BEFORE SETTING THIS LETTER ASIDE YOU'LL BE READING ABOUT
MAKING UP TO 100'000 OR MORE WITH A $10.00 INVESTMENT !!
!! PLEASE READ THIS !!
In late October 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 $10 . I thought, " OH YAH !!
I'VE GOT A BRIGDE I'LL SELL YOU TOO !! ". It sounded like all
the rest of the " get rich quick " schemes ans 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 works ? ". I realized
all I had to loose was $10.00, 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 than thousands of dollars began to roll in !! Within
four 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. Now, I'm really going to work !
If I can make as much as I have, and still am, on a lousy $10.00
investment, why not double it and make the "Big Bucks" twice as
fast? Anybody can afford to gamble $10.00 on a chance to make
$100'000.00 or more in a month, especially when the business has
proven itself.
If you follows the three steps below, there is no reason why the
same shouldn't happen to you! This is a legitimate investment
opportunity. You invest $10.00 and you receive a return of your
investment. So does the next investor. THIS IS NOT ILLEGAL, THIS
IS NOT A CHAIN LETTER, THIS IS PERFECTLY LEGITIMATE !! ( See
additional details below )
THE PROCEDURE IS SIMPLE :
1) Invest your $10 by writing your name and address on five separate
pieces of paper along with the words : "PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR
MAILING LIST". In this way, you're not just sending two dollars
to someone, you're paying for a legitimate service! Fold two $1 bank-
notes and send to each :
1. M. Natal
4621 Helensburgh Dr.
Chesapeake, VA
23321
( USA )
2. M. A. Clark
9214 Timberline Ct.
Grand Blanc, MI
48439
( USA )
3. Kevin Wilson
P.O. Box 9457
Chesapeake, VA
23321
( USA )
4. Scott Anderson
P.O. Box 2567
Glen Allen, VA
23058-2567
( USA )
5. Martin Sigg
Allmendstrasse 31
8154 Oberglatt
( Switzerland )
2) REMOVE THE TOP NAME FROM THE LIST, and move all of 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 shoudn'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.
Don't know how to post in the newsgroups? Well, follow these
instructions exactly:
FOR NETSCAPE USERS :
1) Click on any newsgroup, like normal. Then click on the "To: News"
button which is in the top left corner of the newsgroup page. This
will bring up a message box.
2) Fill in the "Subject" line with a FLASHY title, like the one I
used.
3) Now, go to the message-part of the box and retype the article
exactly as it is here, with the exeption of your few changes. Your
finished article should show your name and address in the FIFTH
position!
4) When you're done typing the whole article, click "Save as..."
and save your article.DO NOT SEND YOUR ARTICLE UNTIL YOU HAVE SAVED IT
( so you won't have to retype it 200 times! )
5)Now you have saved the article, go ahead and send your first copy!
( click the "Send" button in the top left corner )
6) Now you're ready to post the rest... go to ANY other newsgroup
article and click the "To News" button again. Type in your flashy
subject line in the subject box. Click on the "Attachment" button
and get your article from wherever you saved it. Click once on your
article file, then click "Open", then click "OK". If you have done
this right, you should see your article's FILENAME in the attachment
box, with a shaded background.
Repeat 6) above and POST AWAY !!!
FOR INTERNET EXPLORER USERS :
It's just as easy... Holding down the left mouse button, highlight
this entire article, then press the "Ctrl" key and the letter "C"
key AT THE SAME TIME to copy the article.
then print the article
for your records to have the names of those 5 to whom you will send
$2 each. Select ANY one newsgroup from the list by double-clicking
the newsgroup's name. Then click "News" at the top of the new window
and click "New Message To Newsgroups".
When the "New Message" window appears, type your fancy subject onto
the "Subject" line.
Then click in the large window below and press the "Ctrl" button and
the letter "V" AT THE SAME TIME, and your article will appear in the
message window.***BE SURE TO MAKE THE NAME AND ADDRESS CHANGES AS
EXPLAINED EARLIER, VERIFYING THAT EACH IS EXACTLY AS IT ORIGINALLY
APPEARED ( after eliminating the Nr. 1 listing ).
Now re-highlight the REVISED article and recopy it (Ctrl + C) so you
have the changes. Then all you have to do for each newsgroup is
"Ctrl + V" and then post it (click on the little 'push-pin & paper
icon' at the top left corner, or click "File" and "Post Message"
IT'S THAT EASY!!!
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 returns 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 assemling 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.
***********************************************************************
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 eveyone who participates.
There are no loosers.
Of every 200 posts I made, I received 5 responses. That probably doesn't
seem like much. You make $10 for every 200 posts with your name at the
fifth position.
Each person who sent you $2 now also makes 200 additional postings with
your name at the fourth position i.e. 1000 postings. On average
therefore, 50 people will send you $2 with your name at the fourth
position $100
Your 50 new agents make 200 postings each with your name at the third
position or 10'000 postings. Average return 500 people = $1'000.
They make 200 postings each with your name at the second position
= 100'000 postings = 5'000 return at $2 each = $10'000.
Finally, 5'000 people make 200 postings with your name at the first
position and you get a return of $100'000 before your name drops off
the list. AND THAT IS IF EVERYONE DOWN THE LINE MAKES ONLY 200
POSTINGS!!! Total income in one cycle = $100'000.
From time to time, when you see your name no longer on the list, you
take the latest posting that appears in the newsgroup, and send out
another $10, and put your name at the fifth position, and start posting
again. Remember, 200 postings is only a guideline. The more you post,
the greater the return!
Let's review why you should do this.THE ONLY COST IS $10, 5 STAMPS AND
5 ENVELOPES. Anyone can afford 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 money?" Big deal, so you lose $10 but what are the
chances of that happening? SINCE THIS IS A BRAND NEW PROGRAM AS OF
JANUARY 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 rever back to this
article easily.
Keep a list of everyone who sent 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 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 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!!!!!
