TAKE JUST 5 MINUTES TO READ THIS AND SEE.
This is the newest updated version.
As I was surfing the net, I read all these postings on how you can
make over $50,000, even $800,000. Well I believe that if all goes
well, and you follow the rules EXACTLY, it will work. Just follow the
instructions given in this letter, and you could make over $800,000,
perfectly legally according to USA Post Office Laws (read on for
specifics).
Don't look at this as a money-making scam, but rather a true-to-life
example to test the above statement. It will only cost you $6 dollars
plus 6 stamps, and a few hours of your time. Thus, there is some
effort involved, because nothing in life is absolutely free. Are you
ready and willing to accept that you deserve to receive a fair amount
of money? If so, please continue reading. But if you think this is
just another scam, I suggest that you don't try it.
PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A 6-PERSON LIST, NOT THE USUAL 5.
ND PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO CHEAT THIS PROGRAM. JUST ADD ONE NAME AND
REPOST THE ARTICLE.
IF YOU DO, IT WILL NOT WORK!
FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS AND JOIN US IN A GREAT OPPORTUNITY!
The program has been revised and you will notice six names instead of
five.
The reason for this is the flood of five name programs and the sixth
name will add $50000 to $100000. This is proven mathematically.
MAKE THE DECISION TO FOLLOW THRU THIS TODAY! THE SOONER YOU ACT ON THIS,
THE SOONER YOU WILL BENEFIT! After you will be done, it takes about a week
for the results to show. Just be patient and follow the
directions exactly.
Print this article now, so you have all the information for your
version.
Remember to keep the names right. Let's go!
STEP 1
Invest your $6 by writing your name and address on six separate pieces
of paper along with the words:
"PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING LIST".
(in this way, you are not just sending a dollar to someone; you are
paying for a legitimate service)
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.
Remember - people send you a small fee to be added to your list. It is
legal. What will you do with your list of thousands of names? That's
up to you, but this is how it becomes legal. To be legal you must
actually sell a product or service if you expect to receive a dollar.
Anyone sending a dollar back to you must receive something in return.
You have already received this letter due to the participation of each
of the 6 persons listed below. This letter and the plan given within
this letter are a "product" that you have received. Thus, you will be
sending $1.00 to each of the 6 persons given below in exchange for
receiving this letter and for asking them to provide the "service" of
adding you to their mailing list.
THIS IS A SERVICE AND IS A 100% LEGAL BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY WHICH IS
COVERED IN TITLE 18, SECTION 1302 AND 1342 OF THE POSTAL AND LOTTERY
LAWS.
Now, please follow the given steps exactly to receive your desired
amount of money:
Immediately send $1 US cash (a one dollar bill, no checks, no money
orders) to each of the 6 people on the list below. Wrap this dollar in
a note with the words: "Please put me on your mailing list." (In this
way, you're not just sending a dollar to someone, you're paying for a
legitimate service.
Also, to discourage those who prey on cash in the mail, be sure the
bill is completely hidden by the note. A woven envelope is
recommended.) Include your address. You do not need to include your
name. This is the key to the program! Also, let each person know what
number they are in your letter so he/she knows which cycle he is
receiving the $1.00 from. Make sure that you
retain EVERY name and address sent to you, either on computer or hard
copy, but do not discard the names and notes that people send to you.
This is PROOF that you are truly providing a service, and should the
IRS or some other government agency question you, you can provide them
with this proof!
Therefore, you will start a list of all the people who send you a
dollar requesting to be added to a mailing list. Actually, you will
want to safeguard this list because it can generate even better
responses and much more money later!
Fold a $1 bill inside each paper, and mail them by standard mail to
the following six addresses:
1/ Janice Boger
336 2nd Ave. NW #1
Hickory, NC 28601
2/ Sarah Miller
41- 2774 King St. East
Hamilton, Ontario
L8G 1J4
3/. Sean Quigg
116 S. Princton Ave.
Columbus, Ohio
43222
4/. V. Brown
P.O. Box 1336
Upper Marlboro,
Maryland, 20773-1336
5/ Ed Gray
PO Box 44316
Detroit, Mi.
48244-0316
6/ Occupant
P.O. Box 81023
Place St-Eustache
St-Eustache, Qc, CANADA
J7P 5M7
STEP 2
Now remove the top name from the list, and move the other names up.
This way #6 becomes #5 and so on. Put your name in as the #6 on the
list
STEP 3
LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH MONEY YOU CAN MAKE.
How do the numbers work for potential income earnings? Assume for the
sake of example that you get a 7.5% return rate. This is very
conservative.
1. You send out 200 letters, and 15 people (7.5% x 200) will send you
$1 each. $15.00
2. Those 15 send out 200 letters each, and 225 people send you $1
each. $225.00
3. Those 225 send out 200 letters each, and 3,375 people send you
$1 each. $3,375.00.
4. Those 3,375 send out 200 letters each, and 50,625
people send you $1 each. $50,625.00
5. Those 50,625 send out 200 letters each, and 758,375 people send you
$1 each. $759,375.00
TOTAL $813,615.00!! If those figures sound incredibly high, figure
that even with half the return rate, or even a quarter, the total is
still spectacular. It works every time, but how well will depend on
how many letters you send. In the above example you mailed out 200
letters.
This sounds like "pie in the sky," but the numbers add up, and with
over 40 million people on the NET, it works! TIP: For an even
greater return, post to MORE than 250 newsgroups initially; try for
300-350. When your name drops off a list, simply access another
message from a newsgroup and start the process over again.
Post the new article to at least 250 newsgroups. Remember, the more
you post, the more people see, and the more you get. There are at
least 25,000 newsgroups at any one time.
This is a $7.92 investment. It takes about a week or so to start
seeing a return- so be patient. The money should flow for about 3
months. At that point, simply add your name to the list and start
over.
I assure you this can work.
If you mailed out 500 letters, you could have received even more!
Check the math yourself!. With this kind
of return, you have got to give it a try! Try it once, and you'll do
it again. Just make sure you send a dollar to each of the addresses on
the list above with a note asking to be added to their mailing list.
Together we will all prosper.
GOOD LUCK!!
GENERAL STEPS ON AUTOMATING THE PROCESS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have Netscape 3.0 do EXACTLY the following:
1) Click on any newsgroup 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 #6, 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
newsgroup 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 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 I.E. EXPLORER IT'S JUST AS EASY...HOLDING DOWN THE LEFT
MOUSE BUTTON, highlight this article. Then press the "ctrl" 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 "ctrl" 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 249 to go!! (Don't worry, each one takes
about 30 seconds, once you get used to it.
REMEMBER 250 IS THE MINIMUM. But the more you post the more money you
will receive.
AND THAT'S IT!! THEY ARE ONLY STEPS!!!
