TAKE FIVE MINUTES TO READ THIS AND IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE.  
************************************************************************
* 
 
	The Internet has grown tremendously. It DOUBLES in size every 
4 months.  Think about it!  You see those 'Make.Money.Fast' posts more 
and more. 
That's  because they WORK!   I sent in my money and posted. Everyone  
was calling it a scam, but it can work for you.  
 
	Well, two weeks later, I began recieving bucks in the mail! I  
couldn't believe it! Not just a little, I mean big bucks! At first 
only a few hundred dollars, then a week later, a couple of thousand, 
then BOOM. By the end of the fourth week, I had recieved nearly 
$47,000.00. 
 
 
	It came from all over the world. And every bit of it perfectly 
legal and on the up and up. I've been able to pay off all my bills and 
still had enough left over for a nice vacation for me and my family.  
 
	Not only does it work for me, it works for other folks as 
well.  Markus Valppu says he made $57,883 in four weeks. Dave Manning 
claims he made $53,664 in the same amount of time. Dan Shepstone says 
it was only $17,000 for him. Do I know these folks? No, but when I 
read how they say they did it, it made sense to me.  
    
	Enough sense that I'm taking a similar chance with $5 of my 
own.   Not a big chance, I admit--but one with incredible potential, 
because $5 is all anyone ever invests in this system. Period. That's 
all Markus, Dave, or Dan invested, yet their $5 netted them tens of 
thousands of dollars each, in a safe, legal, completely legitimate 
way.  
 
	Do you want a lot of money too? 
   
	If so, read on. 
 
	This really works. 
 
Let's start. 
 
This opportunity really works. It works because of basic mathematical 
and statistical principles. This process is somewhat similar to a 
pyramid process, only broader. Further, it is far more profitable for 
all involved. Read on. Find out how this works. 
************************************************************** 
 
Article adapted from S. Pypke: 
 
	"As you most probably have seen, the latest opportunity to 
make lots of money is sweeping the internet. If you want to partake in 
a perfectly legal opportunity to make up $50,000 in 4-6 weeks read on. 
 
	Skeptics keep reading. Keep an open mind. You're intelligent 
if you're skeptical. This process works because of the formula. The 
formula will make this pay. 
	This article will explain how to go about getting involved. If 
you already know and just want to use the addresses please do. Those 
of you who are new and have a mere $5.00 to invest read this entire 
article carefully.  
	 I am just an average person who enjoys the internet, and 
making money. For months now I have been bombarded with this quick 
money making opportunity and have always passed it off as being a 
scam. Now I find that I really could use the money and it will be fun 
too. So I said to myself even if it is a scam all I lost was $5.00, 5 
envelopes and postage. I can cover that, and if it works, my life 
we'll all be a lot better off. So lets begin...  
******************************************************************** 
 
 
FIRST, 
 
Print this article now so you can refer to it as needed. What you need 
to do is send $1 to each of the five addresses listed below. Get five  
pieces of paper and on each one write: PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING  
LIST, YOU ARE NUMBER X (Their number in this article). Place $1 in 
each of those letters so that they cannot be seen if the letter is 
held up to the light. Mail each letter with this comment and the $1 to 
the following five people:  
 
1. T. Brooks, P.O. Box 5084, Asheville,NC 28813 USA 
 
2. Citiview, 42-15 Crescent Street, LIC, NY 11101 USA 
 
3. M.Scott 1950 Andrews Ave. #6B5 Bronx, NY 10453 
 
4. W. J. Bremner 826 Halvorsen Dr.  West Chester, PA 19382 USA 
 
5. S. Newman, 210 Beverley St. Apt.401, Toronto, ON, Canada M5T 1Z3 
 
You then place YOUR NAME at the #5 slot and move everybody up one (ie  
#5 becomes #4, #4 becomes #3 and so on. The #1 that is listed in this  
article will be removed completely because they have already been  
through the cycle).  
 
 
 SECOND,  
 
 Now post the article to 200 newsgroups minimum (instructions will  
follow on how to post). That is all folks. No kidding!! Now within  
7 days you should start getting money in the mail.  
It is shocking!  My first week I made $28. By the end of the second 
week I had over $1,000!! The third week resulted in over $10,000! And  
now after four weeks I have made nearly $42,000!!! I am laughing as I  
write this because I still can't believe this.  
 
HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS: Out of every 200 postings, lets say I only  
receive 5 replies (which is very low). So that means I made $5 when my 
name was #5. Hey, I broke even. Now say each of those 5 people post to 
200 newsgroups, now with your name at #4, which is a total of 1,000  
postings, excluding your 200. At the same rate 50 people now send you 
$1.  Another free $50!! These 50 people each post to 200 groups with 
your name at #3, thats 10,000 postings! Average return is 500 at $1 
each = $500 for you. Those people make 200 postings each which leads 
to $5,000.  And finally 5000 people make 200 postings with YOUR NAME  
 
AT # 1. THAT'S  A POTENTIAL RETURN OF $50,000!!!! NOW YOUR NAME DROPS 
OFF THE LIST.  
 
 
THIS IS THE RESULT: 
 IF ONLY 5 PEOPLE RESPOND TO EACH 200 POSTINGS. IF EVERYONE POSTED 
TO MORE THAN 200 WHO KNOWS WHAT THE POTENTIAL RETURN COULD BE.  
 
So have fun, be honest. Remember, even if you get nothing, you only 
lost $5. And as the old saying goes..."You can't win if you don't 
play"  
 
While I still have your attention let me explain how to post to at 
least 200 newsgroups.  Mind you it will only work if you follow the 
instructions exactly. If you put you name on the list without sending 
out the money, you will not see significant results. By sending the 
money you are distributing your name to those already in the cycle who 
then may choose your name when they start a new cycle with 5 new 
random names. If you are honest you will be rewarded. Thats a promise! 
 
 
INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO POST USING NETSCAPE 3.0  
 
   1. Click on any newsgroup like you usually would, then click on  
"TO:NEWS" in upper right hand corner. This will bring up a message box 
to type this article in.  
 
   2. Leave the message box like it is, don't maximize it. In Subject 
box type something flashy like "$$$CASH READ HERE$$$".  
 
   3. Tab once and you are ready to type in the body of the box. 
Retype this article but with your name inserted in slot #5 and the 
others moved up as I directed. Remember the #1 in this article will be 
removed in yours.  
 
   S. Pypke tells people to retype the article. This may not be 
necessary. Try this: highlight the article with a mouse (or click edit 
and click select all). Then, click edit, click copy. Then, go to 
notepad, or Word, or WordPad, or Wordperfect. Click paste.  
Save it from there. 
 
To post, highlight from notepad. Click copy. Go to the 
mail section to post, click paste. Go on from there. This will make it 
easier. 
 
   4. When you are done retyping this whole article with the proper  
changes, click on FILE in this message box (it is right above SEND).  
Click on SAVE AS under FILE (make sure your in the newsgroup message  
window, not where it says Netscape News) Save your file as a text file 
to your C: or A: drive. DO NOT SEND OR POST YOUR ARTICLE UNTIL YOU  
DO THIS!!! Once saved move to next step.  
 
   5. To post to at least 200 newsgroups do the following. You can 
post to more which will bring you more money but 200 is the bare 
minimum.  Go to a newsgroup you want to post in. Click on "TO NEWS". 
Write your subject just like you did when you retyped this article. 
Hit tab once. 
 
Now click ATTACHMENT. 
Another box comes up. Find your file where you saved it. Highlight the 
file and click "OPEN". Now click OK. If you did this right you should  
see the file name in the Attachments box in shaded letters.  
 
   6. NOW JUST CLICK SEND. Do this to at least 200 newsgroups (there  
are over 18,000) Each time it takes no more than 30 seconds so once  
you have retyped the article its easy.  
 
INSRTRUCTIONS FOR EXPLORER  
 
   1. Holding down the left mouse button, highlight this article. Then 
press "CRTL" key and "C" at same time to copy this article.  
 
   2. Print this article for reference.

window below.  
 
   4. Press "CRTL" and "V" and the article will be placed in the
