$$$$$$$$$$$$$ THIS ONE IS MUCH DIFFERENT THAN THE OTHERS $$$$$$$$$$$$$
                   LESS VOLUME AND A LOT MORE MONEY
**********************************************************************
         PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS IN IT'S ENTIRETY.
**********************************************************************

FIRST, I DON'T CLAIM TO HAVE MADE ANY MONEY AT THIS YET BUT IF YOU THINK
ABOUT IT, I BELIEVE IT WILL WORK.

SECOND, LETS MAKE SOME REAL CHANGES HERE FOR THE PERSON WHO LIKES TO
TAKE A LITTLE GAMBLE. AND LET ME SAY THIS.. WHY RED FLAG THE POST OFFICE
WITH DOLLAR BILLS. I AM GOING TO TAKE NAMES OFF ONE OF THE OTHER MAILING
LISTS, ONLY INSTEAD OF SENDING ONE DOLLAR I WILL SEND EACH AND EVERY ONE
A FIVE DOLLAR BILL. I DON'T EXPECT THE VOLUME THE OTHERS MAY ENJOY BUT 
IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT WE WON'T NEED THE VOLUME TO MAKE THIS SUCCESSFUL,
AND WHY RED FLAG ANYBODY. LESS IS BETTER!

THIRD, INSTEAD OF SENDING OUT ONLY 5 LIKE THE OTHER ONES ARE DOING I 
WANT THE LIST TO BE 6.

PLEASE DON'T CHEAT THIS PROGRAM. JUST MAKE THE NECESSARY NAME CHANGES BE
FAIR AND HONEST AND IT WILL WORK FOR YOU.

***********************************************************************
FOLLOW THESE STEPS CAREFULLY
***********************************************************************

1ST STEP
Print this letter out so you can use it for reference in the near 
future. Now you need to use your mouse and hold down the left mouse key
and drag and highlight the letter in its entirety. Now pull down the 
edit menu and hit copy. Next you need to pull up notepad (you can open
this using the file manager or msexplorer and it is located in the 
Windows directory. When you have notepad opened pull down the edit menu
and hit paste. Next pull down the file menu in notepad and save as 
Newsltr.txt. in a directory where you won't forget where it is at. Now
you have a copy of this letter you can use later to paste to the news
letters. 

You now have a printed letter that you can use to send off five dollars
to each of the 6 people listed. It is best at this time to edit your 
saved file newsltr.txt and move the top name off and the second goes to
the top and the third goes to the second and so on. You will now add 
your name at the bottom of the list. The next step is pull down the file
menu and hit the save as again and save it as the same name newsltr.txt.

IS IT LEGAL?

Who knows.....a lot of people on the net say it is but between you and
me I would be a little scepticle receiving 50,000 envelops in the mail..
..I don't like red flags. That is precisely why we need to slow the 
volume and that is achieved by sending five dollars instead of one 
dollar. Not everyone will be able to participate at a cost of $30.00 
plus postage. Hey I don't have a lot of money but I do take chances at
times and I am willing to take this chance. We are not talking a whole
lot of money here and you know what a good feeling it is to be able to
give. Remember this, you are creating a database for a home based 
business utilizing the internet. And that is exactly what I am doing,
I will be starting an internet home based business and I will use each
and every one of the addresses I get back to market my new business.

2nd Step

You need to use a word processor and type the words: Please add my name
and address to your mailing list. Now print out 6 of these and put them
aside. Now using your envelope software, or you can use long hand, enter
the 6 address on 6 envelopes from the printed copy you made of this 
letter. Next place a five dollar bill into each piece of paper and 
tryfold the 8 1/2 x 11. Then put the paper and money in the envelope
ready to mail the following day.

3rd Step:

NETSCAPE USERS:

Now that you have edited this letter and added your name at the bottom I
will tell you an easy way to submit the new letter in a number of news 
groups. Open the news groups and by right clicking your mouse button hit
the show all news groups. Now be careful where you enter your letter, I 
have found it works best utilizing groups around the 200 mark or less, 
not the 2,000, only because you are entered at the bottom and it can be 
hard to find. Now hit the To:News button at the upper left. Enter in the
subject line only, something like $$Bigger Money$$. Now open your 
notepad, open the file newsltr.txt and from the edit menu hit select all
. Now pull down the edit menu again and hit copy. Now minimize notepad.
In the area to type use your right mouse button and hit paste. Now hit
the send button and that is all you have to do.

You can post to four at a time by highlighting the first news group and 
holding down the shift key click on the 4th one down and then hit the 
To:News button and you can post to four at a time. Try to post to at 
least 250 news groups or more. Remember the more you post the more money
you will make.

MS-EXPLORER:

It's just as easy, holding down the left mouse button, highlight this 
entire article, then press the 'CTRL' key and 'C' Key at the same time
to copy this article. Then print the article for your records to have
the names of those you will be sending $5.00 to. NEXT go to the 
newsgroups and press 'POST AN ARTICLE' Type in your fancy subject  and
click the large window below. Press 'CTRL'and 'V' and the article will
appear in the message window. Now re-highlight the article and re-copy
it so you have the changes... then all you have to do for each newsgroup
is 'CTRL'  and 'V'. and press 'POST' It's That EASY!

YOU ONLY HAVE 249 LEFT TO GO BUT YOU WILL BE SUPRISED HOW FAST IT GOES
ONCE YOU GET USED TO IT. AND TRY TO STAGGER THE POSTS SO YOU WON'T BE
BLAMED FOR SPAMING. THERE ARE ABOUT 20,000 NEWS GROUPS AND ABOUT 40 
MILLION PEOPLE ON THE NET SO GOOD LUCK TO YOU, TAKE CARE AND GOD BLESS.  

************************************************************************
REMEMBER BE FAIR - SEND THE MONEY - $5.00 EACH - AND DON'T TINKER WITH
THE NAMES IN THE LIST BECAUSE IF YOU DO THIS PROGRAM WILL NOT WORK.
************************************************************************

A TIP THAT I LEARNED THE HARD WAY.....NETSCAPE USERS PULL DOWN THE 
OPTIONS MENU AND HIT MAIL AND NEWS PREFERENCES. NOW HIT IDENTY THEN
CHANGE YOUR NAME TO @LOOK$5.00ea THEN CHANGE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS TO 
SOMETHING BOGUS LIKE CAS...@HOTMAIL.COM OR WHAT EVER YOU WANT. NOW CHANGE
YOUR REPLY TO ADDRESS TO SOMETHING LIKE CAS...@USA.NET OR WHAT EVER YOU
WANT. IF YOU DO THIS YOU WON'T RECEIVE A TON OF GARBAGE MAIL LIKE I HAD
TO PUT UP WITH. PS DON'T FORGET TO PUT BACK YOUR REAL EMAIL ADDRESS
WHEN YOU FINISH POSTING YOUR MESSAGES.

*********************I DO WISH YOU THE BEST OF EVERYTHING***************
