You must read this!!!!!! I guarantee that it will change your
life!!!!!!
HERE'S A FUN WAY TO MAKE SOME EXTRA CASH !!!! WHO KNOWS
YOU MAY EVEN GET RICH !!!!!. You gotta be crazy! How on earth do you
think
you can buy 50 grand for lousy 5 bucks? Well, that's what I was
wondering,
too until I came across this letter. First of all, IT'S PERFECTLY LEGAL
!
(call 1-800-725-2161) if you have any questions about the following
opportunity to make $50,000.00 and that probably WITHIN LESS THAN TWO
MONTHS! Well, here it goes: I, like you maybe, am a 18 year old high
school student who
doesnt feel like working for minimum wage......well A little while
back,
came
across an article similar to this that
said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an
initial investment of $5.00! So I thought, yeah, right, this must be a
joke, "but like most of us I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it
said that you $1.00 to each of the 5 names and addresses stated in the
article. You then place your name and address in the bottom of the list
at #5, and send this article to at least 200 other people or
newsgroups.
(There are
thousands) No catch, that was it. I knew that was the opportunity I
had waited for a long time. I thougfht it was about time that the money
of the world gets into the right hands! YOURS, right? I never had a
doubt that this thing will actually work and even it it didn't, what
were 5 stamps and $5.00 for a try? As I mention before, like most of us
I was a little skepiical and a little worried about the legal aspects of
it all. So I checked it out with the US Post Office (1-800-725-2161)
and they confirmed that it is indeed legal! Now, that's how your story
WILL sound like, too if you participate: Well GUESS WHAT!! within 7
days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I still
figure it would end soon, and didn't give it another thought. But the
money kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $20.00 to $30.00
dollars. By the end of the second week I made a total of over
$1,000.00!!!!! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it's still
growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a toatl of just
$42,000.00 and it's still coming in. 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 consist of 3 easy steps:
STEP1: Get 5 seperate pieces of paper and write thr following on each
of
the paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 5 $1.00 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 enveloes and seal them. You should now have 5 sealed
envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase and a
$1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service by this. This is
perfectly legal! Mail the 5 envelopes to trhe following addresses:
#1 Anthony Onafowora
87 Eastern Parkway
Hillside, NJ 07205
#2 Peter Barnes
11 Webster Woods
St. Louis, MO 63119
#3 John McSorely
14926 Lake Manor Ct.
Chesterfield, MO 63017
#4 Ryan Gunn
12846 Beaver Dam Rd.
St. Louis, Mo 63131
#5 Tom Bj�rklund
Hein�slammentie 9
02860 Espoo, FINLAND
STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the
other names up (2 becomes 1, 3 becomes 2, ect..) and YOUR NAME as number
5 on the list.
STEP 3: Change anything you need to but try to keep this article as
close to the orginal as possible. Now, post your
article to at least 200 other people or newsgroups. (I think there is
close to 18,000
news 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: ** REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE
MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** If
these instructions are too complex to follow try Fort's "Free Agent."
It is freeware for non-commercial use. To download it, simply use a
search utility and type Forte Free Agent. You should be able to find
it. **That's it's! You will begin receiving money from around the
world within days! You may eventully want to rent a P.O. box due to the
large amount of mail you receive. If you wish to say 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: This
entire principkle works because it is in a format of an upsidew down
tree with thousands of branches. Everyone below you will see to it that
the tree continues because they want to get money. Those below THEM will
continue because THEY want to get the cash ect. Out of 200 postings,
say I receive only 5 replies ( a very low example). So then $5.00 with
my name at #5 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who sent me
$1.00 make the minimum 200 postings, each with my name at #4 and only 5
persons responds to each of the ordinail 5, that is another $25.00 for
me, now those 25 each make 200 minimum post with my name at #3 and only
5 reply each, I will bring in an additional $125.00 ! Now, those 125
PERSONS TURN AROUND AND POST THE MINIMUM 200 WITH MY NAME AT #2 AND ONLY
5 REPLIES EACH, i WILL MAKE AN ADDITIONAL $626.00! oK, NOW HERE IS THE
FUN PART, EACH OF THE PERSONS POST A MINimum of 200 letters with my name
ar #1 and they each receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!!
With a original investment of only $5.00! AMAZING! And as I said 5
responses is actually VERY LOW! Average is probable 20 to 30! So lets
put those figures at just 15 responses per person. Here is what you
will make at #5 $15.00. at #4 $225.00, at #3 $3,375.00, at #2
$50,625.00, at #1 $759,375.00. When your name is no longer on the list,
you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another
$5.00 to the names on the list, putting your name at number 5 and start
posting again. The thing to remember is that thousands of people all
over the world are joining the internet and reading these articles
everyday, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! And this will go on and on and on..
get the picture? Well, there's 5,000,000,000 people in the world and
most of them will eventually end up being hooked into the internet. So
there are virtually unlimited resources. Of course this will work the
best at the very begining so the faster you post, the better for YOU!
So can you aford $5.00 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 newsusers and new honest people who are joining the internet and
newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at
20,00 to 30,000 new users everyday, with thousands of those joining the
actual internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will work.
You just have to be honest. Make sure you print this article out RIGHT
NOW, also. Try to keep a list of everyone that you send money and
always keep and an eye on the news groups to make sure everyone is
playing fairly.
Remember HONESTLY 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 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 rest of 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 $150.00, and that't
after seven or eight weeks! Then he sent the 5 $1.00 bills, people
added him to their list, and in 4-5 weeks he had over $10 k. 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 E-Mail list for future dollars. Please remember to
declare your extra income.
Thanks once again.
