THIS IS NOT A GET RICH QUICK SCHEME
IT REALLY WORKS...READ ON
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello!  I have some great news that you should take a couple of 
minutes to read.  Have you ever wondered, "How could I make some 
serious cash in a hurry?"  Are you in serious debt, willing to do 
almost anything to get the money you need to pay off your creditors?  
Well, "almost anything" has arrived.

Let me preface the idea I am about to present by saying that IT ISN'T 
A GET RICH QUICK SCHEME.  I HATE THOSE!  I can't stand multi-level 
marketing, mail-order schemes, envelope stuffing scams, 900 number 
scams, and the like.  If you've tried these ideas, you've probably 
been saddled with JUNK MAIL from people who think your only goal in 
life is to fall for stupid scams.  Let me assure you, this is not a 
stupid scam.  IT IS THE INTERNET AT ITS BEST!

I was scanning through a NEWSGROUP when I saw an article entitled 
"NEED CASH NOW?  HERE IT IS!!"  I thought to myself, "What get rich 
schemes could possibly be on the Internet?"  Although I was skeptical, 
I decided to read the article.  It described a way to MAIL A ONE 
DOLLAR BILL TO ONLY FIVE PEOPLE AND MAKE $50,000 IN CASH WITHIN 4 
WEEKS!  Well, I thought about it and became more curious.  Why?  A 
$50,000 RETURN ON A $5 INVESTMENT (NOT INCLUDING FIVE FIRST CLASS 
STAMPS) AIN'T HALF BAD.  Besides, THAT'S ALL I'LL EVER PAY...EVER!

Admittedly, $50,000 in cash might be a tough amount to reach.  
However, I have heard about people who followed through on the idea I 
am about to present to you and made more than $30,000.  Best of all, 
it's all perfectly legal.

You begin by mailing (via "snail mail" for you e-mail junkies) a one 
dollar bill to each of the five people listed at the end of this 
article.  You include a small note with the dollar that reads "Please 
add me to your list."  This is an important step; you are buying the 
service of being added to someone else's list.  That's how this idea 
stays above board and legal.  You then remove the first position name 
on the list of five names at the end of this article.  Bump everyone 
else on the list up one slot and put your name in position number 
five.  This is how the money starts rolling in!  Now, take the revised 
article (with your name in slot five) and REPOST IT ON AS MANY 
NEWSGROUPS AND LOCAL BULLETIN BOARD MESSAGE AREAS AS YOU CAN.  You'll 
be suprised at the money you'll make.

*** THE LIST OF NAMES IS AT THE END OF THIS ARTICLE ***

Let's review the reasons you should do this.  First, the only cost 
factors are the five one dollar bills, the five envelopes, and the 
five postage stamps that you send out to the listed names via the good 
ol' United States Postal Service.  Then, simply repost the article 
(with your name added) to all of the newsgroups and local BBS's you 
possibly can.  Finally, just sit back and let the money come to you.
IN SHORT, YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE!

OK, then, here are the steps one more time...INSTRUCTIONS:

1.  Take a sheet of paper and write "Please add me to your list" on 
it.  This creates a service out of this money making system, allowing 
it to be completely legal.  You aren't randomly sending a dollar to 
someone, you are paying a dollar for a legitimate service.  Make sure 
you include your name and address on the paper.

2.  Fold this sheet of paper around a dollar bill (no checks or money 
orders allowed) and put them into an envelope.  Send an envelope 
containing a note and a one dollar bill to each of the five people 
listed.  The folding of the paper around the bill will ensure its safe 
arrival to its recipient.  THIS STEP IS VITAL!

3.  Now, listen carefully...THIS IS WHERE YOU MAKE YOUR MONEY.  Look 
at the list of five people; remove the first name on the list and move 
everyone on the list up one slot.  The name in slot 2 will move to 
slot 1, the name in slot 3 will move to slot 2, and so on.  Put your 
name, address, zip code, AND COUNTRY (people from around the world 
will be sending you money, IT'S THE INTERNET) in position 5, the 
bottom position on the list.

4.  Post this updated article to as many newsgroups and local bulletin 
boards as you can.  Don't be shy.  Give it a catchy description so it 
gets noticed.

5.  As Ross Perot would say, "Here's the beauty part."  JUST SIT BACK 
AND ENJOY LIFE BECAUSE THE CASH IS ON ITS WAY!  Expect to see a little 
money trickle in around two weeks after you posted the article.  ONCE 
YOU HIT WEEKS THREE AND FOUR, THE MONEY STORM WILL HIT YOUR MAILBOX.  
Try not to scream too loud (at least not outside) when you realize 
that YOU'VE HIT THE BIG TIME AT LAST!

NOTE:  HONESTY IS THE BEST THING WE HAVE GOING FOR US ON THIS PLAN.  
Try to keep a list of everyone who sends you a dollar.  Always keep an 
eye on the local postings of this file, just to make sure that 
everybody is playing the game fairly.  You know where your name should 
be.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE NAMES LIST * THE NAMES LIST * THE NAMES LIST * THE NAMES LIST 
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
REMEMBER, HONESTY IS WHAT MAKES THIS PROGRAM SUCCESSFUL!
Send one dollar wrapped in a note marked "Please add me to you list" 
to the following people:

else up one slot, and add your name and address in slot five before 
sending this out again.
