I DARE YOU TO READ THIS!!

Great!!  Now that I've got your attention, I emplore you to PLEASE 
read this document and decide for yourself if this sounds great or
not.  I'm the world's biggest sceptic but for five bucks I said "What
the heck" and IT WORKED!!!!  I still can't believe it.  It completely
changed my life.  If you choose to participate it can do the same
for you.  I strongly urge you to continue reading.  It could be
the smartest thing you've ever done.

 A little while back, I was browsing these 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 $5.00! So I thought, "Yeah, right, this must be a joke,"
> but like most of us I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said
> that you send $1.00 to each of the 5 names and address stated in the
> article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of the
> list at #5, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. (There
> are thousands) No catch, that was it.
 
> Well GUESS WHAT!!... with in 7 days, I started getting money in the
> mail! I was shocked! I still figured it would end soon, and didn't
> give it another thought. But the money just kept coming in. In my
> first week, I made about $20.00 to $30.00 dollars. 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 .......

SNIP

> STEP 1: Get 5 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each
> piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST."  Now get 5 $1.00
> bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 5 pieces of paper so the bill
> will not be seen through the envelope to prevent thievery. Next, place
> one paper in each of the 5 envelopes and seal them. You should now
> have 5 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above
> phrase and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service by
> this. THIS IS PERFECTLY LEGAL!
> 
> Mail the 5 envelopes to the following addresses:
> 
> 
> > #1 J. Martin
>    P.O. Box 2292

> STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the
> other names up (2 becomes 1, 3 becomes 2, etc...) and add YOUR Name as
> number 5 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 18,000 groups) All
> you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you
> make!
>  
> Don't know HOW to post in the newsgroups? Well do exactly the
> following:
> 
> FOR NETSCAPE USERS:
> 1) Click on any newsgroup, like normal. Then click on "To News", which
> is in the top left corner of the newsgroup page. This will bring up a
> message box.
> 
> 2) Fill in the SUBJECT with a flashy title, like the one I used,
> something to catch the eye!!!
> 
> 3) Now go to the message part of the box and retype this letter
> exactly as it is here, with exception of your few changes. (remember
> to add your name to number 5 and move the rest up)
> 
> 4) When your done typing in the WHOLE letter, click on 'FILE' above
> the send button. Then, 'SAVE AS..' DO NOT SEND YOUR ARTICLE UNTIL YOU
> SAVE IT. (so you don't have to type this 200 times :-)
> 
> 5) Now that you have saved the letter, go ahead and send your first
> copy! (click the 'SEND' button in the top left corner)
> 
> 6) This is where you post all 200! OK, go to ANY newsgroup article and
> click the 'TO NEWS' button again. Type in your flashy subject in the>
'SUBJECT BOX', then go to the message and place your cursor here. Now
> click on 'ATTACHMENT' which is right below the 'SUBJECT BOX'. Click on
> attach file then find your letter wherever you saved it.  Click once
> on your file then click 'OPEN' then click 'OK'.  If you did this right
> , you should see your filename in the 'ATTACHMENT BOX' and it will be
> shaded.
>  
> NOW POST AWAY!
> 
> FOR INTERNET EXPLORER:
> It's just as easy, holding down the left mouse button, highlight this
> entire article, then press the 'CTRL' key and 'C' key at the same time
> to copy this article. Then print the article for your records to have
> the names of those you will be sending $1.00 to.
>  
> Go to the newsgroups and press 'POST AN ARTICLE' type in your flashy
> subject and click the large window below. Press 'CTRL' and 'V' and the
> article will appear in the message window. **BE SURE TO MAKE YOUR
> ADDRESS CHANGES TO THE 5 NAMES.** Now re-highlight the article and
> re-copy it so you have the changes.... then all you have to do for
> each newsgroup is 'CTRL' and 'V' and press 'POST'. It's that easy!!
> 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, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL
> MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200**
> 
> **If these instructions are too complex to follow, try Forte's "Free
> Agent." It is freeware for noncommercial use. To download it, simply
> use a search utility and type "Forte Free Agent". You should be able
> to find it.**
> 
> 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 receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you con
> 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:
> 
> This entire principle works because it is in a format of an upside
> down tree with thousands of branches. Everyone below you will see to
> it that the tree continues because they want to get money. Those
> below THEM will continue because THEY want to get the cash etc.
> 
> Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low
> example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #5 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 #4 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 #3 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 #2 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 of 200 letters
> with my name at #1 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just
> made me $3,125.00!!! With a original investment of only $5.00!
> AMAZING! And as I said 5 responses is actually VERY LOW!  Average is
> probable 20 to 30! So lets put those figures at just 15 responses
> per person. Here is what you will make:
> 
> at #5 $15.00
> at #4 $225.00
> at #3 $3,375.00
> at #2 $50,625.00
> at #1 $759,375.00
> 
> When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest
> posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $5.00 to names on the
> list, putting your name at number 5 and start posting again.
> The thing to remember is that thousands of people all over the world
> are joining the Internet and reading these articles everyday, JUST
> LIKE YOU are now!! And this will go on and on and on and on.... get
> the picture? Well, there's 5,000,000,000 people on the world and
> most of them will eventually end up being hooked into the internet.
> So  there are virtually unlimited resources. Of course this will work
> the best at the very beginning so the faster you post, the better for
> YOU!
>  
> So can you afford $5.00 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 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 work. You just have
> to be honest.  Make sure you print this article out RIGHT NOW, also.
> Try to keep a list of everyone that sends you money and always keep an
> eye on the newsgroups to make sure everyone is playing fairly.
>  
> Remember, HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY. You don't need to cheat the
> basic idea to make the money!!
>  
> GOOD LUCK to all and please play fairly and reap the huge rewards from
> this, which is tons of extra CASH. **By the way, if you try to deceive
> people by posting the messages with your name in the list and not
> sending the money to the rest of the people already on the list, you
> will NOT get as much. Someone I talked to knew someone who did that
> and he only made about $150.00, and that's after seven or eight weeks!
> Then he sent the 5 $1.00 bills, people added him to their lists, and
> in 4-5 weeks he had over $10k. This is the fairest and most honest way
> I have ever seen to share the wealth of the world without costing
> anything but our time!!! You also may want to buy mailing and e-mail

> Please remember to declare your extra income.   Thanks once again...>
