 READ THIS!!!!

            ( NEW VERSION !       Legal Questions Addressed ! )

 I saw an article in an internet newsgroup telling me that 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 attorney, friends and
family
 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.
 After rejecting the idea at first, I realized all I had to lose was the
 $5 in my wallet.  I figured what the heck, and decided to give it a
shot.

 A friend told me that he invested $5 and two weeks later he began
receiving
 money in the mail!  Soon, hundreds, and then thousands of dollars began
to
 roll in.  Within 4 weeks, he had received a total of $32,445!  It came
 from everywhere in the world.

 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.  (See additional legal details below.)

 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, address, and country on 5 sheets of paper.  Below
that,
 write the words, "Please add me to your mailing list."  You should use
thick
 dark paper to discourage mail theft.  Fold a $1 bill in each piece of
paper
 and mail them to the following 5 addresses:

 
 1. Cuong Ho
    35-15 149th Place
    Flushing, NY 11354

 2. Micheal Strahan
    4520 - 18th Ave. So.
    Minneapolis, MN 55407

 3. T. K. Lucas
    P.O. Box 684
    Catskill, NY 12414-O684

 4. Rachael Spenadel
    11901 Bargate Ct.
    Rockville, MD 20852
 
 5. Ekim Sotnas
    2116 Baptist Hill Rd.
    Palmer, MA 01069
    

 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. You can do this by simply retyping the
 article or reposting it to other newsgroups with the edited addresses.

 3) Post the article to at least 200 newsgroups. There are 19,000, so
 it shouldn't be hard to find that many.

 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 will be. If you wish to remain
 anonymous, you may use a psuedonym, but make sure your address is
 correct.

 LEGAL ? ? ?

 People have asked me if this is really legal.  It is!  You are using
the
 Internet to advertise your business.  What is that business?  You are
 assembling a mailing list of people who are interested in home based
 computer and online businesses and methods of generating income at
home.

 People send you a small fee to be added to your list.  This is legal.
 What will you do with your list of thousands of names?  That is up to
you.
 You may sell it to direct marketing firms, share it, or do nothing with
it
 at all.  Either way, the money received is legal income.

 Follow the rules.  They're tried and true, they're legal, and they
 work.  No need to try to reinvent the wheel.  Also be sure to keep a
record
 of everyone who sends you a request.  This is your mailing list, and
the
 more it grows, the more it will be worth to you, and to others, such as
 direct marketing firms, who may wish to purchase your list at a later
date.


 NOW HERE IS WHY THE SYSTEM WORKS:

 The internet is growing at a tremendous rate - it doubles in size every
 4 months.  Think about it.  You see those 'Make Money Fast' posts more
 and more.  All that growth means profits for everyone who participates.
 There are no losers.

 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 ONLY 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??

 There are millions of internet users, and millions of new net surfers
 every month.

 Remember- read the instructions carefully, and play fairly. Thats 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.
 WHAT ARE 5 DOLLARS TO YOU ?
 YOU DO NOT NEED TO CHEAT THIS IDEA TO MAKE MONEY!!!
 This is the easiest way that you can make a buck.  Think how excited
 you'll be to open up your mailbox day after day!  Will it be $49?
 $122?  Start making your plans, because it can happen to you.

Extra section:
HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS FAST WITH YOUR WEB BROWSER:

If you have Netscape 3.0 do EXACTLY the following:

1) Click on any news group like normal, THEN click on 'TO NEWS', which
is on the far left when you're in the newsgroups page.  This will bring 
up a box to type a message in.


2) Leave the newsgroup box like it is, CHANGE the subject box to
something flashy, like, "NEED CASH $$$  READ HERE $$$" or "FAST CASH"!!!


3) Tab once and you should be ready to type.  Now, retype (only once) 
THIS whole article WORD FOR WORD, except insert your name at #5, and 
remove #1 off the list, plus any other small changes you think you
need to make.  Keep almost all of it the SAME!


4) When you're done typing the WHOLE article, click on FILE in THIS BOX, 
RIGHT ABOVE SEND, NOT WHERE IT SAYS NETSCAPE NEWS ON THE FIRST
BOX.  

Click on SAVE AS when you're under FILE.  Save your article as a text
file to your C: or A: drive.  DO NOT SEND OR POST YOUR ARTICLE UNTIL YOU
DO
THIS.  Once saved, move on to number 5 below.

NOTE: If you don't want to type in the whole article by hand, AND you
know
how to use a plain text editor (like Notepad), you can edit the file
ahead of
time, then attach it as shown in step 6.


5) If you still have all of your text, send or post to this newsgroup 
now by just clicking send, which is right below FILE, and right above 
Cc:.


6) Here's where you're going to post all 200.  OK, click on any news
group then click on 'TO NEWS', again in the top left corner.  Leave the
NEWSGROUPS BOX alone again, put a flashy subject title in the SUBJECT
BOX, hit TAB once you're in the body of the message

Click on ATTACHMENTS, which is below the SUBJECT BOX.  You will get
another box to come up.  Click on ATTACH FILE, then find YOUR file that
you saved; click on the file, and then click 'OPEN' now click on OK;
if you did this right, you should see your file name in the attachments
box, and it will be shaded green.


Note: If you don't want to type in the whole article and you know how to
use a plain text editor (Notepad), you can edit the file ahead of time,
then
attach it.



IF YOU USE IE EXPLORER IT'S JUST AS EASY...HOLDING DOWN THE LEFT
MOUSE
BUTTON,


highlight this article.  then press the "crtl" key and the "c" key at
the same time to copy this article.  then print this article for your
records, to have the names of those you will be sending $1 bills to.


2) Go to the news groups and press "post an article".  A window will
open.
Type in your headline in the subject area and then click in the large
window 
below.  Press "crtl" and then "v" and the article will be placed in the 
window.

If you want to edit the article, do so and then highlight and copy it
again.
Now every time you post the article in a new newsgroup all you have to 
repeat is "ctrl" and "v" and press post.

3) That's it.  Each time you do this, all you have to do is type in a 
different newsgroup, so that way, it posts to 200 DIFFERENT newsgroups,
or
more.


You see?  Now you just have 199 to go!! (Don't worry, each one takes
about 30 seconds, once you get used to it.

REMEMBER 200 IS THE MINIMUM.  The more you post the more money you will
receive.


AND THAT'S IT!!!
