Hello!

I'm not going to bullshit any of you. Here's the lowdown. I've never
done a get rich quick scheme before, and this will be the first time
I've ever tried one. I'm not sure if it will work or not, my feelings
are that it won't. But, what the hell, you might as well try
everything once. 

I'm not going to tell you any feel good stories about how some people
I know have gotten rich off of these, because truthfully -- I don't
know anyone who has. However, I do realize the potential of this.
Think of this -- you send $1 to 5 people that you see. There are
700,000 internet users. Not everyone is going to see your post, but
the potential is there for up to at least 1 million people to see your
post. Maybe 1 in 10 would try it, maybe lest. Doesn't matter, but
there is definitely the potential that you could make a killing off of
this!! Then you post your name up there, and if a few people decide to
send you money, you've made some mad cash! 

I can understand the logic behind these things, and I think they could
definitely work. Then again, they might not. But, like I said, what's
$5?

If you're interested, here are the neccessary steps...


STEP 1.
 
Invest your $5 by writing your name and address on five seperate
pieces of paper along with the words: "PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING
LIST."  In this way, you're not just sending a dollar to someone;
you're paying for a legitimate service.  Fold a $1 bill, money order,
or bank note inside each paper, and mail them by standard U. S. Mail
to the following five addresses:
    
     1- MARION VERRY
        1040 LUNALILO ST.
        #702 HONOLULU, HI 96822
        USA
 
     2- STEVE ROGERS
        1915 S. SAGAMONT #5
        SPRINGFIELD, MO  65807
        USA
 
     3- DAVID ALDRICH
        181 COLUMBIA ST.
        CLYDE, NY  14433
        USA

     4- DAN TANNER
         1 ROYAL COURT
         FRANKLIN, MA  02038
         USA

     5-  BENJAMIN GRIMES
         166 LAKEWOOD DRIVE
          WILLIAMSBURG, VA 23185
          USA


STEP 2.
 
     Now remove the top name from the list, and move the
     other names up. This way, #5 becomes #4 and so on.
     Put your name in as the fifth one on the list.
 
STEP 3.
 
     Post the article to at least 250 newsgroups.  There are at
     least 19000 newsgroups at any given moment in time.
     Try posting to as many newsgroups as you can.  Remember
     the more groups you post to, the more people will see your
     article and send you cash!
 
     You are now in business for yourself, and should start seeing
     returns within 7 to 14 days! Remember, the Internet is new
     and huge. There is no way you can lose.
 
     Now here is how and why this system works:
 
     Out of every block of 250 posts I made, I got back 5 responses.
     Yes, thats right,only 5.  You make $5.00 in cash, not checks or
     money orders, but real cash with your name at #5.
 
     Each additional person who sent you $1.00 now also makes 250
     additional postings with your name at #4, 1000 postings.  On
     average then, 50 people will send you $1.00 with your name at
     #4,....$50.00 in your pocket!
 
     Now these 50 new people will make 250 postings each with your
     name at #3 or 10,000 postings.  Average return, 500 people= $500.
     They make 250 postings each with your name at #2= 100,000
     postings=5000 returns at $1.00 each=$5,000.00 in cash!
 
     Finally, 5,000 people make 250 postings each with your name at
     #1 and you get a return of $60,000 before your name drops off
     the list.  And that's only if everyone down the line makes only

     250 postings each!  Your total income for this one cycle is     
     $5,000.
 
     From time to time when you see your name is no longer on the 
     list,  you take the latest posting you can find and start all   
     over again.
     The end result depends on you. You must follow through
     and repost this article everywhere you can think of.
     The more  postings you  make, the more cash ends up in
     your mailbox. It's too easy and too cheap to pass up!!!
     So thats it. Pretty simple sounding stuff, huh? But believe me, 
     it works. There are millions of people surfing the net every day,

     all day, all over the world. And 100,000 new people get on the 
     net every day. You know that, you've seen the stories in the 
     paper.
     So, my friend, read and follow the simple instructions and play
     fair. Thats the key, and thats all there is to it. Print this out
     right now so you can refer back to this article easily. Try to   
     keep an eye on all the postings you made to make sure everyone is
     playing fairly. You know where your name should be.
     If you're really not sure or still think this can't be
     for real, then don't do it. But please print this article and

     pass it along to someone you know who really needs the bucks, and

     see what happens.
 
     REMEMBER....HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY.YOU DON'T
     NEED TO CHEAT THE BASIC IDEA TO MAKE THE BUCKS!
     GOOD LUCK TO ALL, AND PLEASE PLAY FAIR AND YOU WILL
     WIN AND MAKE SOME REAL INSTANT FREE CASH!
 
 PLEASE GIVE EVERY ONE A CHANCE AND BE HONEST, AND THIS WILL REALLY
WORKS
                 TRY IT !!!!!!!!!!
