If you are a person who wants to make a difference but you lack the
resources, you should read this message carefully and seriously take
part in this activity because that can make it possible for you to  do
some great things.

If you need money for a faciltiy to do good in your community, or to
start a theatre company, or make a film, or anything that you want to
do, you can get the money you need if you follow the instructions.

For everyone with honest intentions!This really works! 


I've posted and e-mailed this letter in the past. The results i've
recieved were ASTOUNDING. All that is required is a $5 investment.

To think that I sacrificed 5 dollars, and now i am making enough money
to fund my artists organization, to make films, do art exhibitions,
start a theatre company and host community festivals.

I can devote all my time to these efforts because I don't have to
worry about resources. If you follow the directions, it will work
wonders for you.

These are the contents of the original letter:

A mother was cleaning and putting laundry away when she came across 
a large brown paper bag that was suspiciously buried beneath some
clothes and a skateboard in the back of her 15-year-old son's closet.

Nothing could have prepared her for the shock she got when she opened
the bag and found it was full of cash. Five dollar bills, twenties,
fifties and hundreds - all neatly rubber-banded in labeled piles.

"My first thought was that he had robbed a bank", says the 41-year-old
woman, "There was over $71,000 dollars in that bag- that's more than
my husband earns in a year".

The woman immediately called her husband at the car-dealership where
he worked to tell him what she'd discovered. He came home right away
and they drove together to the boy's school and picked him up. Little
did they suspect that where the money came from was more shocking than
actually finding it in the closet.

As it turns out, the boy had been sending out via E-mail on the
Internet a type of 'chain-letter' to E-mail addresses that he obtained
off of the Internet. Everyday after school for the past 2 months, he
had been doing this right on his computer in his bedroom."

I just got the E-mail one day and I figured what the heck, I put my
name on it like the instructions said and I started sending it out",
says the clever 15-year-old.

The E-mail letter listed 3 addresses and contained instructions to
send one $5 dollar bill to the person at the top of the list, then
delete that address and move the other 2 addresses up, and finally to
add your name to the bottom of the list.

The letter goes on to state that you would receive several thousand
dollars in five dollar bills within 2 weeks if you sent out the letter
with your name at the bottom of the 3-address list

"I get junk E-mail all the time, and I really didn't think it was
gonna work", the boy continues.

Within the first few days of sending out the E-mail, the Post Office
Box that his parents had gotten him for his video-game magazine
subscriptions began to fill up with not magazines, but envelopes
containing $5 dollar bills.

"About a week later I rode [my bike] down to the post office and my
box had 1 magazine and about 300 envelopes stuffed in it. There was
also a yellow slip that said I had to go up to the [post office]
counter- I thought I was in trouble or something (laughs)".

He goes on, "I went up to the counter and they had a whole box of more
mail for me. I had to ride back home and empty out my backpack 'cause
I couldn't carry it all".Over the next few weeks, the boy continued
sending out the E-mail.

"The money just kept coming in and I just kept sorting it and stashing
it in the closet, I barely had time for my homework". He had also been
riding his bike to several of the area's banks and exchanging the $5
bills for twenties, fifties and hundreds.

"I didn't want the banks to get suspicious so I kept riding to
different banks with like five thousand at a time in my backpack. I
would usually tell the lady at the bank counter that my dad had sent
me in [to exchange the money] and he was outside waiting for me.

One time the lady gave me a really strange look and told me that she
wouldn't be able to do it for me and my dad would have to come in and
do it, but I just rode to the next bank down the street (laughs).

"Surprisingly, the boy didn't have any reason to be afraid. The
reporting news team examined and investigated the so-called
'chain-letter' the boy was sending out and found that it wasn't a
chain-letter at all.

In fact, it was completely legal according to US Postal and Lottery
Laws, Title 18, Section 1302 and 1341, or Title 18, Section 3005 in
the US code,

also in the code of federal regulations, Volume 16, Sections 255 and
436, which state a product or service must be exchanged for money
received.

Every five dollar bill that he received contained a little note that
read, "Please add me to your mailing list". This simple note made the
letter legal because he was exchanging a service (adding the
purchasers name to his mailing list) for a five dollar fee.

Here is the letter that the 15-year-old was sending out by E-mail, you
can do the exact same thing he was doing, simply by following the
instructions in this letter-

--------------------------------------------

There are 3 addresses listed below.Send the person at the top of the
list a $5 bill wrapped in 2 pieces of paper (to securely hide it),
along with a note that says: "Please add me to your mailing list".

Then delete that name, move the other 2 up and put your name at the
bottom.

Now start sending or posting this ENTIRE e-mail back out to people.
When 20 people receive it, those 20 people will move your name up to
the middle position and they will each send out 20.

That totals 400 people that will receive this letter with your name in
the middle.Then, those 400 people will move your name up to the top
and they will each send out 20 E-mails.

That totals 8,000 people that will receive this E-mail with your name
at the top and they will each send you a $5 bill.

8,000 people each sending you a $5 bill = $40,000 cash. That's if
everyone responds to this E-mail, but not everyone will, so you can
expect more realistically to receive about $10,000 cash $5 bills in
your mailbox.

This will work for anyone, anywhere in the world in any country, but
send only a US CASH $5 bill.The more E-mails or follow ups you post,
the more cash you will receive.

If each person sends out 100 E-mails, there will be 1,000,000 people
that receive this letter when your name reaches the top. If only 1% of
those people respond, you will still get $50,000 cash.

***REMEMBER, if you don't ask for the service, USE OF THIS LETTER WILL
BE ILLEGAL FOR YOU. Here is the list:
----------------------------------------------------------

#1) A.J. Burton
1005 Layl Dr. 
Liberty, TX 775753. 

#2) Greg Ross 
467 oak crest pl. 
Pittsburg, CA 94565.

#3) Halloween Show
700 Jackson Ave. Apt A
Charleston, IL 61920
 ---------------------------------------------------------- 

THERE'S NOTHING MORE TO DO. When your name reaches the top in a few
days, you will start receiving $5 bills from other people just like
yourself, who are willing to invest a $5 bill to receive $10,000 cash.

This system is absolutely perfect and completely defies the capitalist
system. As long as everybody bands together to do this with honest
intentions, this can lead to great opportunities for all of us.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained In the spirit of FUN, let's play....
