FAST CASH

Hi people,
I hesitated about trying this and ended up in financial trouble.  Now that I have tried it, I
receive envelopes by mail with dollar bills in them. How is this possible?  Take a minute
and read.  This is not a get rich quick scheme; it is your own home business developing
mailing lists.  It is legal.  Like most people I am skeptical of things of this nature.  But,
after much thought, I have tried it out.  Honestly, it takes a lot of work on your part to
make it work.  In the end you will be satisfied.  Please read through the attached
comments and excerpts.  They are quite thorough on how this will work for you.  There is
absolutely nothing to lose on this deal!!!!

(Excerpt From Thomas Dutton Who Started This New Version)

		NEW VERSION ! 1997   (Legal Questions Addressed!)

"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 $5.00 on a
chance to make $10,000.00 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 PROCEDURE IS SIMPLE:

1) Invest your $5.00 by writing your name and address on five separate pieces of paper
along with the words: "PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING LIST:  $1 US
DOLLAR PROCESSING FEE IS ENCLOSED."  (In this way, you're not just sending
ONE dollar to someone; you're paying for a legitimate service.) Fold $1 U.S. Treasury
bill, money order, or bank note inside each piece of paper, and mail them by standard U.S.
Mail to the following five addresses:

1.  Joseph B. Phillips
2517 West 37TH Street
Lorain, OH 44053-2303

2.  Gene Toye
1601 San Francisco
Carrollton, TX 75007

3.   Carol Lee
4012 Venice Rd. #45
Sandusky, OH 44870

4. James Tweeddale
42 Brown Circle
Fredericksburg, VA 22405

5. Sam Huynh
9422 Spindlewood
Houston, TX  77083

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! You are using the Internet to
advertise your business.  What is that business?  You are assembling a mailing list of
people who are interested in home based computer and online businesses and methods of
generating income at home. Remember - people send you a small fee to be added to your
list. It is legal. What will you do with your list of thousands of names?  That's up to you. "

		MORE LEGALESE:

	This opportunity has been incorrectly described as a 'pyramid scheme' by doubters
and those unwilling to risk $10 for the chance at a huge payoff.  This is not a pyramid, and
not even as close to one as  many 'legitimized' multi-level marketing systems (Amway,
NSA, etc. etc.) The difference here is that the names above you do not remain on the list
forever -- in five rounds they are removed.  There is no residual income that continues
forever with no further effort on your part.  You can always add your name to the bottom
of the next list you see, but you start from the bottom again.
	Build your mailing list, keep good accounts, declare the income, and pay your
taxes.  By doing this you prove your business intentions, and can also take advantage of
business write-offs on your tax return.
	You need your computer, an internet account, and a spreadsheet, database or
mailing list software to conduct your business.  You will also need to drive to the bank,
the post office, the office supply store -- all of these costs can be used to offset your
income taxes.
	There really is no risk -- eat cheaper lunches for a week and you've covered the $5. 
The biggest risk is not to try.

	There's my pitch; Now back to Thomas Dutton:

" NOW HERE IS WHY THE SYSTEM WORKS:
	The internet is growing at a tremendous rate - it doubles in size every 4 months. 
Think about it.  You see those "Make Money Fast" posts more and more.  All that growth
means profits for everyone who participates. There are no losers.
	Of every 200 posts I made, I received 5 responses. That probably doesn't seem like
much.  You make $5 for every 200 posts with your name at #5. Each person who sent you
$1 now also makes 200 additional postings with your name at #4. i.e.. 1000 postings. On
average therefore, 50 people will send you $1 with your name at #4. $50.00. Your 50 new
agents make 200 postings each with your name at #3 or 10,000 postings. Average return
500 people=$500.00. They make 200 postings each with your name at #2=100,000
postings=5000 return at $1 each=$5,000.
	Finally, 5,000 people make 200 postings with your name at #1 and you get a return
of $50,000 before your name drops off the list. AND THAT'S IF EVERYONE DOWN
THE LINE MAKES ONLY 200 POSTINGS!  Total income in one cycle = $50,000.
From time to time, when you see your name no longer on the list, you take the latest
posting that appears in the newsgroups, and send out another $5, and put your name at
#5, and start posting again. Remember, 200 postings is only a guideline.  The more you
post, the greater the return.
	Lets review why you should do this.  THE ONLY COST IS $5, AND 5 STAMPS,
AND 5 ENVELOPES.  Anyone can afford $5 for such an effortless investment with such
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 $5.00 but
what are the chances of that happening?  SINCE THIS IS A BRAND NEW PROGRAM
AS OF MARCH 1, 1997, YOU'RE IN ON THE GROUND FLOOR!
	There are millions of internet users, and millions of new net surfers 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.
	Keep a list of everyone that sends you money, keep good
books, pay your taxes, and always keep an eye on the postings 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. WHAT ARE 10 DOLLARS
TO YOU? YOU DON'T NEED TO CHEAT THIS IDEA TO MAKE MONEY!!! (We
will monitor the program and if we find you have cheated by not sending your money to
your five recipients, we will just dump you out of the system). This is the easiest way that
you can make a buck.  Think how excited you'll be to open up your mailbox day after day!
Will it be $50? or $5,000?  Start making your plans, because it can happen to you.
	DON'T PASS UP THIS ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY!!!

	HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS FAST WITH YOUR WEB BROWSER:

>

>               The Fastest Way To Post To a Newsletter:
     Highlight and COPY (Ctrl-C for copy) the text of this e-mail message and PASTE it
into a text editor (Notepad) and SAVE it (as a .txt file).  After you have made the
necessary changes that are outlined above, simply COPY and PASTE the text into the
message section of the message composition window, select a Newsgroup and post it!

        ------------------------------------------------------------

            If you have Netscape 3.0 do EXACTLY the following:
1) Click on any news group like normal, THEN click on 'TO NEWS', which is on the far
left when you're in the newsgroups page.  This will bring up a box to type a message in.
2) Leave the newsgroup box like it is, CHANGE the subject box to some-thing flashy,
like, "NEED CASH $$$  READ HERE $$$" or "FAST CASH"!!!
3) Tab once and you should be ready to type.  Now, retype (only once) THIS whole
article WORD FOR WORD, except insert your name at #5, and remove #1 off the list,
plus any other small changes you think you need to make.  Keep almost all of it the
SAME!
4) When you're done typing the WHOLE article, click on FILE in THIS BOX, RIGHT
ABOVE SEND, NOT WHERE IT SAYS NETSCAPE NEWS ON THE FIRST BOX.
Click on SAVE AS when you're under FILE.  Save your article as a text file to your C: or
A: drive.  DO NOT SEND OR POST YOUR ARTICLE UNTIL YOU DO THIS.  Once
saved, move on to number 5 below. NOTE: If you don't want to type in the whole article
by hand, AND you know how to use a plain text editor (like Notepad), you can edit the
file ahead of time, then attach it as shown in step 6.
5) If you still have all of your text, send or post to this newsgroup now by just clicking
send (right below FILE, and right above Cc:).
6) Here's where you're going to post all 200.  OK, click on any news group then click on
'TO NEWS', again in the top left corner.  Leave the NEWSGROUPS BOX alone again,
put a flashy subject title in the SUBJECT BOX, hit TAB once and you're in the body of
the message. Click on ATTACHMENTS, which is below the SUBJECT BOX.  You will
get another box to come up.  Click on ATTACH FILE, then find YOUR file that you
saved; click on the file, and then click 'OPEN' now click on OK; if you did this right, you
should see your file name in the attachments box, and it will be shaded green.

Note: If you don't want to type in the whole article and you know how to use a plain text
editor (Notepad), you can edit the file ahead of time, then attach it.

                                   QUICK TIP!
You can post this message to many newsgroups at a time by simply selecting a newsgroup
near the top of the screen, hold down the SHIFT key, and then select a newsgroup near
the bottom of the screen.  All of the newsgroup in-between will also be selected.

                            IF YOU USE IE EXPLORER...
IT'S JUST AS EASY...HOLDING DOWN THE LEFT MOUSE BUTTON, highlight this
article.  then press the "crtl" key and the "c" key at the same time to copy this article. 
Then print this article for your records, to have the names of those you will be sending $1
bills to.
2) Go to the news groups and press "post an article".  A window will open. Type in your
headline in the subject area and then click in the large window below.  Press "crtl" and
then "v" and the article will be placed in the window. If you want to edit the article, do so
and then highlight and copy it again. Now every time you post the article in a new
newsgroup all you have to repeat is "ctrl" and "v" and press post.
3) That's it.  Each time you do this, all you have to do is type in a different newsgroup, so
that way, it posts to 200 DIFFERENT newsgroups, or more.

You see?  Now you just have 199 to go!! (Don't worry, each one takes about 30 seconds,
once you get used to it.)

                         REMEMBER 200 IS THE MINIMUM.
