklyn, NY 11225
  

 3. Jim Lachien

     Rt.1 Box 2095
     
     North Ferrisburgh,Vermont 05473

 
 4.  Charles Cook

     1623 Carl St.

     Suite #3

     St. Paul, MN 55108

 5.  Rick Curtis

     PO Box 5234

     Westport, CT 06881-5234

 2) 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 the fifth one on the list. You can do

this by simply retyping the article or reposting it to other

newsgroups with the edited addresses.



 3) Post the article to at least 200 newsgroups. There are

22,000, so it shouldn't be hard to find that many. Remember,

there are no "Free Lunches" in this world so the harder you

work the more money you will make.



        You are now in the mail order investment business, and

should start seeing returns within a week or two. Of course,

the more newsgroups you post to, the greater your return

will be. If you wish to remain anonymous, you may use a

pseudonym, but make sure your address is correct.



 LEGAL ? ? ?



        People have asked me if this is really legal.  It is!
