Turn a measly $5 into $50,000! Taking 5 minutes to read this text may
be one of the best decisions you ever made. I could make $50 000 within
4 weeks for an investment of only $5. I thought it was a huge joke! I
spoke to my friends about it and they thought likewise. But after three
days of desperate struggle I decided I had nothing to lose. I sent $1 by
mail to each of 5 names and addresses specified in the article. I then
placed my own name and address in the article and posted it in 200 other
newsgroups. Two weeks later, I started receiving money in the mail! I
could not believe it! Hundreds of dollars turned into thousands, and in
the 4 weeks, I received a total of $53,654. It came from all over the
world. If you follow the 3 steps below, there is no reason whatsoever
why the same shouldn't happen to you. This is a perfectly 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!OBVIOUSLY, IF YOU
ARE NOT INTERESTED, THEN DON'T PARTICIPATE. BUT PLEASE PRINT THIS
ARTICLE AND GIVE IT TO SOMEONE WHO MAY WISH TO TAKE ADVANTAGE.
Follow these 3 Steps
STEP 1. Write your name and address on 5 separate pieces of paper with
the words "PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING LIST". Fold a $1 note or money
order or bank draft in each of the pieces of paper and mail them to the
following five addresses:
********************************************************** ********
1. Jeff Katz, 7 Seir Hill Rd, #41, Norwalk, CT 06850
2. Eric Johnson 14817 Holden Circle, Horizon TX, 79927
3. Paul DeMarco 21 Hunter CT., Sewell NJ, 08080
4. Glenn Walnicki, SUNY Geneseo, 1 College Circle, Niagara Hall Box 37,
Geneseo, NY, 14454
5. Dave Foster, P.O. Box # 58017, 500 Rossland Rd West, Oshawa Ontario, L1J
8L6
*************************************************************** ***
STEP 2. Now remove the 1st name on the list, move the other 4 names up
(5 becomes 4, 4 becomes 3 etc.) and put your name and address as number
5 on the list. You can do this by re-typing this article or simply
editing and re-posting it in this or another newsgroup.
STEP 3. Post your amended article to at least 200 new groups (there are
over 17,000 of them). You are now in the Mail Order Investment Business
and you will start receiving $1 returns by mail within a week or two.
The more newsgroups you post to, the bigger your return will be. You may
want to rent a Post Office Box to handle the volume of mail you are
likely to receive. If you wish to remain anonymous, you can use a
pseudonym such as "The Manager" or "The Investor", but make sure your
address is correct!
How this system works
Of every 200 postings that I have made (more than 200 is even better if you
have the time)
I received an average of 5 replies, YES - ONLY 5, each with a $1 bill
enclosed. You make $5 for every 200 postings WITH YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 5.
Each person who sent you $1, now also makes let's say, only 200
additional postings WITH YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 4, i.e. 1000 postings. On
average therefore, 50 people will send you $1 with your name at #4.
You make $50. Your 50 new agents make 200 posting each WITH YOUR
NAME AT NUMBER 3 or 10,000 postings - average return 500 at $1 each is
$500. They make 200 postings each WITH YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 2 = 100,000
postings = 5,000 returns at $1 each = $5,000. Finally, 5 000 people
make 200 postings each WITH YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 1 and you get a return
of $50 000 before you name drops off the list. AND THAT'S IF EVERYONE
DOWN THE LINE ONLY MAKES 200 POSTINGS! Total income in one cycle =
$55,500. From time to time, when your name is no longer on the list,
you take the latest posting that is appearing in the newsgroups, SEND
OUT ANOTHER $5 TO THE NAMES THAT ARE ON THE LIST, PUT YOUR NAME IN AT
NUMBER 5 AND START POSTING AGAIN. Remember, 200 postings is only a
guideline. The more you post, the greater the return. Let's review the
reasons why you should do this: THE ONLY COST FACTORS ARE 5 STAMPS, 5
ENVELOPES, AND 5 $1 BILLS. Anyone can afford five dollars to put into
such an effortless investment with SPECTACULAR RETURNS. Some people
have said to me "What happens if the scheme is 'played out' and no one
sends me any money"? Big deal! So you lose $5 - but what are the chances
of that happening? Do you realize how many Internet Users there are? Do
you realize how many times this scheme can be utilized over and over
again - with COMPLETELY NEW people participating? There are not
HUNDREDS, NOT EVEN THOUSANDS, BUT HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF NEW INTERNET
USERS 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 newsgroup postings to make
sure everyone is playing fairly. You know where your name should be.
Good luck!!!

Just a few quick questions: WHO SENDS MONEY TO YOU? The complete idiots? And, you said that you have made over $50,000. Now, just how stuffed is your mailbox? Do you have entire garbage cans just filled with empty envelopes? What do the tellers at the bank say when you come in to deposit $4,000 in SINGLE DOLLAR BILLS? Finally, if you were a postal worker, would you not take the money?
