HOW TO TURN SIX DOLLARS INTO SIX THOUSAND:

READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE! IT DOES WORK!

I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little
while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now,
and came
across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of
dollars
within weeks with only an initial investment of  $6.00! So I thought,
"Yeah
right, this must be a scam", but like most of us, I was curious, so I
kept reading.
Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address
stated
in the article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom
of the
list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. (There are
thousands)
No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few
people
first, I thought about trying it. I figured: "what have I got to lose
except
6 stamps and $6.00, right?" Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS
WHAT!?...
within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I
figured
it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week,
I made
about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had made a total of over
$1,000.00!
In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is
now
my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's
still
coming in rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have
spent more
than that on the lottery!! Let me tell you how this works and most
importantly,
WHY it works... Also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so
you
can get the information off of it, as you need it. I promise you that if
you
follow the directions exactly, that you will start making more money
than you
thought possible by doing something so easy!

Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (print it out or
download it.)
Follow the simple directions and watch the money come in!

It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus postage)

IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not illegal;
and
it is 99% no risk - it really works!

If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive
extraordinary
dividends.

PLEASE NOTE:
Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be yours
in
20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of the honesty
and integrity
of the participants. Please continue its success by carefully adhering
to the
instructions.

You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business
your product
is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in the business of
developing
Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are happy to pay big bucks for
quality
lists. However, the money made from the mailing lists is secondary to
the income
which is made from people like you and me asking to be included in that
list.


Here are the 4 easy steps to success:

STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each
piece
of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 6 US $1.00 bills
and
place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill will not be
seen
through the envelope (to prevent thievery). Next, place one paper in
each of
the 6 envelopes and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes,
each
with a piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name and address,
and a
$1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY
LEGAL!
You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it! Like
most
of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal
aspects
of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office
(1-800-725-2161) and
they confirmed that it is indeed legal. Mail the 6 envelopes to the
following
addresses:


#1) Peggy Williamson
330 E. 32nd St.
Ada, Ok 74820

#2) Frank Stevens
P.O. Box 264
Tupelo, Ok 74572

#3) Jason Williamson
202 Park Dr.
Ada, Ok 7482

#4) Dennis E. Ribble
RR3 BOX 32-1B
Benton, PA 17814

#5) Rob Tripp
3510 Moorpark Ave. #103C
San Jose CA 95117

#6) Moiza Gideon
Machal 29/3
Kiryat Haim , Israel 26387

STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the
other
names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR Name as number
6 on
the list.

STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as
original
as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups.
(I think
there are close to 24,000 groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the
more
you post, the more money you make! You won't get very much unless you
post like
crazy. :)

This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18 Sec.
1302
& 1341 of the Postal lottery laws. Keep a copy of these steps for
yourself and,
whenever you need money, you can use it again, and again.

PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the
honesty
and integrity of the participants and by their carefully adhering to the
directions.
Look at it this way. If you are of integrity, the program will continue
and
the money that so many others have received will come your way.

NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you, either
on a
computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you. This VERIFIES
that
you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might be a good idea to
wrap the
$1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail theft.)

So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed,
six members
will be reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer with one
dollar
each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so that when your
name reaches
the #1 position you will be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!!
What an
opportunity for only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six people
listed above)
Send it now, add your own name to the list and you're in business!

� DIRECTIONS FOR POSTING TO NEWSGROUPS

Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own
posting.
Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your
cursor
to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy' from the edit menu.
This will
copy the entire letter into the computer's memory.
Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top of
the
blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will paste a copy
of the
letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the list.
Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do
your postings
in different settings, you'll always have this file to go back to.
Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for Various
newsgroups
(on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.)
Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new
message by
highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit
menu.
Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they
scroll
through the list of postings in a particular group, click the post
message button.
You're done with your first one! Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you
have to
do is jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang
of
it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! **REMEMBER, THE
MORE NEWSGROUPS
YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A
MINIMUM OF
200** That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the world
within
days! You may eventually want to rent a P.O.Box due to the large amount
of mail
you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name
to use,
as long as the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE
ADDRESSES ARE
CORRECT.**


each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200
postings,
each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the
original 5,
that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts
with
my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional
$125.00!
Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name
at
#3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $625.00!
OK, now
here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200
letters with
my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me
$3,125.00!!!
Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with
my
name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will
receive $15,625,00!
With an original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no
longer
on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and
send out
another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again.
And
start posting again. The thing to remember is: do you realize that
thousands
of people all over the world are joining the internet and reading these
articles
everyday?, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So, can you afford $6.00 and see if
it really
works?? I think so... People have said, "what if the plan is played out
and
no one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that
happening
when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are
joining
the internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try?
Estimates
are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with thousands of those
joining
the actual internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will
really
work.

6 bucks
6 stamps
6 envelops
Considering you were using Mozilla, about two hours typing in all the newsgroups

all that time spent downloading the flames, bombs, and hate mail, then sorting
them out
etc. etc. etc.
