Powerful Money and Trust
Sure, money is not important -- but lets see you try to live
without it. We've all been in situations were we have come up a little
short and wished we had just a bit more to go around. For all of us
frustrated people out there, now is our chance. Not only can you help out
your fellow net citizens, but also yourself. Its our turn for a little
fun and profit.
Here is what you can do. Below you will find a list of five names
and addresses. These are people from all over the world who use the net.
Hamburger flippers and bankers, artists and brick layers, anyone is
invited and welcome - especially you.
In three steps, this is what you do.
1) Put one dollar in the mail to each person on the list. (5
total)
2) Delete the top persons name. Add yours to the bottom of the
list.
3) Repost this message in as many news groups as you can think
of. Also e-mail it to as many places or people you know. The more
exposure you give this message, the better your chances for making a lot
of money.
Will it work?
Well, that depends. There have been a lot of success stories
floating around on financial news groups. A minister whose church burnt
to the ground recently posted a thank you note to all his unknown
internet friends. At his wits end when his poor southern congregation
lost their church in a fire, he sent out his five dollars to help others
on the list and then reposted the message with his name at the bottom.
His recent note said he was able to raise $11,346 in two months,
enough to begin reconstruction of the foundation. Others have reported
making much, much more than that and a few have made only a couple
hundred dollars. Mileage will vary, but with 60 million people online
worldwide, its pretty safe to say that your five dollar gift to others
will be returned several times over.
The list
This is the current list of people who have donated money to
others and are now relying on your goodwill. Also, update the counter
below before you repost so if you should see this message again you will
know how many times it has gone around. If you have rotated through the
cycle, feel free to send one dollar to each new person and add your name
again. Don't forget to include what country you are from.
Hopefully everyone who participates will do well. Please consider
donating some of your good fortune to a charity to help out those less
fortunate.

Shit. I honestly believed I found a pattern to filter all this "get rich
scrap" in my ng-mails. This clever slime bucket eluded me and inspired me
to look for even tighter patterns. :(((((
