NO - NOT AT A CASINO - RIGHT HERE ON THE INTERNET!

Taking 5 minutes to read this may be one of the best decisions you
ever make.

My name is not important. What is important is what happened to me.  
In December of 1994, my business went bankrupt because of the poor
state of the economy.  My cars were repossessed and debt collectors
were hounding me like you would not believe.  I owed thousands and
bankruptcy seemed to be my only future.  My family, my reputation, my
sanity, and my life was at stake. I became very ill. On January
9,1995, I saw an article on an internet newsgroup telling me I
could make $50,00 within 4 weeks for an investment of only $5.  I
thought it was a huge joke!  I spoke to my attorney and friends about
it and they thought likewise.  But after three days of desperate
struggle in court to keep from going bankrupt, I decided I had
nothing to lose. My family and I, in desperation, grasped at straws
and sent $1 by  snail mail to each of the 5 names and addresses
specified in the article.  We. Then placed our own
name and address in the article and posted it in 200 other newsgroups.
Two weeks later, I started receiving money in the mail!  I could not
believe it!  Hundreds of dollars turned into thousands, and in the
four weeks, I received a total of  $57,883.  It came from all over the
world. If you follow the three steps below, there is no reason
whatsoever that why the same should not happen to you.  This is a
perfectly legitimate investment opportunity.  You invest $5 and you
receive 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 5 addresses:

1. Deborah Gorham, 2541 High Ridge, Jennings Mo, 63136
2. Mike Burek, 2007 Sunny Brook Dr., Austin ,Tx. 78723-3451  USA
3.  Julio Guerrero, 2501 Lake Austin Blvd J-102, Austin Tx 78703, USA
4.  Amy Cole, 2452 Bullock Rd., Bay City , MI 48708 USA
5.  Dave Scott, 3399 E. Stone Mountain ln., Sandy, UT, 84092  USA


Step 2. Now remove the 1st name from the top of the list 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 newsgroups. (There
are 17000 of them) You are now in the mail order investment business
and you will start to receiving $1 returns 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 you address is correct!

NOW LET ME TELL YOU WHY THIS SYSTEM WORKS!

Of every 200 postings I made, I 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 postings 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. =
5000 returns at $1 each =$5,000.  Finally, 5000 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 MAKES ONLY 200 POSTINGS!

TOTAL INCOME IN ONE CYCLE $55,500.

From time to time, when your name drops off 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 GRATER YOUR RETURN. Let's review the reasons you
should do this:  The only cost factors are 5 stamps, five 
envelopes, and $5. Anyone can afford five dollars to put into such an
effortless investment with SPECTACULAR RETURNS!  

Some people have said to me "What if the scheme gets played out and no
one sends me any  money?"  Big deal!  You loose $5.  BUT, WHAT IF IT
WORKS! Think of what you stand to gain!
Do you realize how many newsgroups there are?  Do you realize how many
time this can be played out over and over, with COMPLETELY NEW people
participating? THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF NEWSGROUP USERS
EVERY MONTH!
Remember, read the instructions carefully and PLAY FAIRLY....That's
the only way this will work for everyone.  Get a printout so you can
refer back to this article easily.

There is always the temptation to NOT send the money, and re-post the
article anyway.  There is nothing to keep you from doing this...But
remember that if the people who re-post  YOUR article do the same,
then you make no money either.  LET'S ALL BE HONEST, 
AND WE CAN ALL MAKE A LOT OF MONEY!!

REMEMBER, HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY.

Enjoy!

We're not that stupid!!!

Anyone wanting to do this could easily copy the letter and not even send 
any money! That's probably what most of these jackasses do and keep 
trying to get money from any newsgroup they can! Stop Damnit!!
