Take five minutes to read this and it WILL change your life.
 
 I just read an article in an internet newsgroup describing how
 to make $50,000.00 in only one month from a $5.00 investment.
 
 Of course I thought this was rediculous ,or some type of pyramid.
 I talked it over with my family, an attorney, and my friends, and
 they all agreed it was some sort of scam.I hate scams because
 usually someone gets burned, and I didn't want it to be me!
 I blew it off for a few weeks then saw another one in a
 newsgroup I go to alot and thought, "Maybe this is legitimate!".
 Besides, whats $5.00 , I spend more than that in the morning on
 my way to work on coffee and cigs for the day.
 
 
 Well, two weeks later,I began recieving money 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 money.  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.  Here's how it works in 3 easy steps:
 
STEP 1.
 
Invest your $5 by writing your name and address on five seperate pieces
of paper along with the words, "PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING LIST." 
(In
this way, you're not just sending a dollar to someone;  you're paying
for
a legitimate service.)  Fold a $1 bill (Or a loonie), money order, or
bank
note inside each paper, and mail them by standard U. S. Mail to the 
following five addresses:
 
 1.   Olivier  Arcadipane
        237 rue Francois Andre
        7390 Quaregnon, Belgium
 
 2.    Marco Monet
        409 N.E. 107 St.
        Miami, Florida, USA 33161
 
 3.    Jason Cole
        40 Sunrise Cres. SE
        Calgary, Alberta, Canada

 4.      Christian Johannsen
         Hvidovre strandvej 121 C
         2650 Hvidovre
         Denmark

 5.      Ed DeSaulniers
         184 Greenwood Dr. Apt.12
         Fredericton, N.B., Canada
         E3A 3T6
         
*** PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE MORE THAN ONE OR IT WILL NOT WORK!! ***
 
STEP 2.

    Now remove the top name from the list, and move the
    other names up.This way, #5 becomes #4 and so on.
    Put your name in as the fifth one on the list.


STEP 3.

    Post the article to at least 200 newsgroups. There are at
    least 17000 newsgroups at any given moment in time.
    Try posting to as many newsgroups as you can.Remember
    the more groups you post to, the more people will see your
    article and send you cash!


STEP 4.

     You are now in business for yourself, and should start seeing
     returns within 7 to 14 days! Remember, the internet is new
     and huge. There is no way you can lose.
 
    Now here is how and why this system works:
 
    Out of every block of 200 posts I made, I got back 5 responses.
    Yes, thats right,only 5. You make $5.00 in cash, not checks or
     money orders, but real cash with your name at #5.
 
    Each additional person who sent you $1.00 now also makes 200
    additional postings with your name at #4, 1000 postings.On
    average then, 50 people will send you $1.00 with your name at
    #4,....$50.00 in your pocket!
 
    Now these 50 new people will make 200 postings each with your
    name at #3 or 10,000 postings. Average return, 500 people= $500.
    They make 200 postings each with your name at #2= 100,000
    postings=5000 returns at $1.00 each=$5,000.00 in cash!
 
    Finally, 5,000 people make 200 postings each with your name at
    #1 and you get a return of $50,000 before your name drops off
    the list.And that's only if everyone down the line makes only 200
    postings each! Your total income for this one cycle is $55,000.
 
    From time to time when you see your name is no longer on the list,
    you take the latest posting you can find and start all over again.

    So thats it. Pretty simple sounding stuff, huh? But believe me, it
    works. There are millions of people surfing the net every day, all
    day, all over the world. And 100,000 new people get on the net
    every day. You know that, you've seen the stories in the paper.
    So, my friend, read and follow the simple instructions and play
    fair. Thats the key, and thats all there is to it.Print this out
    right now so you can refer back to this article easily.Try to keep
    an eye on all the postings you made to make sure everyone is
    playing fairly. You know where your name should be.

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 it WORKS !  So I thought, all those new users
might
 make it work. And I decided to try it out, a few months ago.
Besides,
 whats $5.00, I spend more than that in the morning on my way to work
on
 coffee and cigs for the day. So I sent in my money and posted.
 Everyone was calling it a scam, but there are SO many new users from
 AOL, Netcom, etc. they will join in and make it 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.

    the list.And that's only if everyone down the line makes only 250
    postings each! Your total income for this one cycle is $55,000.
 
    From time to time when you see your name is no longer on the list,
    you take the latest posting you can find and start all over again.

    The end result depends on you. You must follow through
    and repost this article everywhere you can think of.
    The more  postings you  make, the more cash ends up in
    your mailbox. It's too easy and too cheap to pass up!!!

    So thats it. Pretty simple sounding stuff, huh? But believe me, it

    playing fairly. You know where your name should be.

    If you're really not sure or still think this can't be
    for real, then don't do it. But please print this article and pass

    it along to someone you know who really needs the bucks, and see
    what happens.


    REMEMBER....HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY.YOU DON'T
    NEED TO CHEAT THE BASIC IDEA TO MAKE THE BUCKS!
    GOOD LUCK TO ALL, AND PLEASE PLAY FAIR AND YOU WILL
    WIN AND MAKE SOME REAL INSTANT FREE CASH!

*** By the way, if you try to deceive people by posting the messages
with your name in the list and not sending the bucks to the people
already included, you will not get much. I know someone who did this
and only got about $150 (and that's after two months). Then he sent
the 5 bills, people added him to their lists, and in 4-5 weeks he had
over $10,000!

                TRY IT AND YOU'LL BE HAPPY!!!  :o) !!!!!!!!!!
