Hello$
> Would you like to make thousands of dollars, quickly, legally, with No

> Swear I'M NOT LYING TO YOU, AND THIS IS NOT A SCAM!  If you're
> interested in making some big bucks, keep reading; if you're not, I

> dollars in weeks, with only an initial investment of $5!  So, I thought,
> "yeah, right, must be a scam", but I was curious, like most of us, so I

> address in the article at the bottom of the list at #5, and post the
> article in at least 200 newsgroups (there ore thousands).  No catch,
> that was it!  So after thinking it over, talking to a few people first,
> I figured what have I got to lose except for 5 stamps and $5, right?
> This is from someone who has tried it and it worked like a charm.  I

> would end soon, and didn't give it another thought.  But then the money
> kept coming In.  Tripling in size and multiplying by 10-20 times the
> amount that I got the first week!  In my first week I make about 20 to
> 30 dollars.  But by the end of the second week, I had made a total of
> over $1,000!!!  In the third week, I had over $10,000 dollars, and it's
> still growing!   This is my fourth week and I've made about $42,000
> Total, and believe it or not the money is still coming in�
> 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 get the
> information from 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 $1 bills, and place ONE inside each piece of paper that
> you have just written on, and fold each piece of paper so the bill will
> not be seen in the envelope 9otherwise, 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 having a piece of paper AND the $1 bill inside.
> NOTE:  Make sure those words that were stated above are written on each
> piece of paper.  What you are doing is creating a service by this.  This
> is PERFECTLY LEGAL.   Now, mail the 5 envelopes with the paper and $1 in
> each to the following 5 addresses:
> 
> 1.  John McRackin
>      P.O. Box 7548
>      College Station, TX 77844
> 
> 2.  Yoon Kim
>      6201 Vosswood Dr.
>      Nashville, TN  37205
> 
> 3.  Mark Jr.
>      30 McMellon RD.
>      Iola, TX  77861
> 
> 4.  T.  Smith
>      1107 SW Osborne ST.
>      Topeka, KS  66604
> 
> 5.  Jason Parsons
>      1866C University Ave.
>      Morgantown, WV  26505
> 
> STEP 2:  Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the
> other 4 names up (5 becoming 4, 4 becoming 3, etc.)  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
> news groups (there are around 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 on any news group 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 as it is , but CHANGE THE SUBJECT  box to
> something eye-catching, like, "NEED CASH$$$ READ HERE" or "FAST
> CASH!!!!"
>  3)Tab once and you should be ready to type or copy an paste the article
> from a text program.  Now, retype (only once) or copy and past (ctrl -c
> to copy +ctrl-v to paste each time)  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 above 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 on your C:  or A:  drive.  DO NOT SEND OR POST YOUR ARTICLE UNTIL
> YOU HAVE SAVED IT.  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 simply clicking SEND, which is right below FILE, and right above
> the Cc: button.
> 6) Here's where you're going to post all 200.  OK, click on any news
> group then click on "TO NEWS", again (in the top left hand corner of
> your netscape navigator.  Leave the newsgroups box alone again, put your
> eye-catching title in the SUBJECT BOX, hit TAB once you're in the body
> of the message, and then click on ATTACHMENT, which is below the Subject
> box.  You will get another box to come up.  Click on ATTACH FILE, then
> find YOUR FILE THAT YOU HAVE SAVED; click on this 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
> I.E. EXPLORER, IT'S JUST AS EASY:  Holding down the left mouse button,
> highlight this article.  Then press the "CTRL" key and "C" key at the
> same time, to copy this article.  Then print this article for your
> records to have the names of those you will be sending $1 bills to.
> Next, go to the news groups and press "POST AN ARTICLE".  A window will
> open.  Type in your headline in the subject area and click in the large
> window below.  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 new
> newsgroup all you have to repeat is "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!!!  You are now in the mail-order business and will start receiving
> your $1 envelopes from various people all over the world, within days!
> HINT:  THE MORE NEWGROUPS YOU POST TO, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE.
> You may want to rent a PO Box eventually, because of all the mail.  If
> you wish to stay anonymous, you can come up with a name, such as
> "manager" or  "investor".  Just make sure all the addresses that you
> have typed in for the 4 people plus yourself are correct, please.  LET
> ME TELL YOU WHY THIS SYSTEM WORKS!  Out of every 200 postings, let's say
> I ONLY receive 5 replies, which is actually VERY LOW.  So I made $5
> dollars with my name at #5.  Now, each person who just sent me one
> dollar makes, say 200 postings, now with my name at number 4, WHICH IS A
> TOTAL OF 1000 POSTINGS, not including yours too.  50 people send you $1
> now - that's $50 you have made!  Next, your new 50 agents each post 200
> newsgroups with your name at number 3, or 10,000 POSTINGS (50 X 200 =
> 10,000).  The average returns at $1 each, or $500 total.  They in turn
> make 200 postings, which is 5,000 People make 200 postings 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 ONLY MAKES 200 POSTINGS, AND
> IF ONLY 5 PEOPLE RESPOND!!!  When your name is no longer on the list,
> you simply take the latest posting that is appearing in the newsgroups
> and SEND OUT ANOTHER $5  and start posting again.  The thing to remember
> is, THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD ARE JOINING THE INTERNET AND
> READING THESE ARTICLES EVERYDAY - just like you are now!!!  So can your
> afford #4 to see if it really works?  I think 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 everyday with THOUSANDS of those actually
> joining the 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 idea to make money.  GOOD LUCK TO ALL, PLEASE
> PLAY FAIRLY, AND YOU WILL REAP THE HUGE REWARDS FROM THIS - TONS OF
> EXTRA CASH!!!   One last note:  if you try to deceive 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 in return.  Someone I
> talked to knew someone who did that and she only make $150, and that's
> after eight weeks!  Then she sent the 5 $1 bills, people added her to
> their lists, and in 4-5 weeks she have over $10,000!!!  THIS IS THE
> FAIREST AND MOST HONEST WAY I HAVE EVER SEEN TO SHARE THE WEALTH OF THE
> WORLD WITHOUT COSTING US ANYTHING BUT OUR TIME, $5 AND FIVE POSTAGE
> STAMPS!
