I tried this, and made my 50,000 bucks in just 4 days --- count them --- 4. I cain't beleive there are so many totally and completely stupid people out there who are willin' to piss $5 down the drain. One guy has done sent me $5, eight times! I guess this ijiot was thankin he would git $400,000 in ree-turn, but all he is got to show for it is 40 bucks gone to me. I sure do hopes that there are plenty more'n you ignernt peeple out there, who is plumb moonstrick 'nough to send me some more of yourn $5 bills.

I spoke to my wife, attorney and friends about it, and they all agreed it was some kind of scam. I can`t stand scams, because usually someone gets burned, and I didn`t want it to be me. Of course, I rejected the idea at first. After a short period of about two weeks, I thought: `I have already heard of such things. But on the Ineternet?!?!?`. I decided that even if I had to throw $5 into the fire, I wouldn`t mind it that much, and gave it a try. After all I needed a LOT more than five dollars. > > Two weeks later, I began receiving money in the mail! I could not believe it! Soon, hundreds, and then thousands of dollars began to roll in. Within 4 weeks, I had received a total of $34,512! It came from everywhere in the world. My bank account has changed its �-� into a big �+� (++++)!!!, I bought myself a new computer and things I wanted for a long long time for my wife and kids! > > If you follow the three steps below, there is no reason why the same 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, then 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 and adress on 5 sheets of paper. Below that, write the words, �Please add me to your mailing list.� Fold $1 note or bank draft or money order in each piece of paper and mail them to the following 5 addresses: > > 1. Chris Lecair > 39 Girley Rd > Edison, NJ 08817 > > 2. Scott Goyette > 1640 Aquarena Springs Drive #2802 > San Marcos, Texas 78666 > > 3. Sam > 27248 Grano Avenue > Saugus, CA 91350 > > 4. Peter Brannan > 32 Kelman Road > Kelston > Auckland, New Zealand > > 5. Jan van de Broek > Postbus 258 > 2040 AG Zandvoort > The Netherlands > > 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 the fifth one the list. Use a simple text editor such as SimpleText (if you use a Macintosh). In fact, any editor will do. > > 3) Post the article to at least 200 newsgroups. There are more than 20.000, so it shouldn`t be hard to find that many. Try posting to as many newsgroups as you can, and the bigger the newsgroup, the more people are to see your message! > > You are now in the mail order investment business, and should start seeing returns within a week or two. Of course, the more newsgroups you post to, the greater your return is. If you wish to remain anonymous, you may use a psuedonym, call yourself �The Manager�, �The Boss�, whatever but make sure your address is correct. > > Now, here is why the system works: > > - Of every 200 posts I made, I received 5 responses. Yes, only 5. You make $5 for every 200 posts with your name at #5. > > - Each person who sent you $1 now also makes 200 additional postings with your name at #4. ie. 1000 postings. On average therefore, 50 people will send you $1 with your name at #4. $50. > > - Your 50 new agents make 200 postings each with your name at #3 or 10,000 postings. Average return 500 people = $500. They make 200 postings each with your name at #2 = 100,000 postings = 500 return at $1 each = $5000. > > - Finally, 5,000 people make 200 postings with your name at #1 and you get a return of $50,000 before your name drops off the list. AND THATS IF EVERYONE DOWN THE LINE MAKES 200 POSTINGS! Total income in onecycle = $55,000. > > 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, and put your name at #5, and start posting again. Remember, 200 postings in only a guideline. The more you post, the greater the return. > > Lets review why you should do this. THE ONLY COST IS $5, AND 5 STAMPS, AND 5 ENVELOPES. Anyone can afford $5 for such an effortless investment with such 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 that NOBODY cares for the LEGAL chance of winning such a BIG money as 50,000 $$$ ??? and all for a microscopic investment of five separate dollars? Just think of all of the new Internet users that join the net every day!!! > > There are millions of Internet users, and millions of new net surfers every month!!! This is the great plus of the Internet, people all over the world can hear you and listen carefully if you talk reasonably. Everone will take that chance!! I agree, If it wasn`t the Internet, and was a small circle of people, the chance wouldn`t have been so small. The amount of money had to be 200 times bigger, and the chances were zero. It wouldn`t succeed. > > But here, on the Internet, it is a giant village, where new thousands of members join in every day! You CAN`T lose!!!! > > 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 everybody 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!!! BESIDES, NOT PLAYING THE GAME FAIRLY IS ILLEGAL. SO LET`S BE REASONABLE AND PLAY FAIRLY, SO WE CAN ALL ENJOY THE INTERNET GOLD MINE. > > GOOD LUCK FOR YOU ALL, And remember, play fair and you`ll win!! > > Best regards, > Jan van de Broek >
