HI THERE!
Would you like to make thousands of dollars, quick and legally? Than

5 minutes to read this article, it's going to change our life! What is 5
minutes of the life that you now have. Are you just snoozing, doing the
same
old thing? YOU WANT CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE OR GET BACK THE CONTROL YOU
ONCE HAD? YOU WANT FINANCIAL FREEDOM????????
THAN YOU SHOULD READ THIS ARTICLE!!! IT'S TRUE!!
You can make up to or over $50,000.00 in 4 to 6 weeks, maybe sooner!
Keep reading if you want to take control of your life, if not, than have
a great day.
One day I was browsing thru the newsgroups and read an article like this
one. Since it that to do with making money, I was courious and decided
to give it a try, and this is what it said:
Here we go.
A little while back, I was browsing through these newsgroups, just like
you
are now and came across an article similar to this one that said you
could
make thousands of dollars in just weeks, with only an initial investment
of
$5.00!
So, I thought, "Yeah, right,it's got to be a scam", but I was curious,
like most of us, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send $1.00
to each of the 5 names and addresses stated in the article. You then
place
your own name and address in the article at the bottom of the list at
#5,
and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups (there are over 22,00).
So after thinking about it, and talking to my wife about it, who said I
was nuts!, what does she know, I'am nuts anyway, I figured what else was
I doing, and it's only 5 stamps and $5.00, right? Someone who has tried
it says:
"I started receiving money in the mail! I was shocked! I still figured
it would end soon, and didn't give it another thought. But then money
kept
coming in, tripling in size and multipying by 10 -20 times the amount
that I got the first week! In my first week I had made about 30 -40
dollars.
But by 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 my fourth week and I've made about $42,000.00 TOTAL, and the
money is still coming in.......". Let me tell how this works and most
importantly, why it works.....also make sure you print a copy of the
article NOW, so you get the information off of it, and begin making
money.
The process is very simple, and it consists of 3 EASY steps:
STEP 1: Get 6 seperate pieces of paper and write the following on each
sheet of paper........
" PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST."
It is also a good idea to put on that piece of paper the number of
persons
who you got the article from. Get five $1 dollar bills and place ONE
inside
each piece of paper that you just wrote on,and fold each piece of paper
so
the bill will not be seen in the envelope (other wise nosey people who
like to steal envelopes with money in it will get yours). Put one paper
inside the envelope and seal it.
Do the same for all 5, you should now have 5 envelopes sealed, EACH
have a piece of paper and a $1 dollar bill stuffed inside of the paper.
Make sure those words that were stated above are on each paper.
This is a service an 100% legal (refer to US CODE Title 18,
Section 130& 1342, and Title 39, Section 3005, of the Postal and
Lottery Laws).
NOW, BE SURE TO MAIL THE 5 ENVELOPES WITH THE PAPER AND $1.00 TO THE
FOLLOWING 5 ADDRESSES:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Roland Lafontaine 2233 Jeanne Dr. Hastings Michigan 49058
2. Carl Fodor RD1 Box Y1.E.5 Weirtin W.Va 26062
3. David Zahn 65 E.Washington St No. Attleboro, MA 02760
4. Jean-Louis Pion 44 Seneca St. Cumberland, RI 02864
5. John Marsella 2-2275 Credit Valley Road Mississauga, ON L5M 4N5
CANADA
------------------------------------------------------------------------
STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the
other 4 names up (5 becoming 4, 4 becoming 3, 3 becoming 2, ETC.)
You can slightly alter this article if you need to, editing what you
need to edit.
STEP3: Post your amended article (with your name at #5) to at least
200 newsgroups. There are at least 22,000 of them). All you need is say,
at least 200.
HOW TO DO THIS:
If you have Netscape 3.0 do EXACTLY the following:
1) Click on any newsgroup like normal, THEN click 'TO NEWS',
which is on the far left when you're at the newsgroups page.
This will bring down a WINDOW to type your message in.
2) Leave the newsgroup WINDOW like it is, CHANGE the subject box
to something flashy like, "NEED CASH" $$$$ or READ HERE $$$$.
3) Tab once and you should be ready to type. Now, retype (only once)
This whole article WORD FOR WORD, except to insert your name at
#5, and to remove #1 off the list.
4) When you're done typing the Whole article, click on FILE in
THIS WINDOW, RIGHT ABOVE SEND, NOT WHERE IT SAYS NETSCAPE NEWS
ON THE FIRST WINDOW. 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 SAVE IT.
ONCE SAVED, move to 5 below.
5) If you still have all of your text, send or post it 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 newsgroup the 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 the TAB once you're
in the body of the message, and then click on ATTACHMENTS, which
is below the SUBJECT BOX. You will get another WINDOW to come up.
Click on ATTACH FILE, then find YOUR file that you saved; Click
once on the file, and then Click OPEN, now Click OK; if you did
this right, you should see YOUR file name in the attachments box,
and it will be shaded.
*********************************************************************
IF YOU USE IE EXPLORER IT'S JUST AS EASY...
HOLDING DOWN THE LEFT MOUSE BUTTON HIGHTLIGHT 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. NEXT GO
TO THE NEWSGROUPS 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 HIGHTLIGHT AND COPY IT AGAIN. NOW EVERY TIME YOU POST
THE ARTICLE IN A NEWSGROUP, ALL YOU HAVE TO REPEAT "CTRL" AND "V"
AND PRESS POST.
7) 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, you see?
Now you just have 199 to go!!
(Don't worry, each one takes about 30 sec.,once you get used to it)
REMEMBER 200 is the MINIMUM.
The more you post the more money you will make!!!
AND THAT'S IT!!!!
THAT"S THE ONLY 3 STEPS THERE IS!!!!!!!!! You are now in the mail order
business and will start receiving your $1.00 envelopes from vaious
people all over the world within days!!!!!! JUST REMEMBER THE MORE
NEWSGROUPS YOU POST TO, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!!!
If you wish to stay anonymous, you can come up with a name, such
as"manager" or "investor". Just make sure all the addresses are CORRECT.
LET ME TELL YOU WHY THIS SYSTEM WORKS SO WELL!!!
Out of every 200 postings, let's say I ONLY receive 5 replies, which is
actually very low. So I made $5.00 with my name at #4.
Now then, each person who just sent me $1.00 makes say only 200
postings,
now with your name at #4, WHICH IS A TOTAL OF 1000 POSTINGS, not
including yours too. Now 50 people send you $1.00; that's $50.00 you
just made! Now then your new 50 agents post 200 each with your name at
#2,
or 10,000 POSTINGS(50x200).
Average return is 500 at $1.00 each is $500.00!!!
And finally, 5,000 people make 200 Postings each with your name at #1.
you now get a return of $50,000.00 before your name drops off the list.
And that's if everyone makes 200 Postings only, and if only 5 persons
respond!!!! When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the
latest posting that is appearing in the Newsgroups, and send out
another $5.00 to the names on the list, putting your name at #6 again.
And start posting again. The most important thing to remember is, to
realize that there are THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD
JOINING THE INTERNET EVERYDAY, THE EXPOSURE IS UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!
So, can YOU afford $5.00 and see if it really works? I did, and I
think you can too.
TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE AND MAKE SOME REAL MONEY, THIS IS THE
WAY!!!!!!
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 MILLIONS of HONEST USERS AND HONEST PEOPLE who are joining
the Internet and Newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try?
Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, everyday, with THOUSANDS
of those joining the actual Internet. REMEMBER, play FAIRLY and
HONESTLY and this WILL WORK,
I PROMISE YOU!!! YOU JUST HAVE TO BE HONEST.
Make sure you print this article RIGHT NOW, also, try to keep a list
of everyone that sends you money and always keep an eye on the
newsgroups to make sure everyone is playing fairly. REMEMBER HONESTLY
IS THE BEST POLICY.
YOU DON'T NEED TO CHEAT THE BASIC IDEA TO MAKE MONEY!!!!!
GOOD LUCK TO ALL AND PLEASE PLAY FAIRLY AND TOGETHER,
WE WILL PROSPER!!!!!!
**** By the way, if you try to decieve people by posting the messages
with your name on the list and not sending the money to the people
already on the list, you will not get much. Someone who did that
made $150.00, and that's AFTER 7 or 8 weeks!
Then he sent the 5 $1.00 bills, people added him to their lists, and in
4 to 5 weeks, he had received over $10,000.00
THIS IS THE FAIREST AND MOST HONEST WAY I HAVE EVER SEEN TO SHARE THE
WEALTH OF THE WORLD WITHOUT ANY COST EXCEPT SOME OF YOUR TIME
I wish you all the best of luck.
