> THE EXPERIENCE OF A LAWYER:
>
> I am a retired attorney and about two years ago a man came to me with
> a
> letter. The letter he
> brought me is the same as the letter in front of you now. He asked me
> to
> verify the fact that this
> letter was legal.I told him that I would review it and get back to
> him.
> When I first read the letter I
> thought it was some off-the-wall idea to make money.A week later I met
>
> again with my client to
> discuss the issue. I told him that the letter originally brought to me
>
> was not 100% legal. My client
> asked me to alter the letter to make it 100% legal. I advised him to
> make a small change in the
> letter and it would be alright. I was curious about the letter so he
> told me how it works. I thought
> it was a long shot, so I decided against participating. Before my
> client
> left, I asked him to keep me
> updated as to his results. I couldn't believe it, about two months
> later
> he called to tell me that he
> had received over $800,000 in cash! I didn't believe him so he asked
> me
> to try the plan myself. I
> thought about it for a few days and decided there was not much to
> lose.
> I followed the
> instructions exactly and mailed out 200 letters (via snail mail of all
>
> things!). Sure enough the
> money started coming in! It came slowly at first but after three weeks
> I
> was getting more than I
> could open in a day. After about three months the money stopped
> coming.
> I kept a precise record
> of my earnings and at the end it totaled $868,439.00. I was earning a
> good living as a lawyer, but
> as anyone in the profession will tell you, there is a lot of stress
> that
> comes with the job. I told
> myself if things worked out I would retire from practice and play
> golf.
> I decided to try the letter
> again but this time I sent 500 letters out. Well, three months later I
>
> had totaled $2,344,178.00! I
> just couldn't believe it. I met my old client for lunch to find out
> exactly how this works. He told
> me that there were a few similar letters going around and what made
> this
> one different is that
> there are seven names on the letter not five like most others. That
> fact
> alone resulted in more
> returns. The other factor was the advice I gave him in making sure the
>
> whole thing was perfectly
> legal, since no one wants to risk doing anything illegal. I bet now
> you
> are curious what little
> changes I told him to make. Well, if you send a letter like this one
> out, to be legal, you must sell
> something if you expect to receive a dollar. I told him that anyone
> sending a dollar out must
> receive something in return. What we did to make it legal was make it
> work out so people sending
> you $1 we're actually asking you to put them on your mailing list. So
> when you send a dollar to
> each one of the seven names on the list, you must include a slip of
> paper saying "please put me on
> your mailing list, $1 processing fee enclosed" and include your name,
> address (your phone number
> is optional). (I actually like an occasional e-mail address too - it's
>
> exciting to chat with other
> people who are making such simple money! But of course, that's up to
> you!) This is the key to the
> program! The item that you will receive for the dollar you send is the
>
> letter, your name on the
> "mailing list" and the right to earn thousands! Follow the simple
> instructions below and in less
> than three months you will receive over $800,000.00 GUARANTEED.
>
> _______________________________________________________________
> THE PROGRAM:
>
> A) Immediately send one dollar (US Currency or equivalent in your
> local
> Currency)to each of the
> seven people listed below.Wrap the dollar in a piece of paper saying
> "PLEASE ADD ME TO
> YOUR MAILING LIST, $1.00 PROCESSING FEE ENCLOSED." and include your
> name
> and
> mailing address. Your phone number and/or e-mail address is optional.
> (I
> also like to add what
> number the person is on the list so they can figure out how much more
> they can expect to receive)
>
> B) Take the person in the #1 position off the list, bump the rest of
> the names up a position, and
> then add your name and address to slot #7. (Be sure to proof-read so
> no
> one else gets your mail!)
>
> C) Post this new letter, with your name and address and post it to at
> least 200 newsgroups (there
> are currently 20,000+ newsgroups with thousands of new subscribers
> every
> day - no need to
> worry about overlapping with someone else) Of course, another option
> would be to rent names
> and addresses from a list company, but in my honest opinion, posting
> to
> newsgroups reaches more
> people, is faster, and saves you money that you would have to
> otherwise
> spend on bulk postage!
> (both ways are 100% legal)
>
> D) Sit back and wait for the envelopes to roll in.

> GENERAL NOTES ON POSTING: A nice page where you'll find all the
> newsgroups if you want
> help is http://www.liszt.com/ (When you go to the home page, click on
> the link 'Newsgroup
> Directory'). But I don't think you'll have any problem posting because
>
> it's very easy once you've

> (But it makes it very easy if you have Netscape Navigator 3.0 or
> later.
> You may download it from
> the Internet if you don't have it.) You just have to remember the
> basic
> steps, stated below.
>
> BASIC STEPS FOR POSTING:
>
> 1. Find a newsgroup and you click on it.
> 2. You click on 'POST A NEW ARTICLE' or 'TO NEWS' or anything else
> similar  to these.
> 3. You type your flashy headline in the subject box.
> 4. Now, either you attach the file containing your amended letter, or
> you PASTE the letter. (You
>     have to COPY it from the text editor, of course,  from before.)
> 5. Finally, you click on 'SEND' or 'POST' or 'OK', whatever is there.
>
> HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS FAST WITH YOUR WEB BROWSER:
> The fastest way to post a newsletter:
> Highlight and COPY (Ctrl-C) the text of this posted message and PASTE
> (Ctrl-V) it into a plain
> text editor (as Wordpad) and save it. After you have made the
> necessary
> changes that are stated
> above, simply COPY (Ctrl-C) and PASTE (Ctrl-V) the text into the
> message
> composition
> window, after selecting a newsgroup, and post it! (Or you can attach
> the
> file, without writing
> anything to the message window.)
> --------------------------------
> ---------------------------------------
>
> If you have Netscape Navigator 3.0 do the following:
> 1. Click on any newsgroup like normal, then click on 'TO NEWS'. This
> will bring up a box to type
> a message in.
> 2. Leave the newsgroup box like it is, change the subject box to
> something    flashy, something to
> catch the eye, as "$$$ NEED CASH$$$?!!READ HERE!$!$!$" or "$$$!!!MAKE
> FAST CASH,
> YOU CAN'T LOSE!!!$$$". Or you can use my subject title.
> 3. Now click on 'ATTACHMENTS'. Then click on 'ATTACH FILE'. Find your
> file on your Hard
> Disk (the one you saved from the text editor). Once you find it, click
>
> on it and then click 'OPEN'
> and 'OK'. You should now see your file name in the attachments box.
> 4. Now click on 'SEND'/'POST'. You see? Now you just have 199 to go!!!
