TO ONLY FIVE PEOPLE AND MAKE $50,000 IN CASH WITHIN ABOUT 4 WEEKS,

***PLEASE SAVE THIS FILE!***
Hello! I've got some awesome news that I think you need to take a few
minutes to read if you have ever thought "How could I make some
serious cash in a hurry???" , or been in serious debt, ready to do
almost anything to get the money needed to pay off those bill
collectors. So grab a snack, a warm cup of coffee, or a glass of your
favorite beverage, get comfortable and read about this interesting,
exciting find!
Let me start by saying that I FINALLY FOUND IT! That's right!.
found it! And I HATE GET RICH QUICK SCHEMES!! I hate those schemes
like multi-level marketing, mail-order schemes, envelope stuffing
scams, 900 number scams... the list goes on forever. I have tried
every darn get rich quick scheme out there.
I somehow got on mailing lists for people looking to make money (more
like 'desperate stupid people who will try anything for money!').
Well, when I was a teenager, these claims to 'get me rich quick'
sounded irresistible! I would shell out $14.95 here, $29.95 there,
$24.95 here, and another $49.95 there. I was desperate for money!!
So, I gave them all a chance but failed at every one of them! Maybe they
worked for some people, but not for me. Eventually, I just tossed that
JUNK MAIL
in the trash when I got the mail. I recognized it right away. I
can>smell a money scam from a mile away these days, SO I THOUGHT....
I thought I could sniff out a scam easily. WAS I WRONG!! ....I LOVE
THE INTERNET!!!
I was scanning thru a NEWSGROUP and saw an article stating to
GET CASH FAST!! I thought..."Here on the Internet?? Well, I'll just
have to see what schemes could possibly be on the internet." The
article described a way to MAIL A ONE DOLLAR BILL TO ONLY FIVE PEOPLE
AND MAKE $50, 000 IN CASH WITHIN 4 WEEKS! Well, the more I thought
about it, the more I became very curious. Why? Because of the way it
worked AND BECAUSE IT WOULD ONLY COST ME FIVE DOLLARS (AND FIVE
STAMPS), THAT'S ALL I EVER PAY....EVER!!
Ok, so the $50,000 in cash was maybe an tough amount to reach, but
it was possible. I knew that I could at least get a return of $1,000
or so. So I did it!! As per the instructions in the article, I mailed
out ('snail mail'for you e-mail fanatics) a single dollar bill to each
of the five people on the list that was contained in the article. I
included a small note, with the dollar, that stated "Please Add Me To
Your List." I then removed the first position name of the five names
listed and moved everyone up one position, and I put my name in
position five of the list. This is how the money starts rolling in!
I then took this revised article now with my name on the list and
REPOSTED IT ON AS MANY NEWSGROUPS AND LOCAL BULLETIN BOARD
MESSAGE AREAS THAT I KNEW. I then waited to watch the money come
in...prepared to maybe receive about $1000 to $1500 in cash or so....
But what a welcome surprise when those envelopes kept coming in!!! I
knew what they were as soon as I saw the return addresses from people
all over the world-Most from the U.S., but some from Canada, even some
from Australia! I tell you, THAT WAS EXCITING!! So how much did I
get in total return? $1000? $5000? Not even!!! I received a total of
$20,542!!! I couldn't believe it!!
My bills are now paid off and, after almost 10 months without
financial
worries, I am ready to do it again!!! So maybe it was possible to get
$50,000
in cash, I don't know, but IT COMPLETELY DEPENDS ON YOU, THE INDIVIDUAL!
You must follow through and repost this article everywhere you can think
of! The
number of postings you achieve will determine how much cash will arrive in
your
very own mailbox!! It's just too easy to pass up!!!
Let's review the reasons why you should do this: The only cost
factors are for the five stamps, the 5 envelopes and the 5 one dollar
bills that you send out to the listed names by snail mail (US Postal
Service Mail). Then just simply repost the article (WITH YOUR NAME
ADDED) to all the newsgroups and local BBS's you can. Then sit back
and, (ironically), enjoy walking down your driveway to your mailbox and
scoop
up your rewards!! We all have five dollars to put into such an easy
effortless investment
with SPECTACULAR REALISTIC RETURNS OF $15,000 to $25,000 in about 3-5
weeks! So HOLD OFF ON THOSE LOTTERY NUMBERS FOR TODAY,EAT AT HOME
TONIGHT INSTEAD OF TAKEOUT FROM McDONALDS AND INVEST FIVE DOLLARS
IN THIS AMAZING MONEY MAKING SYSTEM NOW!!! YOU CAN'T LOSE!!
So how do you do it exactly, you ask? I have carefully provided
the most detailed, yet straightforward instructions on how to easily
get this underway and get your cash on its way. SO, ARE YOU READY TO
MAKE SOME CASH!!!?? HERE WE GO!!!
*** THE LIST OF NAMES IS AT THE END OF THIS ARTICLE. ***
OK, Read this carefully. Get a printout of this information, if you
like, so you can easily refer to it as often as needed.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Take 5 separate pieces of paper and write on it your name and
adress with the following: "PLEASE ADD MY NAME TO YOUR LIST". THIS
CREATES A SERVICE OUT OF THIS MONEY MAKING SYSTEM AND THUS MAKING
IT COMPLETELY LEGAL. You are not just randomly sending a dollar to
someone, you are PAYING ONE DOLLAR FOR A LEGITIMATE SERVICE. Make sure
you
include your name and address. I assure you that, again, this is
completely legal! For a neat little twist, also write what slot their
name was in: "You were in slot 3", Just to add a little fun! This is
all about having fun and making money at the same time!
2. Now fold this sheet of paper around a U.S. dollar bill: go to your
bank if you don't live in the U.S.(no checks,coins or money orders),
and put them into an envelope and send it on its way to the five
people listed. The folding of the paper around the bill will insure its
arrival to its recipient. THIS STEP IS IMPORTANT!!
3. Now listen carefully, here's where you get YOUR MONEY COMING TO
YOUR MAILBOX. Look at the list of five people; remove the first
name from position one and move everyone on the list up slot one on
the list. Position 2 name will now move to the position 1 slot ,
position 3 will now become position 2, 4 will be be 3, 5 wil be 4.
Now put your name, address, zipcode AND COUNTRY in position 5, the
bottom position on the list.
4. Now upload this updated file to as many newsgroups and local
bulletin boards' message areas & file section as possible. Give a
catchy description of the file so it gets noticed!! Such as:
"NEED FAST CASH?, HERE IT IS!" or "NEED CASH TO PAY OFF
YOUR DEBTS??", etc. And the more uploads, the more money you will
make, and of course, the more money the others on the list will make
too. LET'S ALL TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER BY BEING HONEST AND BY PUTTING
FORTH 120 PERCENT INTO THIS PROFITABLE & AMAZING SYSTEM!!! You'll reap
the benefits, believe me!!! Set a goal for the number of total uploads
you'll post, such as 100 postings or more! Always have a goal in
mind!!! If you can UUE encode the file when uploading, that will make
it easier for the people to receive it and have it downloaded to their
hard drive. That way they get a copy of the article right on their
computer without hassles of viewing and then saving the article from
the File menu. Don't alter the file type, leave it as an MS-DOS Text
file. The best test is to be able to view this file using Microsoft's
Notepad for Windows 3.x or WordPad for Windows '95. If the margins
look right without making the screen slide left or right when at the
ends of the sentences, you're in business!
5. If you need help uploading, simply ask the sysop of the BBS, or
"POST" a message on a newsgroup asking how to post a file, tell them
who your Internet provider is and PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS BE GLAD TO HELP.
I would try to describe how to do it but there are simply too many
internet software packages with slightly different yet relatively
simple ways to post or upload a file. Just ask for help or look in
the help section for 'posting'. I do know that for GNN, you simply
select 'POST' then enter a catchy description under the subject box,
choose 'ATTACH', selecting 'UUE' and NOT 'TXT', then choose 'Browse'
to go look for the file. Find your text file CASH.TXT and click on it
and choose 'OK'. Place a one line statement in the main body section
of the message post screen. Something like "Download this to read how
to get cash arriving in your mailbox with no paybacks!" or whatever.
Just make sure it represents its true feasibility, NOT something
like..."Get one million dollars flooding in your mailbox in two days!"
You'll never get ANY responses!
6. And this is the step I like. JUST SIT BArticle Unavailable
