Turn a measly $5 into $50,000!
Taking 5 minutes to read this text may be one of the
best decisions you ever made. IT WORKS!
My name is not important. What is important is what
happened to me. In June 1994, my business went bankrupt
because of the poor state of the economy. My cars were
repossessed and debt collectors were hounding me like
you would not believe. I owed thousands and bankruptcy
seemed to be my only future. My family, my reputation,
my sanity and my life was at stake. I became very ill.
In September 1994, I saw an article in an Internet
Newsgroup telling me 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 in
court to keep from going bankrupt, I decided I had
nothing to lose. My family and I in desperation, grasped
at straws and sent $1 by snail mail to each of 5 names
and addresses specified in the article. We then placed
our 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.
The procedure is very simple.
*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. Patrick Kinkin
21 Timberwick Dr,
Flemington, NJ. 08822
2. Cal Cooper
8726 Serene Ridge
San Antonio, Texas USA
3. John Bond
1419 Lake St.
Wausau, WI. 54401
4. T.S.
4719 Reed Rd #302
Columbus OH 43220
5. Tim Bivens
2000 Cheyenne Dr
Circleville OH 43113
*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 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!
* NOW LET ME TELL YOU WHY THIS SYSTEM WORKS! *
Of every 200 postings I made, 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 number 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, 5000 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 realise how many Internet Users there
are? Do you realise how many times this scheme can be
utilised 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.
