READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE!!!

I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while
back,
I was browsing through newsgroups and came across an article similar to
this
that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an
initial investment of $6.00! So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a
scam", but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it

said that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and addresses stated in
the
article. You then place your name and address in the bottom of the list
at
#6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. (There are
thousands)
No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few
people first, I thought about trying it. I figured: "what have I got to
lose
except 6 stamps and $6.00, right?" Then I invested the measly $6.00.
Well
GUESS WHAT!!... within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I
was
shocked?

I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my
first
week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had made a
total
of over $1,000.00! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it's
still
growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a
total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in rapidly. It's
certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have 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. I promise you that if
you
follow the directions exactly, that you will start making more money
that
you thought possible by doing something so easy! Suggestion: Read this
entire message carefully! (print it out or download it.) Follow the
simple
directions and watch the money come in! It's easy. It's legal. And, your

investment is only $6.00 (plus postage). IMPORTANT: This is not a
rip-off;
it is not indecent; it is not illegal; and it is virtually no risk - it
really works!!! If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you

will receive extraordinary dividends.

PLEASE NOTE: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more
can
be yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of
the
honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its success
by
carefully adhering to the instructions. You will now become part of the
Mail
Order business. In this business your product is not solid and tangible,

it's a service. You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists.
Many
large corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists.
However,
the money made from the mailing lists is secondary to the income, which
is
made from people like you and me
asking to be included in that list. Here are the 4 easy steps to
success:

STEP 1:
Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of
paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 6 US $1.00 bills and

place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill will not be
seen
through the envelope (to prevent thievery). Next,
place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. You should now

have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above
phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is
creating a service. This is absolutely legal? You are requesting a
legitimate service and you are paying for it! Like most of us I was a
little
skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I
checked it out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they
confirmed
that it is indeed legal! Mail the 6 envelopes to the following
addresses:



1) M. Treat, 617 Carpenter, Jacksonville, AR. 72076, USA
2) C. Koibita, 6400 West Boulevard #222, Los Angeles, CA 90043, USA
3) Ed Gaio, 1675 East Main St. #330 Kent, OH 44240, USA
4) Sarah Little #208 1676 W.11th Ave, Vancouver BC,V6J 2B9, Canada
5) John Hassell AMB 1299, 1112 Weston Road / PMB 300, Fort Lauderdale,
Fl
33326
6) Gerard Knight 46 Nfld. Dr. St. John's, NF A1A 3E8 Canada
Step 2:
Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other
names
up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc....) and add YOUR name as number 6 on
the
list.

STEP 3: C
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 are close to
24,000 groups.) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post,
the
more money you make! This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts,
refer
to Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1241 of the Postal lottery laws. Keep a copy of
these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money,
you can use it again, and again. PLEASE REMEMBER that this program
remains
successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants and
by
their carefully adhering to the directions. Look at it this way, if you
are
of integrity, the program will continue and the
money that so many others have received will come your way, too. NOTE:
You
may want to retain every name and address sent to you, either on a
computer
or hard copy and keep the notes people send you.
This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might be
a
good idea to wrap the $1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail
theft.) So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully
followed, six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a
List
Developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list
geometrically so that when your name reached the #1 position you will be

receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What an opportunity for only
$6.00
($1.00 for each of the first six people listed above). Send it now, add
your
own name to the list and you're in business!

DIRECTIONS FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS
STEP 1:
You do not need to re-type letter to your own posting. Simply put your
cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your cursor to the
bottom of
this document, and select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the
entire letter into the computer's memory.
STEP 2:
Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top of the
blank
page. From the 'edit' menu select 'PASTE'. This will paste a copy of the

letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the bottom of the
list
and to change the numbers of the list.
STEP 3:
Save your new notepad file as a ".text" file. If you want to do your
postings in different settings, you'll always have this file to go back
to.
STEP 4:
Use Netscape or Internet Explorer and try search for various newsgroups
(on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions).
STEP 5:
Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by
highlighting the text of this letter and selecting 'PASTE' from the edit

menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as

they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group, click
the post message button. You're done with your first one!
Congratulations... That is it! All you have to do is jump to different
newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of it, it will take
about
30 seconds for each newsgroup! ** REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST
IN,
THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200**
That
is it! You will begin receiving money form around the world within days!
You
may eventually want to rent a P.O. 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
$5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now,
each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200
postings,
each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the
original
5, this is an additional $25.00 for me. Now those 25 each make 200
MININUM
posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each. This brings in an
additional $125.00. Now, those 125 persons turn around and
post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and receive 5 replies each, I
will
make an additional $625.00. Ok, now here is the fun part, each of those
625
people post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they receive 5
replies each. That just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will
all
deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5

persons per 200 react, I will receive an additional $15,625.00!! With an

investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the
list,
you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another

$6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6 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 are now!! So, can you afford $6.00 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?
Anyway,
it is only $6.00 for a chance at thousands. 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 really work. You wouldn't want someone to cheat you the same way
you
may be cheating!
