GREETINGS !!
TAKE 5 MINUTES TO READ THIS
This is the newest updated version.
As I was surfing the net, I read all these postings on how you can make
over $50,000 even $800,000. 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 too can make over $800,000 perfectly legal
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, then I suggest you don't try it.
PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A SIX(6) PERSON LIST, NOT THE USUAL 5. AND
DON'T TRY TO CHEAT THIS PROGRAM. JUST ADD ONE NAME AND REPOST THE
ARTICLE.
IF YOU DO NOT RE-POST, 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 $50,000 to $100,000. 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.
Print this atricle now, so you have all the information for your
version.
Remember to keep the names right. Lets Go !!
Step 1
Invest your $6 by writing your name and address on six separate pieces
of paper along with the words:
"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 the 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 a you a small fee to be added to your list. It is
legal. What will you do with your list of thoudsands of names? That's up
to you, but this how it becomes legal. To be legal you actually sell a
product or a 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 six persons
listed below. This letter and the plan given within this letter are a
"product" that you have received. Thus, you will be receiving this
letter and 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:
Immediately send $1 US cash (a 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 recomended)
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 hardcopy, 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 response and
much more money later!
Fold a $1 bill inside each paper, and mail them by standard mail to the
following six addresses:
1/ I. Bernades
Calle Canario 6
08190 - St Cugat V.
Spain
2/ A. Suess
P.O. Box 2276
Steinbach, MB, Canada
ROA 2AO
3/ CJ
734 S. 590 E.
Orem, UT 84058
4/ M. Layman
40 Blenhiem Dr.
Ottawa, ON, Canada
K1L 5B5
5/ A.R.
4615 N. Braeswood
#304
Houston, Texas 77096
6/ Gary Morse
P.O. Box 170484
Arlington, Texas 76003-0484
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 a
dollar 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 people 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 759,375 people send you
a $1 each. $759,375.00
TOTAL $813,615.00 !! If those figures sound incrediabley high, figure
that even with half the return rate, or even a quarter, the total is
still spectacular. It works everytime, 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 intially; try for 300-350.
When you 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. 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 real estate full time. I assure you this can work. If you mailed out
500 letters, you could have received 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 to their mailing list.
Together we will be able to prosper and share our wealth with those less
fortunate than ourselves.
GOOD LUCK !!!
_____________GENARAL STEPS IN 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 SEND, NOT WHERE IT SAYS NETSCAPE NEWS ON THE FIRSTBOX.
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 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 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 in a 'FLASHY' subject title in 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
should be shaded green.
NOTE: If you don't want to type in the whole article and you know how to
use a plain paper 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 the article. Then press the "ctrl" key and the
"c" key at the same time to copy this article. Then print this article
for your record, to have a names of those you will be sending $1 bills
to.
2) Go to the newsgroups 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 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.)
REMEBER 250 IS THE MINIMUM. But the more you post the more money you
will receive.
AND THATS 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 file name in the "save as" dialog box, press 'enter'.
Now open "Notepad" (usually from "start" - "programs" - "accessories")
and open the message ("file - open") you have just saved. (You will
find it in the same folder you saved it and you may also find it has a
'htlm' 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(subscibe to) whichever groups you think are suitable by
moving down the entire listing and clicking in the appropriate empty
boxes. Once you have finished the click "options" - "show subscibed
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,
postion the cusor in the main main area.
Click an "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 that 10 with any one message since the
resulting long lines of newsgroup listing at the top of EVERY message
will annoy many AND vastly reduce the effectiveness of your posting.
JUST ONE OTHER THING:
Let's remeber 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 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"
TRY IT, THIS ONE WORKS ! ! !
