THIS IS THE FAIREST MOST HONEST WAY I KNOW OF TO SHARE THE WEALTH!!

        Hello! Would you like to make thousands of dollars, quickly,
legally, with NO CATCH? Then keep reading.... Please take a few
minutes to read this article, it will change your life, just like it
did mine. It's true! You can make up to or over $50,000 in just 4-6
weeks, maybe sooner! I SWEAR I'M NOT LYING TO YOU, AND THIS IS NOT A
SCAM! If your interested, please, keep reading. If your not, Then I
apologize for wasting your time.  Here we go, a little while back, I
was browsing these
newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar
to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks
with only an initial investment of $5! So I thought, "Yeah, right,
must be a scam", but I was curious, like most of us, so I kept
reading. Anyway, it said that you send $1 to each of the 5 names and
addresses stated in the article. You then place your own name and
address in the bottom of the list at #5, and post the article in at
least 200 newsgroups. (THERE ARE
THOUSANDS!)
        No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking
to a few people first, I tried it. I figured what have I got to lose
except for 5 stamps and $5, right?   Well GUESS WHAT!... within 7
days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I still
figured it would end soon, and didn't give it another thought. But the
money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about 20 to 30
dollars. By the end of the second week I had a mad total of over
$1,000!!!! In the third week I had over $10,000 and it's still
growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just
over $42,000 and it's STILL coming in......... It's certainly worth
$5, I spent more than that on the lottery!
        Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, WHY it
works... also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you
can get the information off of it as you need it. The process is very
simple and consists 3 EASY steps:

STEP 1: Get 5 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each
piece of paper  "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST. YOU ARE NUMBER
4."  now get 5 $1 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 5 pieces of
paper so 
the bill will not be seen through the envelope to prevent thievery.
Next, place one paper in each of the 5 envelopes and seal them.  You
should now have 5 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating
the above phrase and a $1 bill. What you are doing is creating a
service by this. THIS IS PERFECTLY LEGAL!
              
              NOW, Mail the 5 envelopes to the following addresses:

        1: M.P. Murphy; 303 Soule Road, Wilbraham, MA 01095

        2: T Thiemer 6425 W. Norwich Ave #116 Greenfield, WI 53220

        3: Jeremy Callaway 5365 S. Sunnyslope Rd., New Berlin WI,
53151    
   
        4: Matt Mac Donagh 59 Washington st. #102, Santa Clara CA
95050

        5: RichRhinoR, 3516 N 110th Ave, Avondale AZ, 85323
       
STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off of the list that you see above, move
the other 4 names up. ( 5 becomes 4, 4 becomes 3, etc..) and add YOUR
NAME as number 5 on the list. 

STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as
close to original as possible.  Now, Post your amended article to at
least 200 newsgroups. ( I think there is close to 18,000 groups) All
you NEED is 200, but remember, the MORE you post, The more money you
make! Don t know HOW to post in the newsgroups? Well do EXACTLY the
following:

FOR NETSCAPE USERS,
1) Click on any newsgroup, like normal. Then click on 'To News', which
is in the top left corner of the newsgroups page.
This will bring up a message box.
2) Fill in the Subject with a FLASY title, like the one I used.
3) Now, go to the message part of the box and retype this letter
exactly as it is here, with the exception of your few changes.
           (remember to add your name to number 5 and move the rest
up) 
4) When your done typing in the WHOLE letter, click on 'File'  above
the send button. then, 'Save As..' DO NOT SEND YOUR           ARTICLE
UNTIL YOU SAVE IT. (so you don't have to type this 200 times :) 
5) Now that you have saved the letter, go ahead and send your first
copy! (click that send button in the top left corner)
6) THIS IS WHERE YOU POST ALL 200! OK, go to ANY newsgroup  article
and click the 'To News' button again. Type in your flashy subject in
the SUBJECT BOX, then go to the body part of the message and leace
your cursor here. NOW click on            'Attachment' which is right
below the SUBJECT BOX. click on attach file then find you letter
wherever you saved it. click once on your file and then click 'open'
then click 'OK'. IF  you did this right, you should see your filename
in the attachment box and it will be shaded green. NOW POST AWAY!!

IF YOUR USING INTERNET EXPLORER:
It's just as easy, Holding down the left mouse button, highlight this
entire article, then press the 'CTRL' key and 'C' Key at the   
     same time to copy this article. Then print the article for your
records to have the names of those you will be sending $1 to. NEXT go
to the newsgroups and press 'POST AN ARTICLE' Type in your fancy
subject and click the large window below. Press 'CTRL' and 'V' and the
article will appear in the message window. **BE SURE TO MAKE YOUR
ADDRESS CHANGES TO THE 5 NAMES**     Now re-highlight the article and
re-copy it so you have the changes... then all you have to do for each
newsgroup is 'CTRL' and 'V'. and press 'POST' IT's That EASY! THAT'S
IT! all you have to do is jump to different            newsgroups and
post away, after you get the hang of it, it  take about 30 seconds for
each newsgroup! **REMEMBER, THE             MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST
IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF
200**

That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the world within
days! You may eventually want to rent a PO BOX due to the large amount
of mail you receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a
name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE
ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT**

Now the WHY part: Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a
very low example) So then I made $5 with my name at #5 on the letter.
Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1 make the MINIMUM 200
postings, each with my name at #4 and only 5 persons respond to each
of the original 5, that is another $25 for me, now those 25 each make
200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each,
I will bring in an additional $125! NOW, those 125 persons turn around
and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #2 and only receive 5 replies
each, I will Make an additional $625 dollars! OK, NOW here is the FUN
part, EACH of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my
name at #1 and they each ONLY receive 5 replies, that just made me
$3,125!!! With a original investment of only $5 dollars! AMAZING! And
as I said 5
responses is actually VERY LOW! average is probably 20 to 30! so lets
put those figures at just 15 responses per person. Here is What you
will make! at #5 $15 at #4 $225 at #3 $3,375 at #2 $50,625 at #1
$759,375         When your name is no longer on the list, you just
take the latest posting that is appearing in the newgroups, and SEND
OUT ANOTHER $5 TO THE NAMES ON THE LIST, PUTTING YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 5
AGAIN. And start posting again. The thing to remember is, do you
realize that THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD ARE JOING THE
INTERNET AND READING THESE ARTICLES EVERYDAY, JUST LIKE YOU ARE RIGHT
NOW!!! So can you afford $5 dollars and see if it really works? I
think so..... People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no
one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that
happening when there are TONS OF NEW HONEST USERS AND NEW HONEST
PEOPLE who are joining the Internet and newsgroups everyday and are
willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users,
every day, with THOUSANDS of those joining the actual Internet.
Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this WILL WORK, I PROMISE
YOU!!! You just have to be honest. Make sure you print this article
out RIGHT NOW, also. Try to keep a list
of everyone that sends you money and always keep an eye on the
newgroups to make sure everyone is playing fairly. REMEMBER, HONESTY
IS THE BEST POLICY. YOU DON'T NEED TO CHEAT THE BASIC IDEA TO MAKE THE
MONEY!! 
GOOD LUCK TO ALL AND PLEASE PLAY FAIRLY AND YOU WILL REAP THE HUGE
REWARDS
FROM THIS, WHICH IS TONS OF EXTRA CASH. ** By the way, if you try to
deceive people by posting the messages with your name in the list and
not
sending the money to the people already on the list, you will
not get as much. Someone I talked to knew someone who did that and he
only made about $150 dollars, and that's AFTER seven or eight weeks! 
Then he sent the 5 $1 bills, people added him to their lists, and in
4-5 weeks, he had over $10K. THIS IS THE FAIREST AND MOST HONEST WAY I
HAVE EVER SEEN TO SHARE THE WEALTH OF THE WORLD WITHOUT COSTING
ANYTHING
BUT OUR TIME!!! You also may want to buy mailing and email lists for
future $$$. Please remember to declare your extra income. Thanks once
again.
