MAKE A FORTUNE AND RETIRE IN THREE MONTHS - THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE
TRUTH! IF YOU HAVE READ THIS FAR YOU HAVE ALREADY PROVED IT WORKS!!
TAKE JUST 5 MINUTES TO READ THIS AND SEE. ***THIS IS NOT A JOKE OR A
SCAM. THIS IS A LEGITIMATE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY THAT WILL
REVOLUTIONIZE THE WAY YOU LIVE
*** This is the newest updated version (July 1997).

 As I was browsing these news groups,just like you are now, I came
across an artile similar to this that said you could make thousands of
dollars within weeks with only a initial investment of $6.00! I
thought, "Yeah, right, this must be a scam", like most of us, but I
was curious, like most of us, so I kept reading. The article went on
to explain as I will, how you can make over $50,000, even $800,000 in
a matter of months with very little effort and it's perfectly legal!!
Well I believe that if all goes well, and you follow the rules
EXACTLY, it will work. Just follow the instructions given in this
letter, and you to can make over $800,000, perfectly legally according
to USA Post Office Laws (read on for specifics). Don't look at this as
a money-making scam, but rather a true-to-life example to test the
above statement. It will only cost you $6 dollars plus 6 stamps,
and a few hours of your time. Thus, there is some effort involved,
because nothing in life is absolutely free. Are you ready and willing
to accept that you deserve to receive a fair amount of money? If so,
please continue reading. But if you think this is just another scam, I
suggest that you don't try it. PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A 6-PERSON
LIST, NOT THE USUAL 5. AND PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO CHEAT THIS
PROGRAM. JUST ADD ONE NAME AND REPOST THE ARTICLE. IF YOU
DO NOT IT WILL NOT WORK, AND YOU WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE
LIST! FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS AND JOIN US IN A GREAT 
OPPORTUNITY! The program has been revised and you will notice six
names instead of five. The reason for this is the flood of five name
programs and the sixth name will add $50000 to $100000. This is proven
mathematically and in my bank account. I never really thought that
this program would work, but IT DOES and it will for you too. Just be
patient and follow the directions exactly and you will be sitting on
the beach in matter of months. Print this article now, so you have all
the information for your version. Remember to keep the names right. 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's go!

STEP 1
Invest your $6 by writing your name and address on six separate pieces
of paper along with the words: "PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING LIST".
(in this way, you are not just sending a dollar to someone; you are
paying for a legitimate service) People have asked me if this is
really legal. It is! You are using the Internet to advertise your
business. What is that business? You are assembling a mailing list of
people who are interested in home based computer and on-line
businesses and methods of generating income at home. Remember - people
send you a small fee to be added to your list. It is legal. What will
you do with your list of thousands of names? That's up to you, but
this is how it becomes legal. to be legal you must actually sell a
product or service if you expect to receive a dollar. Anyone sending a
dollar back to you must receive something in return. You have already
received this letter due to the participation of each of the 6 persons
listed below. This letter and the plan given within this letter are a
"product" that you have received. Thus, you will be sending $1.00 to
each of the 6 persons given below in exchange for receiving this
letter and for asking them to provide the "service" of adding you to
their mailing list. THIS IS A SERVICE AND IS A 100% LEGAL BUSINESS
OPPORTUNITY WHICH IS COVERED IN TITLE 18, SECTION 1302 AND 1342 OF THE
POSTAL AND LOTTERY LAWS. Now, please follow the given steps exactly to
receive your desired amount of money- DO NOT TRY TO CHEAT THE SYSTEM-
EVERYONE WILL WIN IF YOU JUST DO WHAT THIS LETTER SAYS: Immediately
send $1 US cash (a one dollar bill, no checks, no money orders) to
each  of the 6 people on the list below. Wrap this dollar in a note
with the words: "Please put me on your mailing list." (In this way,
you're not just sending a dollar to someone, you're paying for a
legitimate service. Also, to discourage those who prey on cash in the
mail, be sure the bill is completely hidden by the note. A woven
envelope is recommended.) Include your address. You do not need to
include your name. This is the key to the program! Also, let each
person know what number they are in your letter so he/she knows which
cycle he is receiving the $1.00 from. Make sure that you retain EVERY
name and address sent to you, either on computer or hard copy, but do
not discard the names and notes that people send to you. This is PROOF
that you are truly providing a service, and should the IRS or some
other government agency question you, you can provide them with this
proof!  Therefore, you will start a list of all the people who send
you a dollar requesting to be added to a mailing list. Actually, you
will want to safeguard this list because it can generate even better
responses and much more money later!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fold a $1 bill inside each paper, and mail them by standard mail to
the following six addresses:  

1/.Rob B. 83 Chieftain Crescent Barrie, Ontario Canada L4N 6J2 

2/.Jason Wynn, 40-95 Oakville Ave London, ON Canada N5V 2S3 

3/.SRP, 10443 N. May Ave. #624 OKC, OK. 73120 USA 

4/.Greg Liesman, 8416 Hwy ZZ Lot 015 Cuba, Mo. 65453 USA 

5/.Bengt-�ke Johansson Fj�llgimmegatan, 9B 313 33 Oskarstr�m Sweden 

6/.Marc T., 2159 Monson Cr., Gloucester Ont., Canada, K1J6A7

STEP 2  - Now remove the top name from the list, and move the other
names up. This way #6 becomes #5 and so on. Put your name in as the #6
on the list .

STEP 3 -  LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH MONEY YOU CAN MAKE. How do
the numbers work for potential income earnings? Assume for the sake of
example that you get a 7.5% return rate. This is very conservative; my
first attempt was about 9.5%, and my second was over 11%. 1. You send
out 200 letters, and 15 people (7.5% x 200) will send you $1 each.
$15.00 2. Those 15 send out 200 letters each, and 225 people send you
$1 each. $225.00 3. Those 225 send out 200 letters each, and 3,375
people send you $1 each. $3,375.00. 4. Those 3,375 send out 200
letters each, and 50,625 people send you $1 each. $50,625.00 5. Those
50,625 send out 200 letters each, and 758,375 people send you $1 each.
$759,375.00 TOTAL $813,615.00!! If those figures sound incredibly
high, figure that even with half the return rate, or even a quarter,
the total is still spectacular. It works every time, but how well will
depend on how many letters you send. In the above example you mailed
out 200 letters. This sounds like "pie in the sky," but the numbers
add up, and with over 40 million people on the NET, it works! TIP: For
an even greater return, post to MORE than 250 newsgroups initially;
try for 300-350. When your name drops off a list, simply access
another message from a newsgroup and start the process over again.
Post the new article to at least 250 newsgroups. remember, the more
you post, the more people see, and the more you get. There are at
least 25,000 newsgroups at any one time. This is a $7.92 investment.
It takes about a week or so to start seeing a return- so be patient.
The money should flow for about 3 months. At that point, simply add
your  name to the list and start over. I've done this three times and
now I can quit my job and start investing in my publishing business
full time - from the Bahamas!! I assure you this can work. The first
time I read one of these advertisments I was skeptical-just like you
are now, but I thought if it dosen't work - So what!! I spend more
than $6.00 on the lottery. Guess what? This has paid off, the lottery
has not. If you mail out 500 letters, you could receive even more!
Check the math yourself, but I guarantee it's correct. With this kind
of return, you have got to give it a try! Try it once, and you'll do
it again. Just make sure you send a dollar to each of the addresses on
the list above with a note asking to be added to their mailing list.
Together we will all prosper and we will be able to share our wealth
with those less fortunate than ourselves. GOOD LUCK!! GENERAL STEPS ON
AUTOMATING THE PROCESS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 If you have Netscape 3.0 do EXACTLY the following: 
1) Click on any newsgroup like normal, THEN click on 'TO NEWS', which
is on the far left when you're in the newsgroups page. This will bring
up a box to type a message in.
 2) Leave the newsgroup box like it is, CHANGE the subject box to
something flashy, like, "NEED  CASH $$$ READ HERE $$$ or "FAST
CASH"!!! 
3) Tab once and you should be ready to type. Now, retype (only once)
THIS whole article WORD FOR WORD, except insert your name at #6, and
remove #1 off the list, plus any other small changes you think you
need to make. Keep almost all of it the SAME! 
4) When you're done typing the WHOLE article, click on FILE in THIS
BOX, RIGHT ABOVE END,
NOT WHERE IT SAYS NETSCAPE NEWS ON THE FIRST BOX. Click on SAVE
AS when you're under FILE. Save your article as a text file to your C:
or A: drive. DO NOT SEND OR POST YOUR ARTICLE UNTIL YOU DO THIS. Once
saved, move on to number 5 below. NOTE: If you don't want to type in
the whole article by hand, AND you know how to use a plain text editor
(like Notepad), you can edit the file ahead of time, then attach it as
shown in step 6.
 5) If you still have all of your text, send or post to this newsgroup
now by just clicking send, which is right below FILE, and right above
Cc:
 6) Here's where you're going to post all 200. OK, click on any
newsgroup then click on 'TO NEWS', again in the top left corner. Leave
the   NEWSGROUPS BOX alone again, put a flashy subject title in the
SUBJECT BOX, hit TAB once you're in the body of the message. Click on
ATTACHMENTS, which is below the SUBJECT BOX. You will get another box
to come up. Click on ATTACH FILE, then find YOUR file that if you did
this right, you should see your file name in the attachments box, and
it will be shaded green. NOTE: If you don't want to type in the whole
article and you know how to use a plain text editor (Notepad), you can
edit the file ahead of time, then attach it. IF YOU USE I.E. EXPLORER
IT'S JUST AS EASY...HOLDING DOWN THE LEFT MOUSE BUTTON, highlight this
article. Then press the "ctrl" key and the "c" key at the same time to
copy this article. Then print this article for your records, to have
the names of those you will be sending $1 bills to.
 2) Go to the news groups and press "post an article". A window will
open. Type in your headline in the subject area and then click in the
large window below. Press "ctrl" and then"v" and the article will be
placed in the window. If you want to  edit the article, do so and then
highlight and copy it again. Now every time you post the article in a
new newsgroup all you have to repeat is "ctrl" and "v" and press post.

3) That's it. Each time you do this, all you have to do is type in a
different newsgroup, so that way it posts to 200 DIFFERENT newsgroups,
or more. You see? Now you just have 249 to go!! (Don't worry, each one
takes about 30 seconds, once you get used to it. REMEMBER 250 IS THE
MINIMUM. But the more you post the more money you will receive. AND
THAT'S IT!! THEY ARE ONLY STEPS!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(this is a later addition for extra ease of posting) EXTRA TIPS:-
(ONLY) IF YOU ARE CONFIDENT WITH YOUR COMPUTER YOU CAN AUTOMATE YOUR
POSTINGS (and prevent spamming) AS FOLLOWS: (THIS Replaces the
previous section only i.e. 'GENERAL STEPS ON AUTOMATING THE PROCESS')
(using Netscape): As you are reading this message click on "file" -
"save message as", enter a filename in the 'save as' dialog box, press
"enter". Now open "Notepad" (usually from "start" - "programs" -
"accessories") and open the message ( "file" - "open" ) you just
saved. (You will find it in the same folder you saved it and you may
also find it has a '.html' file extension). Then edit the letter
EXACTLY as you have been directed above. Just make sure you delete the
'system-message' that appears at the top so that it makes sense when
you read it! Click on "edit" - "select all" (all the text should now
be highlighted) then again "edit" - "copy". Leave Notepad alone for
now and return to the Netscape News program: Click on "options" -
"show all newsgroups". Now select (subscribe to) whichever groups you
think are suitable by moving down the entire listing and cicking in
the appropriate empty boxes. Once you have finished click "options" -
"show subscribed newsgroups". Now simply click on the first group
you want to post to, to highlight it. Then choose the group about 10
further on and WHILE HOLDING DOWN THE SHIFT KEY click on it. Next
click on "file" - "new news message". A message box will appear and
after entering the "flashy" subject line, position the cursor in the
main message area. Click on "edit" -"paste"; the message will appear.
NOW CHECK IT!! When you are satisfied everything is correct click
"send" and it will be sent to all 10 groups. Now repeat as many times
as you need- very simple! PLEASE NEVER post to many more than 10 with
any one message since the resulting long lines of newsgroup listings
at the top of EVERY message will annoy many AND will vastly reduce the
effectiveness of your posting. JUST ONE OTHER THING: Let's remember
that there are many people far less fortunate than ourselves who will
never be able to afford a computer and hence will be unable to join in
our enterprise. Therefore please consider donating a (significant)
portion of your earnings from the venture to charity. NOTE - "edit" -
"copy" is exactly the same as pressing "ctrl" with "c" "edit" -
"paste" is exactly the same as pressing ctrl" with "V".
