This is the best letter I've seen so far!
Is it possible? I'm not sure but I'm gonna try it.
I suggest you read too. I put my name on the list too.
I can't wait til the Mail comes pouring in!
_______________________________________________
Hello!
First off all, please read this carefully and seriously.
This is not some kind of scam like there have been numerously!!!
I've got some awesome news that I think you need to take two minutes to
read if you
have ever thought "How could I make some serious cash in a hurry???" , or
been in
serious debt, ready to do almost anything to get the money needed to pay
off those bill
collectors. So grab a snack, a warm cup of coffee, or a glass of your
favorite beverage,
get comfortable and listen to this interesting, exciting find!
Let me start by saying that I FINALLY FOUND IT! That's right! I found it!
And I
HATE GET RICH QUICK SCHEMES!! I hate those schemes like multi-level
marketing, mail-order schemes, envelope stuffing scams, telephone number
scams...
the list goes on forever. I have tried every darn get rich quick scheme
out there over the
past 12 years. I somehow got on mailing lists for people looking to make
money.
Well, when I was a teenager, these claims to 'get me rich quick' sounded
irresistible! I
would shell out $14.95 here, $29.95 there, $24.95 here, and another $49.95
there. I
had maxed out my new Circuit City Card AND my Visa...I was desperate for
money!!
So, I gave them all a chance but failed at every one of them! Maybe they
worked for
some people, but not for me. Eventually, I just tossed that JUNK MAIL in
the trash
when I got the mail. I recognized it right away. I can smell a money
scam from a mile
away these days, SO I THOUGHT....I thought I could sniff out a scam
easily. WAS
I WRONG!!
..I LOVE THE INTERNET!!! I was scanning thru a NEWSGROUP and saw an
article stating to GET CASH FAST!! I thought..."Here on the Internet??
Well, I'll
just have to see what schemes could possibly be on the internet." The
article described
a way to MAIL A ONE DOLLAR BILL TO ONLY FIVE PEOPLE AND MAKE
$50,000 IN CASH WITHIN 4 WEEKS! Well, the more I thought about it, the
more I
became very curious. Why? Because of the way it worked AND BECAUSE IT
WOULD ONLY COST ME FIVE DOLLARS (AND FIVE STAMPS), THAT'S
ALL I EVER PAY....EVER!!
Ok, so the $50,000 in cash was maybe an tough amount to reach, but it was
possible. I
knew that I could at least get a return of $1,000 or so. So I did it!! As
per the
instructions in the article, I mailed out ('snail mail' for you e-mail
fanatics) a single
dollar bill to each of the five people on the list that was contained in
the article. I
included a small note, with the dollar, that stated "Please Add Me To Your
List." I
then removed the first position name of the five names listed and moved
everyone up
one position, and I put my name in position five of the list. This is how
the money
starts rolling in! I then took this revised article now with my name on
the list and
REPOSTED IT ON AS MANY NEWSGROUPS AND LOCAL BULLETIN
BOARD MESSAGE AREAS THAT I KNEW. I then waited to watch the money
come in...prepared to maybe receive about $1000 to $1500 in cash or so....
But what a welcome surprise when those envelopes kept coming in!!! I knew
what
they were as soon as I saw the return addresses from people all over the
world-Most
from the U.S., but some from Canada, even some from Australia! I tell
you, THAT
WAS EXCITING!! So how much did I get in total return? $1000? $5000? Not
even!!! I received a total of $23,343!!! I couldn't believe it!!
I now have a brand new black sports-car to speak for, due to all of this!!
Now,after
almost 8 months, I am ready to do it again!!! So maybe it was possible to
get $50,000
in cash, I don't know, but IT COMPLETELY DEPENDS ON YOU, THE
INDIVIDUAL! You must follow through and repost this article everywhere
you can
think of! The more postings you achieve will determine how much cash will
arrive in
your very own mailbox!! It's just too easy to pass up!!!
Let's review the reasons why you should do this: The only cost factors
are for the five
stamps, the 5 envelopes and the 5 one dollar bills that you send out to
the listed names
by snail mail (Postal Service Mail). Then just simply repost the article
(WITH YOUR
NAME ADDED) to all the newsgroups and local BBS's you can. Then sit back
and,
(ironically), enjoy walking (you can run if you like! :o ) down your
driveway to your
mailbox and scoop up your rewards!! We all have five dollars to put into
such an easy
effortless investment with SPECTACULAR REALISTIC RETURNS OF $15,000 to
$25,000 in about 3-5 weeks! So HOLD OFF ON THOSE LOTTERY NUMBERS
FOR TODAY,EAT AT HOME TONIGHT INSTEAD OF TAKEOUT FROM
McDONALDS AND INVEST FIVE DOLLARS IN THIS AMAZING MONEY
MAKING SYSTEM NOW!!! YOU CAN'T LOSE!!
Remember: it's only FIVE dollars! Didn't you ever made the mistake to help
someone
with 5 dollars, never got it back and thought "What's 5 bucks anyway?" In
this case it's
a ticket to a LOT of money!
So how do you do it exactly, you ask? I have carefully provided the most
detailed, yet
straightforward instructions on how to easily get this underway and get
your cash on its
way.
SO, ARE YOU READY TO MAKE SOME CASH!!!?? HERE WE GO!!!
*** THE LIST OF NAMES IS AT THE END OF THIS ARTICLE. ***
OK, Read this carefully. Get a printout of this information, if you
like, so you can
easily refer to it as often as needed.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Take a sheet of paper and write on it the following:
"Please add my name to your list". This creates a service out of this
money making
system and thus making it completely legal, anywhere in the world.
ANYWHERE?
Yes, all the postal services are a member of the UPU, a worldwide postal
organisation.
They all have the same rules about sending money. You are not just
randomly sending
a dollar to someone, you are paying one dollar for a legitimate service.
2. Make sure you include your name and address. I assure you that, again,
this is
completely legal! You can inclose a little note to just say 'hi' as the
new member of this
'money-family'! For a neat little twist, also write what slot their name
was in: "You
were in slot 3", Just to add a little fun! This is all about having fun
and making money
at the same time!
3. Now fold this sheet of paper around a dollar bill (no checks or
money-orders, or all
the money will go to cashing them), and put them into an envelope and send
it on its
way to the five people listed. The folding of the paper around the bill
will insure its
arrival to its recipient. THIS STEP IS VERY IMPORTANT!! You don't want
your
money to go to greedy postal-workers, do you?
4. Now listen carefully, here's where you get YOUR MONEY COMING TO YOUR
MAILBOX. Look at the list of five people; remove the first name from
position one
and move everyone on the list up slot one on the list. Position 2 name
will now move
to the position 1 slot , position 3 will now become position 2, 4 will be
3, 5 wil be 4.
Now put your name, address, zipcode AND COUNTRY in position 5, the bottom
position on the list.
5. Now upload this updated file to as many newsgroups and local bulletin
boards'
message areas & file section as possible. Give a catchy description of
the file so it gets
noticed!! Such as: "NEED FAST CASH?, HERE IT IS!" or "NEED CASH TO PAY
OFF YOUR DEBTS??", etc. And the more uploads, the more money you will
make,
and of course, the more money the others on the list will make too.
LET'S ALL TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER BY BEING HONEST AND BY
PUTTING FORTH 120 PERCENT INTO THIS PROFITABLE & AMAZING
SYSTEM!!!
You'll reap the benefits, believe me!!! Set a goal for the number of total
uploads you'll
post, such as 15-20 postings or even more! There are really no limits,
since there are
far more newsgroups worldwide then you ever can post to! Always have a
goal in
mind!!! If you can UUE-encode the file when uploading, that will make it
easier for
the people to receive it and have it downloaded to their hard drive. That
way they get
a copy of the article right on their computer without hassles of viewing
and then saving
the article from the File menu. Don't alter the file type, leave it as an
MS-DOS Text
file. The best test is to be able to view this file using Notepad for
Windows 3.x or
WordPad for Windows '95. If the margins look right without making the
screen slide
left or right when at the ends of the sentences, you're in business!
6. If you need help uploading, simply ask the sysop of the BBS, or "POST"
a message
on a newsgroup asking how to post a file, tell them who your Internet
provider is and
PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS BE GLAD TO HELP. I would try to describe how to do
it but there are simply too many internet software packages with slightly
different yet
relatively simple ways to post or upload a file. Just ask for help or
look in the help
section for 'posting'. I do know that for GNN, you simply select 'POST'
then enter a
catchy description under the subject box, choose 'ATTACH', selecting 'UUE'
and NOT
'TXT', then choose 'Browse' to go look for the file. Find your text file
CASH.TXT and
click on it and choose 'OK'. Place a one line statement in the main body
section of the
message post screen. Something like "Download this to read how to get cash
arriving
in your mailbox with no paybacks!" or whatever. Just make sure it
represents its true
feasibility, NOT something like...
"Get one million dollars flooding in your mailbox in two days!"
You'll never get ANY responses!
7. And this is the step I like. JUST SIT BACK AND ENJOY LIFE BECAUSE
CASH IS ON ITS THE WAY!! Expect to see a little money start to trickle in
around
2 weeks, but AT ABOUT WEEKS 3 & 4, THE MONEY STORM WILL HIT YOUR
MAILBOX!! All you have to do is take it out of the mailbox and try not to
scream too
loud (outside anyway) when you realize YOU HIT THE BIG TIME AT LAST!!
8. So go PAY OFF YOUR BILLS AND DEBTS and then get that something special
you always wanted or buy that special person in your life (or the one you
want in your
life) a gift they'll never forget. ENJOY LIFE!
9. Now when you get low on this money supply, simply re-activate this
file again;
Reposting it in the old places where you originally posted and possibly
some new
places you now know of. Don't ever lose this file, always keep a copy at
your reach
for when you ever need cash. THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE TOOL THAT YOU CAN
ALWAYS RE-USE TIME AND TIME AGAIN WHEN CASH IS NEEDED!
HAVE FUN WITH IT!!!
