Turn a measly $5 into $50,000!

Taking 5 minutes to read this text may be one of the best decisions
you
ever made.  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 I decided
I
had nothing to lose.

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. Joe Zimmerman, 2130 Bellefield Dr., Erie, Pa  16509

2. Zach Snyder, 2102 Delpjos Dr., Erie, Pa  16509

3. Chad Thompson, 157 Mallet Way, Stockbridge, Ga  30281

4. Ronald R. Heffler, 11125 Lackabee St., Leesburg, Fl 34788-4340

5. Stephan Konik,   P.O.  Box 118,  Milltown, NJ  08850
 *******************************************************************

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 you make, you 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, 5 000
people
make 200 postings each WITH YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 1 and you get a return
of
$50 000 before your 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 realize how many Internet Users
there
are? Do you realize how many times this scheme can be utilized 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.
