Making Money Fast!!

Have I gotten some great news for all you people that are
broke! After reading this message I think that you can do away with a
lot of those bills that you get every month and do not really have the
money to pay them. After you read this message and follow the simple
instructions you could be making more money then you do on your
everyday job.
I will start by saying that I found this idea on my local
Bulletin Board System (BBS). I almost deleted it when I saw it,
because I hate get rich fast schemes that take your money and give you
back nothing. Oh yes, I have tried them all, it seems. I have tried
the mail-order schemes, the envelope stuffing schemes, the multi-level
marketing, 900 numbers, and Real Estate games. There is a lot more,
but I will not list them all since I want to keep this message as
short as possible. It seems I have tried every get rich quick scheme
out there over the past 14 years. Over those 14 years I got on all
kinds of mailing list for stupid people that will try anything to make
a buck. When I was younger they all sounded as if they would work
without even working hard for it. I would send these people $15, these
people $30, and these people $50. Before I knew it I had buried the
limit on all of my credit cards, and man was I bent way out of shape
financially. I finally said to my self that I would not try any more
of the dumb get rich schemes again. I, for about 1 1/2 years got
plenty of junk mail from these places saying that they had new ways to
improve my income. I did not even waste my time in reading them.
They would come in the house and straight to the trash can. It seems
as if I could see these schemes a mile away now, but then I saw this
message on my own BBS.
I was about to write the person who uploaded it a very harsh
message, and tell him not to ever upload any get rich fast scams on my
BBS again. Then I read the message all the way through to it's fullest.
The message talked about away to mail a one dollar bill to five people
and make $35,000 in cash in 2 months. I thought to myself for a few
days on the matter. I finally said to myself, "It could work, but if
it does not, I will have only lost $5 dollars, the cost of the stamps,
and the cost of the envelopes."
Well, I did not think that I would hit the $35,000 dollar
mark, but I figured I could at least get something back in return
since my over head was only $5 dollars. So I tried it. Hiding it from
my spouse, I followed the directions in the message and mailed out a
single dollar bill to the 5 names on the list, which the person before
had attached to his message. I wrote a small note to send with the
dollar saying "Please add my name to your list." I then took the
first name in the list off and moved the rest of the names up one slot.
Then I added my name in the number 5 slot of the list (The placing
your name on the list is where you make money). I then took the new
list of names, which now included my own, and E-Mailed it to every BBS
operator in Fidonet, which is a group of BBS operators across the
world. I figured that was a good way to get it to a lot of people
fast. I then sat and waited for the money to come. I was expecting
to maybe make, at the most $500 to $600 dollars, or at least some
where in that area.
The secret from my wife was out after about 2 to 3 weeks. It
became very hard to keep the secret any longer from her, because of
the return addresses. She was wanting to know who, what and why these
people from all over the world where sending me a dollar bill. I then
explained it to her and she could not believe it. The mail continued
to come in every day. My mail carrier even questioned me once or
twice. It was a feeling beyond belief. I guess that you want to know
how much I made now? Well, I did not reach $35,000, but I did bring in
$14,684. I just could not believe that it worked this well.
The first thing I did was pay off mine and my wife's car. It
felt so good calling the bank and asking for a payoff. I then took
the rest of the money and paid off has many of my credit cards as I
could. Now after 1 year, I am ready to do it again. This time my
spouse suggested USEGROUPS on the Internet, and I believe that it
should work better than before. I think that someone could hit that
$35,000 dollar mark, but I do not know that yet. It all really
depends on you, the individual. You have to follow through and
re-post this message everywhere you can put it. The more people you
get it to the better the response you will get. It is just too easy
to pass up this money making system!
Let's look at the reasons you need to do this. First of all
it only cost 5 $1 bills, 5 $0.32 stamps, and 5 envelopes (what ever
they cost) that you need to mail to the 5 names on the list. Then
simply re-post the message and list, with your name on it, to all the
USEGROUPS and public BBS' you can. Then just sit back , relax, and
enjoy the excise of walking up and down the driveway to the mailbox.
Everybody has $5 dollars to put in something that will make them
$10,000 to $15,000 dollars in about 3-6 weeks. Ask your self this
simply question, "What is $5 dollars?". Hold off on eating out one
night, hold off on those lottery tickets, and put $5 dollars in this
MONEY MAKING SYSTEM NOW! It is really hard to lose at it.
So how do you do it, you ask? I have in most detailed, and
straightforwardly prepared the instructions on how this system works,
and how to get the money in your mailbox. Follow these instructions
step-by-step if you are ready to make some money. You might want to
make a printout of this steps to make them easier to follow.
1. Take a blank piece of paper and write on it the follow message:
"Please add my name to your list".
This will make a service out of the dollar, and making this money
system completely legal. You will not be just sending a dollar to
someone, but paying for a legitimate service. Make sure to also
write down your name and address. I assure you once again that
this is completely legal!
2. Fold your piece of paper around the dollar bill, (NO CHECKS OR
MONEY ORDERS), and put them in the envelope. Apply this step for
all 5 of the people on the list, which is at the end of this
message.
3. Now, here is where you make your money. Look at your list of 5
people. Remove the name in slot number 1, and move all the other
names up 1 slot. For instance, move the name in slot number 2 up
to slot number 1. The name in slot number 3 then moves up to slot
number 2. The name in slot number 4 should then be move up to
slot number 3, and finally the name in slot number 5 up to slot
number 4. Then put your name and complete mailing address in slot
number 5.
4. Now, upload this updated file, with your name in slot number 5, to
as many USEGROUPS and BBS conference areas and file areas as can.
Remember the more people that get the message the better the
response will be for you, and the other people on the list. Give
the message a real eye catching name so it will catch someone's
eye. Some examples are: "Need some extra money?", "Need some
money quick?", "A way to pay off your bills fast!!", or "Money!".
Set a goal on how much money you want to make and keep these
number in mind at all times. With this goal in mind, you will get
a good figure of how many people have got to read the message and
then respond. You can make it easier for people to receive your
message in USEGROUPS by UUE encoding the file when you are
uploading it. That way people can download it to their hard drive
or a floppy. Don't alter the file type, leave it as a MS-DOS Text
file. The best way to test the file is to open the file using
Notepad in Windows to make sure the margins look right. You
should make sure that the viewing person do not have to slide the
screens back and forth to read the message. One other thing about
the list of names, you should not try any funny editing of the
list of names. You should only add your name and no others to the
list. If you want a friend to do it with you give them a copy of
your edited list, with your name on it, so you can make a dollar
for yourself.
5. If you need help uploading your file, ask some on the system you
are trying to upload too. Somebody will always help you with the
matter. When you upload it as a file on a BBS be sure to give the
file an eye catching name like: "CASH.TXT", or "MONEY.TXT".
6. After you do all the above steps sit back and wait for the money
to come in, and it will. Expect to see some money start coming in
about 2 weeks. When week 3-4 roll around, the money will really
start coming. It is more than just a normal feeling to see all
the money that you will receive.
7. Now you can go and pay off all your debts, and then go and buy
something that you have always wanted or maybe something that you
have always wanted to get someone else. After that, just enjoy
life!
8. When you have spent all of that money, simply start posting the
same message again. Post it in the old places, and maybe some new
places. Don't just delete this file after the first time, because
you can reuse it time and time again in the same way you did the
first.
I will say this much about this system, it works! I got hold of
this list after it had already been all over my home town. I have
talk with an everyone on the below list, and they said that they
started out thinking that it would not work. Most of them made more
then I did on the first go around. I am not yet really sure who
started this thing or really where, but THANKS! The lists of names
are below.
