The procedure is simple:

1) Write your name, address, and country on 5 sheets of paper.  Below
that,
write the words, "Please add me to your mailing list."  You should use
thick
dark paper to discourage mail theft.  Fold a $1 bill in each piece of
paper
and mail them to the following 5 addresses:
 
 
 1. M. Bennett
    4831  168th St.SW #G103
    Lynwood, WA 98037

 2. T. Nestripke
    4370 Inverary Dr.#11
    Salt Lake City, UT 84124

 3. P. Hofmann
    894 E. Fillmore Ave..
    East Aurora, NY 14052

 4. S.L. Dove
    1655 Witte Rd. #27
    Houston, TX 77080
    
 5. R. L. - Secretary
    1321 Jameson
    Ithaca, NY 14853

2) Now remove the top name from the list, and move the other four
names up. In other words, #5 becomes #4 and so on. Put your name as
the fifth one on the list. You can do this by simply retyping the
article or reposting it to other newsgroups with the edited addresses.

3) Post the article to at least 200 newsgroups. There are 19,000, so
it shouldn't be hard to find that many.

You are now in the mail order investment business, and should start
seeing returns within a week or two. Of course, the more newsgroups
you post to, the greater your return will be. If you wish to remain
anonymous, you may use a psuedonym, but make sure your address is
correct.

$$$$ $50,000 for the New Year $$$$

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. 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 bucks. 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 inside each paper, and mail
them by standard U. S. Mail to the following five addresses:
 =

 1-Aaron McDaniel
     2014 Powell Dr.
     ElCajon, Ca 92020 =


 2-Faroon Khan
     12343 77A Avenue
     Surrey, BC V3W2W9

 3-Hoffman Eric
     3150 Riviere-Cachee
     Boisbriand, PQ
     Canada
     J7H 1A3

 4-Stuart Koch  =

     Connolly Hall Box C115
     501 E. St. Joseph
     Rapid City, SD 57701-3995

 5-Diogo Vernissi
     Rua Rio Bonito, 70
     Cond. S=E3o Joaquim
     Vinhedo - SP - Brazil
     CEP: 13280-000

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 250 newsgroups. There are at
    least 19000 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 250 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 250
    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 250 postings each with your
    name at #3 or 10,000 postings. Average return, 500 people=3D $500.
    They make 250 postings each with your name at #2=3D 100,000
    postings=3D5000 returns at $1.00 each=3D$5,000.00 in cash!
 =

    Finally, 5,000 people make 250 postings each with your name at
    #1 and you get a return of $60,000 before your name drops off
    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
    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.

    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) !!!!!!!!
