>-----------------------------------------------------------
>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 click and hold down your mouse button. While
>continuing to hold down the mouse button, drag your cursor to the
>bottom of this document and over to just after the last
>character, and release the mouse button. At this point the entire
>letter should be highlighted. Then, from the 'edit' pull down
>menu at the top of your screen select 'copy'. 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' pull down menu select
>'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so
>that you can add your name to the list. Remember to eliminate the
>#1 position, move everyone up a spot (re-number everyone elses
>positions), and add yourself in as #6.
>
>Step 3.  Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want
>to do your postings in different sittings, you'll always have
>this file to go back to.
>
>----------------------------------------
>FOR NETSCAPE USERS:
>----------------------------------------
>
>Step 4.  Within the Netscape program, go to the pull-down window
>entitled 'Window' select 'NetscapeNews'. Then from the pull down
>menu 'Options', select 'Show all Newsgroups'. After a few moments
>a list of all the newsgroups on your server will show up. Click
>on any newsgroup you desire. From within this newsgroup, click on
>the 'TO NEWS' button, which should be in the top left corner of
>the newsgroups page. This will bring up a message box.
>
>Step 5.  Fill in the Subject. This will be the header that
>everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a
>particular group.
>
>Step 6.  Highlight the entire contents of your .txt file and copy
>them using the same technique as before. Go back to the newsgroup
>'TO NEWS' posting you are creating and paste the letter into the
>body of your posting.
>
>Step 7.  Hit the 'Send' Button in the upper left corner. You're
>done with your first one! Congratulations...
>
>--------------------------------------------------
>INTERNET EXPLORER USERS:
>--------------------------------------------------
>
>Step 4.  Go to newsgroups and select 'Post an Article'.
>
>Step 5.  Fill in the subject.
>
>Step 6.  Same as #6 above
>
>Step 7.  Hit the 'Post' button.
>
>-------------------------------------------
>
>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 reciving money from around the world within
>day's! You may eventually wany to rent a P.O.Box due to the large amount
>of mail you 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
>postswith 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! 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 #6 $15.00
>
>at #5 $225.00
>
>at #4 $3,375.00
>
>at #3 $50,625.00
>
>at #2 $759,375.00
>
>at #1 $11,390,625.00
>
>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.
>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 6 $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 lists for future dollars.
>
>Please remember to declare your extra income. Thanks once again...
