Taking 5 minutes to read what follows can change your life :
I saw an article in an internet newsgroup telling me I could
make $50,000 within a month for an investment of only $5.
I thought it was a huge joke. I spoke to my wife, attorney
and friends about it, and they all agreed it was some kind
of scam. I can't stand scams, because usually someone gets
burned, and I didn't want it to be me. Of course, I rejected
the idea at first. after a short period of about two weeks
,I thought : "I have already heard of such things. But on
the Internet ?!?!? ". I decided that even if I had to throw
5$ 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 $32,445! It came from everywhere in the world. My
bank account has changed its "-" into a big "+" (++++)!!!,I
bought myself a car 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 address 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. Vic Williams
14307 Virtue Rd.
Lenoir City, Tn 37772 USA
2. Bill Brown
148 South Downlen #796
Beaumont, Tx. 77707 USA
3. Olivier Arcadipane
237 rue Francois Andre
7390 Quaregnon BELGIUM
4. Josef Malzer,
Brandhof 1
4701 Bad Schallerbach
EUROPE - AUSTRIA
5. Per Bornsjo,
Kullagardsvagen 11
433 63 Partille
SWEDEN
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 on the list. Use a simple text
editor such as Notepad, in your "accessories" window (If
you have MS-Windows),or DOS editor. In fact, any editor
will do.
3) Post the article to at least 200 newsgroups. There are
17,000, so it shouldn't be hard to find that many. Try
posting to as many newsgroups as you can, and the bigger
the newsgroup is, 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=5000 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 one cycle=$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 is 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 50,000.00 $$$$ ???? 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. Everyone 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 everyone 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, I don't want to mention what might happen to those who
won't. AND AGAIN,SEE YOU NEXT TIME WITH SOMETHING YOU
WANTED FOR A LONG TIME !!!

Taking 5 minutes to read what follows can change your life :
"I read an article, someone had kindly posted on an Internet
newsgroup, describing how to send A ONE DOLLAR BILL TO ONLY
FIVE PEOPLE AND MAKE $50,000 IN CASH WITHIN ABOUT 4 WEEKS!!"
=
OK. Here's my try. I just sent $5 to five different people
around the world.
Why should I do it? Here's what I think :
I don't typically trust "get rich schemes". We've all seen
them on late night television -and we've all tuned them out.
The difference with this was it was only $5.00 --the cost of
a lunch, and a quick turnover.
What if nobody responds? Well, I am responding already
-- other people did too. And, even if the amount returned
is not as great as folks tell us -- even if it's only $2000,
$1000, or even $500 -- I would just put in $5 on the
possibilities. And, think, what if it IS true and $50,000
comes in about four weeks.
OK, so maybe $50,000 in cash is a tough amount to reach, but
it doesn't keep me from trying.
Well, I don't know about you folks, but I will do it, so
plenty of other people must be doing it too. I think they
are helping themselves and others.
The remainder of this article is a message from someone else
who knows better how it works.
____________________________________________________________
I read an article, someone had kindly posted on an Internet
newsgroup, describing how to send A ONE DOLLAR BILL TO ONLY
FIVE PEOPLE AND MAKE $50,000 IN CASH WITHIN ABOUT 4 WEEKS!!!
Of course, I thought this was rediculous at first. Then,
after a short period, I saw another one in a newsgroup I go
to a lot. The more I thought about it, the more I became
curious. I thought, "I have already heard of such things
-- but on the Internet ?!?!? Maybe this is legitimate!"
Besides, what's $5,00 ? I decided that even if I had to
throw $5 into the fire, I wouldn't mind it much, and gave it
a try. After all, I needed a LOT more than five dollars.
I carefully followed the instructions and then waited to
watch the money come in ... prepared maybe to receive about
$1000 to $1500 in cash or so ...
Two weeks later, I began receiving money. It was indeed
unbelievable! What a welcome surprise when those envelopes
kept coming!! I knew 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 some from Europe, Japan
and Australia! I tell you, THAT WAS EXCITING !!
Soon, hundreds, and then thousands of dollars began to roll
in like an avalanche! So -- how much did I get in total ?
$1,000 ? $5,000 ? Not even !!! Within 4 weeks, I had
received a total of $32,445 ! My bank account changed
its "-" into a big "+"(++++)!!! I bought myself a car and
things I wanted for a long time for my wife and kids!
There is not any reason why the same shouldn't happen to you.
If you're not interested then don't participate.
It seems to work for other folks:
* Mike Walsh -- claims that he recd nearly $47,000
* Markus Valppu -- says he made $57,883 in four weeks
* Dave Manning -- claims $53,664 in same amt of time
* Dan Shepstone -- says it was only $17,000 for him
* Oliver Arcadipane -- claims $32,445 within four weeks
Do I know these folks? No, but when I read how they say they
did it, it made sense to me. Enough sense, that I'm taking a
similar chance with $5 of my own money. Not a big chance, I
admit -- but one with incredible potential, because $5 is
all anyone ever risks -- PERIOD. That's all Mike, Markus,
Dave, Dan, or Oliver needed, yet their $5 netted them tens
of thousands of dollars each.
So, how do you do it, you ask? It's truly simple. Go ahead
and get a printout of this information:
STEP 1
Write the following on five separate pieces of paper:
a) a name, address, and e-mail
b) name of the newsgroup where you learned of it
c) the words "PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR LIST"
(You are not just sending a dollar to someone;
you are paying for a legitimate service.)
d) as a courtesy, also write the position their
name was in: "You were in position 3"
STEP 2
Now, fold each piece of paper around a $1 dollar bill
(no checks or money orders), and deliver them on the
way to the following five people. Folding the paper
around the bill will ensure its arrival to an intended
recipient. This step is important.

......................................................
STEP 3
Now, listen carefully -- here's where you get YOUR
MONEY COMING. Look at the list of five people; remove
the top name from the list, and move everyone up one
position. This way #5 becomes #4 and so on. Put your
name, address, postal code, and COUNTRY in the fifth
one on the list using a simple text editor.
=
STEP 4
Now, take this revised article with your name on the
list and repost it to as many newsgroups as you can
-- try for more than 200 newsgroups. There are at
least 17,000 newsgroups, so it shouldn't be hard to
find that many. Remember, the more groups you post to,
and the bigger the newsgroup is, the more people will
see your article and the greater probability they may
send you cash!
If you wish to be anonymous, you may use a psuedonym.
-- call yourself "The Boss" or something -- whatever,
just be sure the address is correct.
Give a catchy title -- something like "EA$Y MONEY",
"FA$T CA$H", "NEED CASH TO PAY OFF DEBTS?". The more
posts, the more money you may get -- and, of course,
the more money others on the list probably make too.
REMEMBER, BE HONEST AND EVERYONE MAY MAKE MONEY FROM
THIS EASY CONCEPT. You can reap the benefits, believe
me !!
Now, hypothetically, here is why it should work:
- Of every 200 posts I made, I received 5 responses. Yes
only 5. You could make $5 for every 200 posts with
your name at #5.
- Each person who sends you $1 now makes an additional
200 postings with your name at #4. ie. 1000 postings
On average, therefore, 50 people could send you $1
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 =3D $500. They make 200 postings each with your
name at #2 =3D 100,000 postings =3D 5,000 return at $1
each =3D $5,000.
- Finally, 5,000 people make 200 postings with your name
at #1 and you could get a return of $50,000 before
your name drops off the list. AND THAT'S IF EVERYONE
DOWN THE LINE MAKES 200 POSTINGS ! Total in one cycle
$55,000
Remember 200 postings is only a guideline. The more you
post, the greater the probability of return. Maybe it is
possible to get $50,000 in cash -- I don't know, IT LARGELY
MAY DEPEND ON THE INDIVIDUAL. You can follow-through and
repost this article everywhere you can think of ! The more
postings you achieve can affect how rewarding the experience
will be. It's just too easy !!!
LET'S ALL TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER BY JUST BEING HONEST AND
BY PUTTING FORTH 150 PERCENT OF EFFORT. Please, don't take
away the hope from deserving people, just like you, who did
already put in their money the right way.
From time to time when you see your name is not still on the
list, if you want, you can take the latest posting you can
find and start all over again.
Let's review why you may want to do this. Almost anyone can
afford $5 with the possibility of such SPECTACULAR RETURNS.
Some people have said, "What happens if no one sends me any
money?" Big Deal -so you lose $5 -but what are the chances
of that happening? Are you willing to try on the possibility
of such BIG money as 50,000.00 $$$$ ???? -- all just for the
microscopic amount of five separate dollars? Just think of
all the new Internet users that join every day !!!
So, that's it. Pretty simple sounding stuff, huh? There are
millions of people surfing the net every day, all day, all
over the world. You know that -- you've seen the stories in
the paper. There are millions of new net surfers every
month !!! This is the great plus of the Internet -- people
all over the world can hear you and will listen if you talk
reasonably. If this wasn't the Internet, and was a smaller
circle of people, the possibilities would be different -- if
the amount of money had to be bigger, it wouldn't succeed.
But here, on the Internet, it is a giant village, where
thousands of members join every day! One can hardly lose !!
So pay off your bills and debts. HOLD OFF ON THOSE LOTTERY
NUMBERS FOR TODAY -OR- EAT AT HOME TONIGHT INSTEAD OF
TAKEOUT FROM McDONALDS (You can make up for it later). Then
you can JUST SIT BACK, RELAX AND WAIT FOR THE RESPONSES TO
ARRIVE !! The first one or two weeks will be slow, but it
will pick up. =
REMEMBER -- HONESTY IS THE BEST POSSIBILITY. YOU DO NOT NEED
TO CHEAT THIS IDEA TO MAKE MONEY !!
