: NOT AT A CASINO - RIGHT HERE ON THE NET! : Taking 5 minutes to read this text may be one of the best decisions you : ever made. My name is not important. What is important is what happened to : me. : On 9 June 1996, I saw an article in an Internet Newsgroup telling me : 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. : I thought that I had nothing to loose so sent $1 by snail : mail to each of 5 names and addresses specified in the article. I then : placed my 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 4 : weeks, I received a total of $53,586. It came from all over the world. : If you follow the 3 simple 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. RASHAD.A, P.O.BOX 1311 STATION H MONTREAL,PQ H3G 2N3 CANADA : 2. STEVE MYLONAS, P.O.BOX 7480, LANCASTER, PA., 17604-7480 USA : 3. GREG ANGEVINE, SITE 36, BOX 11 RR2, CALGARY, AB T2P 2G5 CANADA : 4. SUNG LEE, 689 DOGWOOD DR, LAWRENCEVILLE, GA 30245 USA : 5. TIM PHILLIPS, 1250 WOODCREST DR. APT#6108, DAYTONA BEACH, FL 32114 USA : 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. : HOW THE 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 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 you 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 : 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 realise how many Internet Users there are? Do you realise how : many times this scheme can be utilised over and over again - with : COMPLETELY NEW people participating? : 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. : REMEMBER - HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY. : ENJOY! Tim Phillips ERAU tim...@enterprise.america.com
