THIS IS THE MOST HONEST WAY I KNOW TO MAKE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS 
QUICKLY, LEGALLY AND ESPECIALLY, NO CATCH!!!


	Hello!  Would you like to make thousands of dollars 
quickly and legally with NO CATCH?  Would you like to have the 
house fo your dreams and own an expensive car?  Then keep 
reading....Please take a few minutes to read this article, it 
will change your life, just like it did mine.  It's true!  You 
can make up to or over $50,000 in just 4-6 weeks, maybe sooner!  
I SWEAR I'M NOT LYING TO YOU, AND THIS IS NOT A SCAM!  If your 
interested, please, keep reading.  If your not, then I apologize 
for wasting your time.

	Here we go, a little while back, I was browsing these 
newsgroups, just like you are right now, and I came across an 
article similar to this that said you could make thousands of 
dolars within weeks with only an initial investment of $5!  So I 
thought, "Yeah, right, must be a scam", but I was curious, like 
most of us, so I kept reading.  Anyway, it said that you send $1 
to each of the 5 names and addresses stated in the article.  You 
then place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at 
#5, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. (THER ARE 
THOUSANDS!)

	No catch, that was it.  So after thinking it over, and 
talking to a few people first, I tried it.  I figured what have I 
got to lose except for 5 stamps and $5, right?

	Well GUESS WHAT!...within 7 days, I started getting money 
in the mail!  I was shocked!  I still figured it would end soon, 
and didn't give it another thought.  But the money just kept 
coming in.  In my first week,

	I made about 20 to 30 dollars.  By the end of the second 
week I had made a total of over $1,000!!!  In the third week I 
had over $10,000 and it's still growing.  This is now my fourth 
week and I have made a total of just over $42,000 and it's STILL 
coming in.......It's certainly worth $5, I 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.  The 
process is very simple and consists of 3 EASY steps:

	STEP 1: Get 5 separate pieces of paper and write the 
following on each piece of paper:  "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING 
LIST.  YOUR NUMBER BEFORE ME IS-___ (ENTER THE OTHER PERSONS 
NUMBER-----EXPLAINED IN STEP 2".  Then ad your address and email 
address.  Now get 5 $1 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 5 
pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope 
to prevent thievery.  Next, place one of the wrapped pieces of 
paper in each of the 5 envelopes( MAKING SURE THAT THE # BEFORE 
YOU ADDRESS MATCHES WITH THE ADDRESS ON THE FRONT OF THE 
ENVELOPE---THE 5 ORIGINAL ADDRESSES) and seal them.  You should 
now have 5 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating 
the above phrase and a $1 bill.  You have just created a service 
for putting peoples names and addesses on your mailing list.  
THIS IS PERFECTLY LEGAL!

	NOW, mail the 5 envelopes to the followig addresses:

1: Jeremy Callaway
   5365 S. Sunnyslope Rd.
   New Berlin WI
   53151, U.S.A.
   email: N/A

2: Matt Mac Donagh
   59 Washington St. #102
   Santa Clara CA
   95050, U.S.A
   email: N/A

3: Jason P.
   153 Du Quadrille St.
   Beauport, Quebec
   G1C 7C2, CANADA
   email: N/A

4: Neil Davis
   6 McCormack Gardens
   Lurgan, Co.Armagh,
   BT66 8LE
   N.Ireland, U.K.
   email: nei...@revolutionist.com

5: Joey Arsenault
   119 McSweeney Avenue
   Moncton, New Brunswick
   E1C 7E1, CANADA
   EMAIL: mo0...@nbcc.nb.ca

	STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off of the list that you see 
above, move the other 4 names up. (5 becomes 4, 4 becomes 3, 
etc...) and add YOUR NAME as number 5 on the list.

	STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this 
article as close to the original as possible.  Now, POST your 
amended article to at least 200 newsgroups.(I think there is 
close to 18,000 groups)  All you need is 200, but remember, the 
MORE you post, the more money you make!  Don't know HOW TO POST 
in the newsgroups?  Well do EXACTLY the following:

FOR NETSCAPE USERS,
	1) Click on any newsgroup, like normal.  Then click on 
'To News', which is in the top left corner of the newsgroup's 
page.  This will bring up a message box.
	2) Fill in the Subject with a FLASHY title, like the one 
I used.
	3) Now, go to the message part of the box and retype this 
letter exactly as it is here, with the exception of your few 
changes.(OR COPY AND PASTE, IF YOU USE THIS COPY)
(remember to add your name to nember 5 and move the rest up!)
	4) When your done typing in the WHOLE letter, click on 
'File' above the send button, then 'Save As...' DO NOT SEND YOUR 
ARTICLE UNTIL YOU SAVE IT. (so you don't have to type this 200 
times!)
	5) Now that you have saved the letter, go ahead and send 
your first copy!(click that 'Send Button' in the top left corner)
	6) THIS IS WHERE YOU POST ALL 200!  OK, go to ANY 
newsgroup article and click the 'To News' button again.  Type in 
your FLASHY subject in the 'subject box', then go to the body 
part of the massage and leave your cursor here.  Now click on 
'Attachment' which is right below the SUBJECT BOX. Click on 
'Attach File' then find your letter wherever you saved it. Click 
once on your file and then click 'Open' then click 'OK'.  If you 
did this right, you should see your filename in the 'ATTACHMENT 
BOX' and it will be shaded green.  NOW POST AWAY!!!!!!!!!

IF YOUR USING INTERNET EXPLORER:

	It's just as easy, holding down the left mouse button, 
highlight this entire article, then press the 'CTRL' key and 'C' 
key at the same time to copy this article.  Then print the 
article for your records to have the names of those you will be 
sending $1 to.  NEXT go to the newsgroups and press 'POST AN 
ARTICLE', type in your fancy subject and click the large window 
below.  Press 'CTRL' and 'V' and the article will appear in the 
message window. **BE SURE TO MAKE YOUR ADDRESS CHANGES TO THE 5 
NAMES**

	Now re-highlight the article and re-copy it so you have 
the changes... then all you have to do for each newsgroup is 
'CTRL' and'V' and then press 'POST'.  IT's That EASY!

	THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different 
newsgroups and post away.  After you get the hang of it, it takes 
about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! *****REMEMBER, THE MORE 
NEWSGROYPS 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 PO 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*****

	NOW THE WHY PART: Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 
5 replies (a very low example) So then I made $5 with my name at 
#5 on the letter.  Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1 
make the MINIMUM 200 POSTINGS, each with my name at the #4 and 
only 5 persons respond to each  of the original 5, that is 
another $25 for me.  Now, those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM POSTS 
with my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will bring 
in an additional $125!  NOW, those 125 persons turn around and 
post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #2 and only receive 5 
replies each, I will make an additional $625 dollars! 

	OK, NOW HERE'S THE FUN PART:  EACH of those 625 persons 
post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #1 and they each ONLY 
receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125!!!  With an original 
investment of only $5 dollars!  AMAZING! And as I said 5 
responces is actually VERY LOW! The average is probably 20 to 30! 
So let's put those figures at just 15 responces per person.  Here 
is WHAT YOU WILL MAKE!!!

at #5 $15
at #4 $225
at #3 $3,375
at #2 $50,625
at #1 $759,375

	When your name is no longer on the list, you just take 
the latest posting that is appearing in the newsgroups, and SEND 
OUT ANOTHER $5 TO THE NAMES ON THE LIST, PUTTING YOUR NAME AT 
NUMBER 5 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 RIGHT NOW!!!  So can you afford $5 dollars 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 WORK, I PROMISE YOU!!!  
You just have to be honest.  Make sure you print this article out 
RIGHT NOW.  Also, try to keep a list of everyone that sends you 
money and always keep an eye on the newsgroups to make sure 
everyone is playing fairly.  REMEMBER, HONESTY IS THE BEST 
POLICY.  YOU DON'T NEED TO CHEAT THE BASIC IDEA TO MAKE THE 
MONEY!!!

	GOOD LUCK TO ALL AND PLEASE PLAY FAIRLY AND YOU WILL 
ENSURE THAT WE ALL REAP THE HUGE REWARDS FROM THIS, WHICH IS TONS 
OF EXTRA CASH. **By the way, if you try to deceive people by 
posting the messages with your name in the list and not sending 
the money to the people already on the list, you will not get as 
much.  Someone I talked to knew someone who did that  and he only 
made about $150 dollars, and that's AFTER seven or eight weeks!  
Then he sent the 5 $1 bills, people added him to their lists, and 
in 4-5 weeks, he had over $10K.  THIS IS THE FAIREST AND MOST 
HONEST WAY I HAVE EVER SEEN TO SHARE THE WEALTH OF THE WORLD 
WITHOUT COSTING ANYTHING BUT OUR TIME!!!  You also may want to 
buy mailing and email lists for future $$$$$.

	Please think very carefully about ignoring this 
opportunity,  it WOULD be the worst move you ever make!!!  Please 
remember to declare your extra income.  Thanks once again.
