My name is not important.  What is important is what happened to me.



In June 1994, my business went bankrupt because of the poor state of the 

economy.  My cars were repossessed and debt collectors were hounding me 

like you would not believe.  I owed thousands and bankruptcy seemed to 

be my only future.  My family, my reputation, my sanity and my life was

at stake.  I became very ill.



In September 1994, I saw an article in an Internet Newsgroup telling me

I could make $50,000 within 4 weeks for an investment of only $5.  I 

thought it was a huge joke!  I spoke to my friends about it and they 

thought likewise.  But after three days of desperate struggle in court

to keep from going bankrupt, I decided I had nothing to lose.



My family and I in desperation, grasped at straws and sent $1 by snail 

mail to each of the 5 names and addresses specified in the article.  We

then placed our own name and address in the article and posted it in 

200 newsgroups.



Two weeks later, I started receiving money in the mail!  I could not

believe it!  Hundreds of dollars turned into thousands, and in the next

4 weeks I had received a total of $53,654.  It came from all over the 

world.


 
If you follow the 3 steps below, there is no reason whatsoever why the 

same shouldn't happen to you.  This is a perfectly legitimate investment

opportunity.  You invest $5 and you receive a return on your investment.

So does the next investor.  NOT ILLEGAL, NOT A CHAIN LETTER - PERFECTLY

LEGITIMATE!



OBVIOUSLY, IF YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED, THEN DON'T PARTICIPATE.  BUT

PLEASE PRINT THIS ARTICLE AND GIVE IT TO SOMEONE WHO MAY WISH TO TAKE

ADVANTAGE.



The procedure is very simple.



STEP 1.  Write your name and address on 5 separate pieces of paper with

the words "PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING LIST".  Fold a $1 note or money

order or bank draft in each of the pieces of paper and mail them to the

following five addresses:



1.   Mike Evans, 3906 Old Savannah Ln. #4, Cincinnati, OH  45245

2.  Josip Kresonja, Trg(sq) Ivana Kukuljevica 6, 10000 Zagreb,
Croatia,    Europe

3.   SA Drumonde, 458 Britania Ave., Bradford, Ontario L3Z 1A7 Canada

4.  M. Cantrell, 18046 Wood Haven Dr., Prairieiville, LA  70769

5.  D. Tomlinson, 1410 W. Lambert #209, La Habra, CA  90631

 

STEP 2.  Now remove the 1st name on the list, move the other 4 names up

(5 becomes 4, 4 becomes 3, etc.) and put your name and address as number

5 on the list.  You can do this by re-typing this article or simply

editing and re-posting it in this or another Newsgroup.



STEP 3.  Post your amended article to at least 200 new groups (there are

17,000 of them).



You are now in the Mail Order Investment Business and you will start

receiving $1 returns by mail within a week or two.  The more newsgroups

you post to, the bigger your return will be.  You may want to rent a

Post Office Box to handle the volume of mail you are likely to receive.



If you wish to remain anonymous, you can use a pseudonym such as "The

Manager" or "The Investor", but make sure you address is correct!



Of every 200 postings I make, I received an average of 5 replies, YES -

ONLY 5, each with a $1 dollar bill enclosed.  You make $5 for every 200

postings WITH YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 5.



Each person who sent you $1, now also makes let's say, only 200 postings

WITH YOU NAME AT NUMBER 4, i.e. 1000 postings.  On average therefore, 50

people will send you $1 with you name at number 4.  You make $50.



Your 50 new agents make 200 postings each WITH YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 3. 

or 10,000 postings - average return at $1 each is $500.  They make 200

postings each WITH YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 2 = 100,000 postings = 5,000

returns at $1 each = $5,000.



Finally, 5,000 people make 200 postings each WITH YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 1

and you get a return of $50,000 before your name drops off the list. 

AND THAT'S IF EVERYONE DOWN THE LINE ONLY MAKES ONLY 200 POSTINGS! 

Total income in one cycle = $55,500.



From time to time, when your name is no longer on the list, you take the

latest posting that is appearing in the newsgroups, SEND OUT ANOTHER $5

TO THE NAMES THAT ARE ON THE LIST, PUT YOUR NAME IN AT NUMBER 5 AND

START POSTING AGAIN.  Remember, 200 postings in only a guideline.  The

more you post, the greater your return.



Let's review the reasons why you should do this:  THE ONLY COST FACTORS

ARE 5 STAMPS, 5 ENVELOPES, AND 5 $1 BILLS.  Anyone can afford five

dollars to put into such an effortless investment with SPECTACULAR

RETURNS.



Some people have said to me "What happens if the scheme is played out

and no one sends me any money"?  Big Deal! So you lose $5 - but what are

the chances of that happening?



Do you realize how many Internet Users there are?  Do you realize how

many times this scheme can be utilized over and over again - with

COMPLETELY NEW people participating?



There are not HUNDREDS, NOT EVEN THOUSANDS, BUT HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF

NEW INTERNET USERS 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 Newsgroup postings to make sure everyone is playing fairly. 

You know where your name should be on the list.
