Hello! I've got some awesome news that I think you need to take
twominutes to read if you have
ever thought
"How could I make someserious cash in a hurry???" , or been in
serious debt, ready to do almost
anything to get the money needed to pay off those billcollectors. So
grab a snack, a warm cup of
coffee, or a glass of yourfavorite beverage, get comfortable and
listen to this interesting,
exciting find! Let me start by saying that I FINALLY FOUND IT!
That's right!. Ifound it! And I
HATE GET RICH QUICK SCHEMES!! I hate those schemeslike multi-level
marketing, mail-order schemes,
envelope stuffingscams, 900 number scams... the list goes on forever.
I have triedevery darn get
rich quick scheme out there over the past 12 years. I somehow got on
mailing lists for people
looking to make money (morelike 'desperate stupid people who will try
anything for money!').
Well, when I was a teenager, these claims to 'get me rich
quick'sounded irresistible!
I would shell out $14.95 here, $29.95 there,$24.95 here, and
another $49.95 there. I had maxed out my new CircuitCity Card AND my
Visa...I was desperate for
money!! So, I gave themall a chance but failed at every one of them!
Maybe they worked forsome
people, but not for me. Eventually, I just tossed that JUNK MAILin
the trash when I got the mail.
I recognized it right away. I cansmell a money scam from a mile away
these days, SO I THOUGHT....
I thought I could sniff out a scam easily. WAS I WRONG!! ....I
LOVETHE INTERNET!!! I was
scanning thru a NEWSGROUP and saw an article stating to GET CASH
FAST!! I thought...
"Here on the Internet??
Well, I'll just have to see what schemes could possibly be on the
internet." Thearticle described
a way to MAIL A ONE DOLLAR BILL TO ONLY FIVE PEOPLEAND MAKE $50, 0000
IN CASH WITHIN 4 WEEKS!
Well, the more I thoughtabout it, the more I became very curious.
Why? Because of the way
it worked AND BECAUSE IT WOULD ONLY COST ME FIVE DOLLARS (AND
FIVESTAMPS), THAT'S ALL
I EVER PAY....EVER!! Ok, so the $50,000 in cash was maybe an tough
amount to reach,
but it was possible. I knew that I could at least get a return of
$1,000or so. So I did it!!
As per the instructions in the article, I mailedout ('snail mail'for
you e-mail fanatics)
a single dollar bill to eachof the five people on the list that was
contained in
the article. Iincluded a small note, with the dollar, that stated
"Please Add Me ToYour List."
I then removed the first position name of the five nameslisted and
moved everyone up one position,
and I put my name inposition five of the list. This is how the money
starts rolling in!I then to
ok this revised article now with my name on the list andREPOSTED IT
ON AS MANY NEWSGROUPS AND LOCAL
BULLETIN BOARD MESSAGE AREAS THAT I KNEW. I then waited to watch the
money comein...prepared to
maybe receive about $1000 to $1500 in cash or so....But what a
welcome surprise when
those envelopes kept coming in!!! Iknew what they were as soon as I
saw the return addresses
from people all over the world-Most from the U.S., but some from
Canada, even somefrom Australia!
I tell you, THAT WAS EXCITING!! So how much did Iget in total
return? $1000? $5000? Not even!!!
I received a total of$23,343!!! I couldn't believe it!! I now have
a brand new black Acura
Integra to speak for, due tothis!! Now after almost 8 months, I am
ready to do it again!!!
Somaybe it was possible to get $50,000 in cash, I don't know, but
IT COMPLETELY DEPENDS ON YOU, THE INDIVIDUAL! You must follow
throughand repost this article
everywhere you can think of! The morepostings you achieve will
determine how much cash will
arrive in yourvery own mailbox!! It's just too easy to pass up!!!
Let's review the
reasons why you should do this: The only costfactors are for the
five stamps, the 5 envelopes
and the 5 one dollarbills that you send out to the listed names by
snail mail (US PostalService
Mail). Then just simply repost the article (WITH YOUR NAMEADDED) to
all the newsgroups and local
BBS's you can. Then sit back and, (ironically), enjoy walking (you
can run if you like! :o )
down your driveway to your mailbox and scoop up your rewards!! We
all havefive dollars to put
into such an easy effortless investment withSPECTACULAR REALISTIC
RETURNS OF $15,000 to $25,000
in about 3-5weeks! So HOLD OFF ON THOSE LOTTERY NUMBERS FOR
TODAY,EAT AT HOMETONIGHT
INSTEAD OF TAKEOUT FROM McDONALDS AND INVEST FIVE DOLLARS INTHIS
AMAZING MONEY MAKING
SYSTEM NOW!!! YOU CAN'T LOSE!! So how do you do it exactly, you
ask? I have carefully provided
the most detailed, yet straightforward instructions on how to
easilyget this underway and get
your cash on its way. SO, ARE YOU READY TOMAKE SOME CASH!!!?? HERE WE GO!!!
*** THE LIST OF NAMES IS AT THE END OF THIS ARTICLE. ***
OK, Read this carefully. Get a printout of this information, if you
like, so you can
easily refer to it as often as needed. INSTRUCTIONS:1. Take a sheet
of paper and write on it
the following:"Please add my name to your list". This creates a
service out of thismoney making
system and thus making it completely legal. You are not just randomly
sending a dollar to someone,
you are paying one dollar for a legitimate service. Make sure you
include your name and address.
I assure you that, again, this is completely legal! For aneat
little twist, also write what
slot their name was in: "You werein slot 3", Just to add a little
fun! This is all about having
fun and making money at the same time!2. Now fold this sheet of
paper around a dollar bill ,(no
checks ormoney orders), and put them into an envelope and send it on
its way tothe five people
listed. The folding of the paper around the bill willinsure its
arrival to its recipient. THIS
STEP IS IMPORTANT!! 3. Now listen carefully, here's where you get
YOUR MONEY COMING TOYOUR
MAILBOX. Look at the list of five people; remove the firstname
from position one and move
everyone on the list up slot one onthe list. Position 2 name will
now move to the position 1
slot ,position 3 will now become position 2, 4 will be be 3, 5 wil be
4.Now put your name,
address, zipcode AND COUNTRY in position 5, thebottom position on the
list.4. Now upload this
updated file to as many newsgroups and localbulletin boards' message
areas & file section as
possible. Give acatchy description of the file so it gets noticed!!
Such as:"NEED FAST CASH?,
HERE IT IS!" or "NEED CASH TO PAY OFFYOUR DEBTS??", etc. And the
more uploads, the more money
you willmake, and of course, the more money the others on the list
will maketoo. LET'S ALL TAKE
CARE OF EACH OTHER BY BEING HONEST AND BY PUTTINGFORTH 120 PERCENT
INTO THIS PROFITABLE & AMAZING
SYSTEM!!! You'll reapthe benefits, believe me!!! Set a goal for the
number of total uploads you'll
post, such as 15-20 postings or more! Always have a goal inmind!!!
If you can UUE encode the file
when uploading, that will make it easier for the people to receive
it and have it downloaded to
their hard drive. That way they get a copy of the article right on
theircomputer without hassles
of viewing and then saving the article fromthe File menu. Don't alter
the file type, leave it as
an MS-DOS Textfile. The best test is to be able to view this file
using Microsoft's Notepad for
Windows 3.x or WordPad for Windows '95. If the marginslook right
without making the screen slide
left or right when at theends of the sentences, you're in business!5.
If you need help uploading,
simply ask the sysop of the BBS, or"POST" a message on a newsgroup
asking how to post a file, tell
them who your Internet provider is and PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS BE GLAD TO
HELP.I would try to describe
how to do it but there are simply too manyinternet software packages
with slightly different yet
relativelysimple ways to post or upload a file. Just ask for help or
look inthe help section for
'posting'. I do know that for GNN, you simplyselect 'POST' then enter
a catchy description under
the subject box,choose 'ATTACH', selecting 'UUE' and NOT 'TXT', then
choose 'Browse'to go look
for the file. Find your text file CASH.TXT and click on itand choose
'OK'. Place a one line
statement in the main body section of the message post screen.
Something like "Download this
to read how to get cash arriving in your mailbox with no paybacks!"
or whatever. Just make sure
it represents its true feasibility, NOT something like..."Get one
million dollars flooding in
your mailbox in two days! "You'll never get ANY responses! 6. And
this is the step I like.
JUST SIT BACK AND ENJOY LIFE BECAUSECASH IS ON ITS THE WAY!! Expect
to see a little money start
to trickle in around 2 weeks, but AT ABOUT WEEKS 3 & 4, THE MONEY
STORMWILL HIT YOUR MAILBOX!!
All you have to do is take it out of the mailbox and try not to
scream too loud (outside anyway)
when you realize YOU HIT THE BIG TIME AT LAST!! 7. So go PAY OFF
YOUR BILLS AND DEBTS and then
get that something special you always wanted or buy that special
person in your life
(or the one you want in your life) a gift they'll never forget.
ENJOYLIFE! 8. Now when you
get low on this money supply, simply re-activate this file again;
Reposting it in the old places
where you originally posted and possibly some new places you now know
of. Don't ever lose this
file, always keep a copy at your reach for when you ever needcash.
THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE TOOL
THAT YOU CAN ALWAYS RE-USE TIME ANDTIME AGAIN WHEN CASH IS NEEDED!
NOW GIVE IT A THOUGHT!!!
This will only cost you 5 bucks at the MOST!!!!! and look what you
can get in return..... We
have all sent away for stuff and schemes but this is a form of legal
chain and it
works!!!!
It can't help but work. I have already sent out 5 bucks and the money
has started to roll in
already! All I got to say at this point is HOLY SHIT!!! IT
works!!!!***Remember send a buck to
everyone on this list and repost the list with your name at the end
and move the names up one
position and repost!!! take the first one off the list of course...
****ONE MORE THING!!!! I have also been thinking 'Bout this for a
while, will it work? nahh!
just another get rich scheme... but when I thought of what I read, it
made sense... how could it
not work. everyone can afford 5 bucks!
GET THE ENVELOPES AND DO IT NOW!!
HONESTY IS WHAT MAKES THIS PROGRAM SUCCESSFUL!!!***
