THIS IS FOR REAL. IT IS LEGITIMATE AND NOT A SCAM.

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

Hello!

Would you like to make thousands of dollars, quick, legally, with NO
CATCH? Then keep reading ... please take five 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 4-6 weeks, maybe sooner!

I SWEAR I'M NOT LYING TO YOU, And THIS IS NOT A SCAM! If you're
interested, keep reading; if you're not dont read this mesage.
Here we go. A little while back, I was browsing through these
newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to
this that said you could make thousands of dollars in weeks with only an
initial investment of $5! So, I thought, "Yeah, right, must be a scam",
but I was curious and tryed this. 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 article at 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, taling 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 then money kept coming IN, tripling in size and
multiplaying by 10-20 times the amount thet I got the first week! In my
first week I made about 60 dollars. But by the end of the second week, I
had made a total of over $1,350!!! In the third week, I had over $12,000
dollars, and it's still growing. This is my fourth week in the third
turn and I've made about $47,000. Totaly I've made about $130,000

dollars in three month!!!

Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, WHY it works ...
also, make sure you print a copy of the article NOW, so you get the
information off of it, and begin making money.


**    The process is very simple, and it consists of 3 EASY steps:   **

STEP 1: Get 5 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each
sheet of paper ..."PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST. YOU ARE NUMBER
4." Get five US$1 bills and place ONE inside each piece of paper that
you just wrote on, and fold each piece of paper so the bill will not be
seen in the envelope (otherwise, nosy people who like to steal envelopes
with money in it will get yours). Put one paper inside the envelope and
seal it. Do the same for all 5. You should now have 5 envelopes sealed,
EACH have a piece of paper AND a US$1 bill stuffed inside of the paper.
Make sure those words that were stated above are stated on each paper.
What you are doing is creating a service by this, this is PERFECTLY
LEGAL. Now then, mail the 5 envelopes with the paper and $1 in each to

the following 5 addresses:

1.    M. Farra 317 Prince Albert Rd, Dart. N.S Canada b2y-1n4

2.    K. David Blk 310 Ang Mo Kio Ave 1 #03-1307 Singapore 560310

3.    D. Irme Nemuno 72-20 Panevezys, Lithuania 5300

4.    T. Yong Blk 4 Marine Vista #21-55 Singapore 449028

5.    J. Bentham Flat 40, 50 Roman Road, London E2 OLT, UK


NB: When mailing overseas, please ensure AIRMAIL STICKER is attached to
envelope.

STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the
other 4 names up (5 becomig 4, 4 becoming 3, ect.) and put YOUR NAME as
number 5 on the list. You can slightly alter this article if you need
to, editing what you need to edit.

STEP 3: Post your amended article (with your name at #5) to at least 200
newsgroups (I think there are close to 18,000 of them). All you need is
say, at least 200. HOW TO DO THIS: If you have Netscape 3.0 do EXACTLY
the following:

1)     Click an 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 to insert your name at #5, and
to 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 ABOUVE SEND, 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: ar A: drive. DO NOT SEND OR POST YOUR ARTICLE UNTIL

YOU DO THIS. Once saved, move on to number 5 below.

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, and then
click on ATTACHMENTS, which is below the SUBJECT BOX. You will get
another box to come up. Click an ATTACH FILE, then find YOUR file that
you saved; click once on the file, and then click OPEN' now click on OK;
if you did this right, you should see your file name in the attachments
box, and it will be shaded green.

IF YOU USE IE 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 FOR YOUR RECORDS TO HAVE THE NAMES OF THOSE YOU WILL BE SENDING
US$1 BILLS TO. NEXT GO TO THE NEWSGROUPS AND PRESS "POST AN ARTICLE". A
WINDOW WILL OPEN. (IN EXPLORER 3.0: GO TO "NEWS" ON THE TOOLBAR, THEN
CLICK ON "NEW MESSAGE TO NEWSGROUP"). NEXT, TYPE IN YOUR HEADLINE IN THE
SUBJECT AREA AND THEN CLICK IN THE WINDOW BELOW. PRESS "CTRL" AND THEN
"V" AND THE ARTICLE WILL BE PLACED (COPIED) IN THE WINDOW. IF YOU WANT
TO EDIT THE ARTICLE, DO SO AND THEN HIGHLIGHT AND COPY IT AGAIN. NOW
EVERYTIME YOU POST THE ARTICLE IN A NEW NEWSGROUP ALL YOU HAVE TO REPEAT
"CTRL" AND "V" AND PRESS POST.

7)     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,
you see? Now you just have 199 to go !! (Don't worry, each one takes
about 30 seconds, once you get used to it) REMEMBER 200 IS THE MINIMUM.
The more you post the more money you will make.

AND THAT'S IT !!! THAT'S THE ONLY 3 STEPS THERE IS !!!
You are now in the mail order business and will start recieving your $1
envelopes from various people all over the world within days. HINT THE
MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST TO, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE.

or "investor". Just make sure all the addresses are CORRECT, please.

       LET ME TELL YOU WHY THIS SYSTEM WORKS !!!

Out of every 200 postings, let's say I ONLY recieve 5 replies, which is
actually VERY LOW. So I made 5 dollars with my name at #5. Now then,
each person who just send me $1 makes, say only 200 postings, now with
your name at #4, WHICH IS A TOTAL OF 1000 POSTINGS, not including yours
too. 50 people send you $1 now; thats $50 you just made! Now, then your
new 50 agents post 200 each with YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 3, OR 10,000
POSTING (50x200). Average return is 500 at $1 each is $500. They make
200 postings, which is 5,000 returns at $1 each, which is $5,000
dollars! And finally, 5000 people make 200 postings wach with YOUR NAME
AT NUMBER 1. YOU NOW GET A RETURN OF $50,000 BEFORE YOUR NAME DROPS OFF
THE LIST. AND THAT'S IF EVERYONE MAKES 200 POSTINGS ONLY, AND IF ONLY 5
PERSONS RESPOND!!!

When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest
posting that is appearing in the newsgroups, and SEND OUT ANOTHER $5 TO
THE NAMES ON THE LIST, PUTTING YOUR NAME AT #5 AGAIN. And start posting
again. The thing to remember is, do you realize that THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE
ALL OVER THE WORLD ARE JOINING THE INTERNET AND READING THESE ARTICLES
EVERY DAY< JUST LIKE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW!!!

So can you afford $5 dollars and see if it really works? I yhink 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 newsgroups
to make sure everyone is playing fairly. REMEMBER, HONESTY IS THE BEST
POLICY. YOU DON'T NEED TO CHEAT THE BASIC IDEA TO MAKE 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 decieve people by posting the
messages with your name on the list and not sending the money to the
people already on the list, you will not get much. Someone I talked to
knew someone who did that and he only made $150 dollars, and that's
AFFTER 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!!!

DO YOU WANT TO MAKE MONEY FAST??? 

Here's what one man says:

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
couldmake thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial
investment of $5.00! So 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.
Anyway, is said that you send $1.00 to each of the 5 names and addresses
stated in the article. You then place your own name and address at the
bottom of the list at #5, and post the article to at least 200
newsgroups.(There are about 22,000.) No catch, that was it.

So after thinking it over, I spoke to my attorney, a few friends, and
family about it and they all agreed it was some kind of scam. After
rejecting the idea at first, it kind of played on my mind and I
thought, "What if it really worked??". I figured what have I got to lose
except 5 stamps and $5.00, right? And I decided to give it a shot.

Then I invested the measly $5.00........

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 continued coming in. In my first
week, I made about $20.00 to $30.00 dollars. By the end of the second
week I had a mad total of $1,000.00!!!!!! In the third week I had over
$10,000.00 and it was still growing. This is now my fourth week and I
have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in.....

It certainly worth $5.00 and 5 stamps, I spent a lot 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 when you need it. The process is very
simple and consists of 3 easy steps: 

STEP 1: 
Get 5 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each
piece of paper "PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING LIST.  $1US DOLLAR
PROCESSING FEE IN ENCLOSED." (This makes it legal since you are paying
for a service). 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 theft/robbery. Then, 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 $1.00 bill. DO
THIS STEP FIRST, AS THESE MESSAGES ARE BEING MONITORED.

Mail the 5 envelopes by standard mail to the following addresses:  
        
 
1. Kevin Edwards
   Box 1874
   Post Office
   Coffs Harbour N.S.W.  2450  Australia

2. CA
   P.O. Box 550885
   Jacksonville, FL, 32255 
   USA

3.RN
   Rua Sergipe, 275
   Niter�i - Canoas, CEP 92130-270
   Brazil

4.KK
   Blk 512, Jelapang Road
   #07-34 Singapore 670512 Singapore

5. Bronto
   Jl Dewi Sartika 317
   CAWANG
   Jakarta-Timur
   INDONESIA
	
 
STEP 2: 
Now take the 1st name off the above list, move the other names
up(so #5 becomes #4, #4 becomes #3, and so on..) and add YOUR name and
address as #5 on the list.(If you want to remain anonymous, put a
nickname, but the address MUST be correct. It, of course, MUST contain
your country, state/district/area, zip code, etc, because there are
some people who don't put their COUNTRY!!! You wouldn't want your money
to fly away, wouldn't you?!?!).

STEP 3: 
Now post your amended article to AT LEAST 200 NEWSGROUPS.
Remember, 200 POSTINGS IS A MINIMUM. THE MORE YOU POST, THE MORE
MONEY YOU MAKE!!!!! SO TRY TO POST TO AS MANY GROUPS AS POSSIBLE. Try to
post to groups that get a lot of traffic as more people will view your
message. Don't know how to post? Don't worry, I'm explaining that in an
extra section at the end of the letter.

Now the Why part:

Out of 200 postings, let's say I receive only 5 replies(a very low
example). So then I make $5.00, with my name at #5 on the list. Now,
each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00, makes the MINIMUM 200
postings, each with my name at #4 and only 5 persons respond to each
of the original 5. So that's another $25.00 for me. Now, each one of
those 25 makes the MINIMUM 200 postings with my name at #3, and each one
gets only 5 replies. Now I make an additional $125.00! Now these 125
persons, turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my
name at #2 and only receive 5 replies each. Now I have an additional
$625.00!! OK, now here's the fun part, each of these 625 persons will
post the MINIMUM 200 postings with my name at #1 and they receive only 5
replies each. So, that just made me an additional $3,125.00!!! With an
initial investment of only $5.00! AMAZING! And as I said 5 responses
each is actually VERY LOW! The average is probable 20 to 30! So let's
put those figures at just 15 responses per person. here is what you will
make:

        at #5 $5.00 

        at #4 $225.00 (15 times $5.00)  

        at #3 $3,375.00 (15 times $225.00)

        at #2 $50,625.00 (15 times $3,375.00)

        at #1 $759,375.00 (15 times $50,625.00)   +
              ---------------------------------------
                $813,605.00


LEGAL ? ? ? (Comments from Bob Novak who started this new version.)

"People have asked me if this is really legal. Well, it is! You are
using the Internet to advertise you business. What is that business?
You are assembling a mailing list of people who are interested in home
based computer and online business and methods of generating income at
home. Remember, people send you a small fee to be added to your mailing
list. It is legal. what will you do with your list of thousands of
names? That's up to you."   

So, build your mailing list, keep good accounts, declare the income
and pay your taxes. By doing this you prove your business intentions.
Keep an eye on the newsgroups and when the cash has stopped coming(that
means your name is no longer on the list), you just take the latest
posting at the newsgroups, send another $5.00 to the names stated on the
list, make your corrections(put your name at #5) and start posting
again.

Some people have asked me "What happens if the scheme is played out
and noone sends money anymore?". Big deal, so you lose $5.00, BUT... do
you know the chances of that happening??? Since this is a brand new
program as of January 1st, 1997, you are on the ground floor! There are
millions of Internet users, and millions of new net surfers every month!
The Internet is growing in a tremendous rate - it doubles in size every
4 months!!! Think about it. All that growth means profits for everyone
who participates. There are no losers! Let's review why you should do
this. The only cost is $5.00, 5 stamps and 5 envelopes. Anyone can
afford this with such SPECTACULAR returns. There really is no risk - eat
cheaper lunches for a week and you've covered the $5.00. The biggest
risk is not to try.

Remember, play fairly and honestly and this will work. Make sure you
print this article now, also.(If you don't have a printer, copy it to
your Hard Drive.) Keep an eye on the newsgroups to make sure that
everyone is playing fairly. You know where your name should be.
Remember, honesty is the best policy. You don't need to cheat the
basic idea to make the money. By the way, if you don't send the $5.00 to
the stated names, you won't receive as much. Someone I talked to, knew
someone who did that and he only made about $150.00, and that's after 
7-8 weeks! Then he sent the 5 $1.00 bills, people added him to their
mailing lists, and he had the expected amount of money. This is the
fairest and the most honest way I've ever seen to share the wealth of
the world with costing nothing but our time!!! This is the easiest way
you can make money, and I mean good money! Think how excited will you be
to open your mailbox every day! So, GOOD LUCK to all of you and start
making your plans, because it can(and it will!) happen to you.

NOTES:

*1. In some countries, the export of the country's exchange is
illegal.But you can get the license to do this from the post office,
explaining the above statemenets(that you have an online business,
etc...). You
may have to pay an extra tax, but that's OK, the amount of the incoming
money is HUGE! And as I said, a few countries have that restriction.
*2. You may want to buy mailing and e-mail lists for future
dollars.(Or Database or Spreadsheet software.) 
*3. If you're really not sure or still think this can't be for real,
please print a copy of this article and pass it along to someone who
really needs the money, and see what happens.
*4. You will start getting responses within 1-2 weeks, it depends.

        HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS FAST WITH YOUR WEB BROWSER:


                The fastest way to post a newsletter:

Highlight and COPY(Ctrl-C) the text of this posted message and
PASTE(Ctrl-V) it into a plain text editor(as Wordpad) and save it.
After you have made the necessary changes that are stated above,
simply
COPY(Ctrl-C) and PASTE(Ctrl-V) the text into the message composition
window, after selecting a newsgroup, and post it! (Or you can attach
the
file, without writing nothing to the message window.)
------------------------------------------------------------------------


        If you have Netscape Navigator 3.0 do the following:

1. Click on any newsgroup like normal, then click on 'TO NEWS'. 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, something to catch the eye, as "$$$ NEED CASH $$$?!!
READ HERE!$!$!$" or "$$$!!!MAKE FAST CASH, YOU CAN'T LOSE!!!$$$". Or
you
can use my subject title.
3. Now click on 'ATTACHMENTS'. Then click on 'ATTACH FILE'. Find your
file on your Hard Disk(the one you saved from the text editor). Once
you
find it, click on it and then click 'OPEN' and 'OK'. You sould now see
your file name in the attachments box.
4. Now click on 'SEND'/'POST'. You see? Now you just have 199 to
go!!!(Don't worry, it's easy and quick once you get used to it.)

NOTE: All the versions of Netscape Navigator's are similar to each
other, so you'll have no problem to do this if you don't have Netscape
Navigator 3.0.


------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                !QUICK TIP!
             (For Netscape Navigator 3.x and above)

You can post this message to many newsgroups at a time, by simply
selecting a newsgroup near the top of the screen, hold down the SHIFT,
and then select a newsgroup near the bottom of the screen. All of the
newsgroups in/between will be selected. After that, you follow/do the
basic steps, stated below at this letter, except of step #1. You can
go
to the page stated below in this letter and click on a newsgroup to
open
up the newsgroups window. Once you've done this, in the same window go
to 'OPTIONS', and then mark 'SHOW ALL NEWSGROUPS' and 'SHOW ALL
MESSAGES'. Now you can see all the newsgroups and you can apply easier
the above tip.
------------------------------------------------------------------------


        If you have MS Internet Explorer do the following:

1. Go to the newsgroups and press 'POST AN ARTICLE'. To the new window
type your headline in the subject area and then click in the large
window below. There either PASTE your letter(which it's been copied
from
the text editor), or attach the file which contains it.
2. Then click on 'SEND' or 'OK'. 

NOTE: All versions of MS Internet Explorer are similar to each other,
so
you won't have any problem doing this. 


GENERAL NOTES ON POSTING: A nice page where you'll find all the
newsgroups if you want help is http://www.liszt.com/ (When you go to
the
home page, click on the link 'Newsgroup Directory'). But I don't think
you'll have any problem posting because it's very easy once you've
found
the newsgroups. All these web browsers are similar. It doesn't matter
which one you have.(But it makes it very easy if you have Netscape
Navigator 3.0 or later. You may download it from the Internet if you
don't have it.) You just have to remember the basic steps, stated
below.

BASIC STEPS FOR POSTING: 
1. Find a newsgroup and you click on it.
2. You click on 'POST AN/NEW ARTICLE' or 'TO NEWS' or anything else
similar to these.
3. You type your flashy headline in the subject box.
4. Now, either you attach the file containing your amended letter, or
you PASTE the letter.(You have to COPY it from the text editor, of
course, from before.)
5. Finaly, you click on 'SEND' or 'POST' or 'OK', whatever is there.
