EASY FAST MONEY!!!



The following article and close facsimiles have been circulating for 

sometime on the newsgroups so I thought I would try it out.  I sure hope 

it works and in theory it should.  So please take 3 minutes to read what 

follows, it could be one of the best decisions you ever made.  

It's QUICK, HONEST, and LEGAL and if the directions are followed a 

significant amount of money can be made.  Why not at least give it a 

quick read?  What have you got to lose?


 ARTICLE:I saw an article in an internet newsgroup telling me that I 

could make an average of $50,000 within a couple of months for an 

investment of only $5. I quickly assumed it had to be a scam.  I can't 

stand scams, because usually someone gets burned, and I didn't want it 

it to be me.  After rejecting the idea at first, I realized all I had to 

lose was the $5 in my wallet.  I figured, what the heck, and decided to 

give it a shot. A friend told me that she invested $5 because of the 

article I showed her and  later she began receiving money in the mail!  

Soon, hundreds, and then thousands of dollars began to roll in.  Within 

4 weeks, she had received a total of $12,243!  It came from everywhere 

in the world and was still pouring in. I  had initially rejected the 

idea but after some serious brainstorming and research, I was

convinced.      

         In the worst case scenario, all I would lose would be the $5 

dollars in my wallet.  I spend that on lunch alone. If you follow the 

three steps below there is no reason why the same profits shouldn't 

happen to you!  This is a legitimate investment opportunity.  You invest 

$5, and you receive a return on your investment.  So does the 

next investor. 

NOT ILLEGAL - NOT A CHAIN LETTER - PERFECTLY LEGITIMATE. 

If you are not interested simply don't participate, but please print 

this article and pass it on to someone who may be interested so they can 

take advantage.

The procedure is simple:


1)  Write your name, address, country and e-mail address (optional) on 

5 sheets of paper.  Below that, write the words, "Please add me to your 

mailing list."  You should use thick dark paper to discourage mail 

theft. Fold a $1 U.S. bill or near equivalent in foreign currencies 

(make sure it is a paper currency as coins are difficult to exchange in 

foreign countries) in each piece of paper and mail them to the following 

5 addresses: 



1.  D Rehkamp    

    1028 Bromo Avenue 

    St.Cloud, MN 56303 



2.  J Choice    

    78-1 Drexelbrook Drive

    Drexel Hill, PA 19026 



3.  Cylissa Vernente

    Po Box 05

    Waupaca, WI 54981 



4. K Abbood     

   PO BOX 4512

   Lubbock, TX 79409


5. T Armstrong
   
   12458 Warner Rd.

   Laingsburg, MI 48848



2)  Now remove the top name from the list, and move the other four names 

up.  In other words, #5 becomes #4 and so on.  Put your name as #5 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 350 newsgroups.  There are 19,000 

and growing daily so it should not be difficult to find that many. You 

are now in the mail order investment business and should start 

seeing returns within several weeks.  Of course, the more newgroups you 

post to,the greater your return will be.  If you wish to remain 

anonymous, you may use a psuedonym but MAKE SURE YOUR ADDRESS IS 

CORRECT!


IS THIS LEGAL??

Yes it is!  You are using the Internet to advertise your business.What 

is your business??  You are assembling a mailing list of people who are 

interested in home-based computer and online businesses as a method of 

generating income at home. People send you a small fee ($1 U.S. or 

equivalent in foreign paper currency) to be added to your list.  This is 

legal.  Look it up. What will you do with your list of thousands of 

names??  This is up to you.  You may sell it to direct marketing firms, 

share it, or whatever else you want to do.  Either way, the money 

received is legal income.


FOLLOW THE RULES. 

They are tried and true, they are legal and they work if everyone 

is honest.  No need to re-invent the wheel.  Also, be sure to keep a 

record of everyone who sends you a request.  This is your mailing list 

and the more it grows, the more it will be worth to you, and to others, 

such as direct marketing firms, who may wish to purchase your list at a 

later date. 


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' postings more 

and more.  All that growth means profits for everyone who participates. 

There are no losers.  Even if you only make a few hundred dollars you 

still turned a profit. Statistics show that an average response rate is 

about 3%.  So for every 350 postings you make you should recieve an 

average of 10 responses.

Yes,only 10. You will make $10 for every 350 postings with your name 

at #5. Each of the 10 people who sent you $1 now also make 350 

additional postings with your name at #4.  10x350=3500 postings.  These 

10 people should getback 10 responses each.  10x10=100 responses 

therefore 100 people will send you $1 with your name at #4.  $100.

Your 100 new agents make 350 postings each with your name at #3 or 

35,000 postings.   Average return is 1000 responses therefore $1000.  

These 1000 make 350 postings each with your name at #2 or 350,000 

postings.   Average return is 10,000 responses therefore $10,000.

These final 10,000 people make 350 postings with your name at #1 and 

you get a return of $100,000 before your name drops off the list. 

The total possible income of one cycle is 

$10+$100+$1000+$10,000+$100,000=$111,110 U.S.

THAT IS IF EVERYONE DOWN-LINE MAKES ONLY 350 POSTINGS!!From time to 

time, when you see your name no longer on the list, you take the latest 

posting that appears in the newsgroups and send out another $5,putting 

your name at #5, and start posting again.  This keeps the cycle going.  

Remember, 350 postings is only a guideline.  The more you post, 

the greater the return.The reason why the average total income is around 

$50,000 is because of the inevitable loss of people down-line due to 

lack of faith in the system and because of people adding their names to 

the list but not sending out the $5. 


THE ONLY COST IS $5 U.S.,  5 STAMPS AND 5 ENVELOPES.

Anyone can afford to invest $5, especially when the returns are 

so spectacular.Some people have said to me, "What happens if the idea is 

played out and no one sends me any money?".   Big Deal, so you lose $5 - 

but the chances ofthat happening are minimal because there are millions 

of Internet users and tens of thousands 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 refer 

back to this article easily. Try to keep a list of everyone that sends 

you money and always keep an eye on the postings to make sure everyone 

is playing fairly.  You know where your name should be.


REMEMBER - HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY.YOU DO NOT NEED TO CHEAT THIS IDEA 

TO MAKE MONEY!!!

This is the easiest way that you can make a buck.  Think how excited 

you'll be to open up your mailbox day after day!  Will it be $49? 

$122?  

Give it a chance ... you will be surprised.

to make. Keep almost all of it the SAME!



4)  When you're done typing the WHOLE article, click on FILE in THIS 

BOX,RIGHT ABOVE SEND, NOT WHERE IT SAYS NETSCAPE NEWS ON THE FIRST

come up.  Click on ATTACH FILE, then find YOUR file that if you did this 

right, you should see your file name in the attachments box, and it

will be shaded green.



NOTE:  If you don't want to type in the whole article and you know how 

touse a plain text editor (Notepad), you can edit the file ahead of 

time,then attach it.(NOTE:  If you have an easier way to post your 

edited article to newsgroups please add that information to the above.

will open.  Type in your headline in the subject area and then click in 

the large window below.  Press "ctrl" and then "v" and the article will

new newsgroup all you haveto repeat is "ctrl" and "v" and press post.



3)  That's it.  Each time you do this, all you have to do is type in 

a different newsgroup, so that way it posts to 350 DIFFERENT newsgroups, 

or more.(NOTE:  If you have an easier way to post your edited article to 

newsgroups please add that information to the above.  Thanks.
