Hi there,
Take a few minutes to read this & it could change your whole
life forever and make you "YA YOU"! an entrepeneur at the same
time. And Make you very rich!
________________________________________________________________________
The internet has grown tremendously. It doubles in size every 4 months.
Think about it!!! You see those "Make Money Fast" post more & more.
Thats......................Because it WORKS!!!!!!!
The first time I saw one of these postings, I thought that it was a some
kind of gimmik. As I looked further into this opportunity, it started
to look more and more interesting. While I was not planning to get rich
on this opportunity and there was nothing to loose except $5.00 and 5
stamps, so I bit. The money coming in was slow at first, but as time
wore on, it kept coming and coming. I was able to take care of a few
bills that I just could not zero out and had a few buck left over to
spend on myself. If you read the information below and follow it as it
is spelled out, there is no reason why you should not reap the benefits
that other have received.

READ THIS!!!!!
NEW VERSION FOR 1997!! (Legal questions addressed!!)
In late October of 1996, I saw an article in an internet
newsgroup
telling
me that I could make $50,000.00 within a month for an investment of only
$5.00. I thought, "OH YEAH!!! 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 few years.
I spoke to my attorney, a few friends and my wife 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 $41,219.00! 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! Anybody can afford
to
gamble $5.00 on a chance to make $35,000.00 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 $5.00, 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
seperate
pieces of paper along with the words: "PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING
LIST."
(In this way, you're not just sending a dollar to someone; you're
paying
for a legitimate service.) Fold on $1.00 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.) Silvestre Domingo Magos
1833 Vicente Dr.
San Luis Obispo, CA 93405
2.) L. Lehr
329 Lafayette Rd.
Carneys Point, NJ 08069-2543
3.) C.A.
PO Box 2341
Kokomo IN 46904
4.) P.S.
7108 Katella Ave. #321
Stanton, CA 90680
5.) T. Person
931 W.19th st.#17
Costa Mesa,Calif 92627
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 and 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 address is correct.
LEGAL ???
People have asked me if this is really legal, and 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 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.
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 roughly 5 responses. That
probably
doesn't seem like much. You make $5.00 for every 200 posts with your
name
at #5.
Each person who sent you $1.00 now also makes 200 additional
postings
with
your name at #4. i.e. 1000 postings. On average, 50 people will send
you
$1.00 with your name at #4. That's $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 returns at $1.00 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
$5.00, 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 $5.00, 5
STAMPS,
AND
5 ENVELOPES. Anyone can afford $5.00 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
JANUARY
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 IS $5.00 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 $50.00 or $5,000.00?? Start making
your
plans, because it can happen to you.
DON'T PASS UP THIS ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY!!!

on
the far left when you're in the Newsgroup page. This will bring up a

to type a message in.
2) Leave the Newsgroup box like it is, CHANGE the subject box to
something
flashy like, "NEED CASH $$$ READ HERE $$$" or "FAST CASH"!!!
3) Tab once and you should be ready to type. Now, retype (only once)
THIS
entire article WORD FOR WORD, except insert your name at #5, and remove
#1
off the list, plus anyother 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

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
just by clicking send, which is right below FILE, and right above Cc:.
6) Here's where you're going to post to all 200. OK, click on any
Newsgroup 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

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 wil 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 Newsgroups
in
between will also be selected.
IF YOU USE INTERNET EXPLORER IT'S JUST AS EASY...HOLDING DOWN THE LEFT
MOUSE BUTTON, highlight this article. Then press the "control" 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 $1.00
bills.
Go to the Newsgroup and press "post an article". A window will open.
Type
in your headline in the subject area then click in the large window
below.
Press "control" and the "v" keys and the article will be placed in the

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 do is press "control" and "v" and press post.
That's all there is to it. Each time you do this, all you have to do is
type in a different Newsgroup, until you have posted it to 200 or more
DIFFERENT Newsgroups.
You see? Now you just have 199 more to go!!! (Don't worry each one
takes
about 30 seconds, once you get used to it.)
REMEMBER 200 IS THE MINIMUM. The more you post the more money you will
receive. AND THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT!!!
DON'T LET THIS ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY PASS YOU BY!!! START
ENJOYING THE GOOD LIFE, YOU DESERVE IT!!!
