WANT TO MAKE $$ MONEY $$ WITH NO HASSLES

READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE! IT DOES WORK!

A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you 
arenow, and came across an article similar to this that said you could
make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment
of $6.00! So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam", but like 
most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you
send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and addresses stated in this article.
You then place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at
#6. Post the article (with your name in the #6 spot) in at least 200
newsgroups. (There are thousands).
No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few
people first, I thought about trying it. I figured: "what have I got to 
lose except 6 stamps and #6.00, right?" Then I invested the measly 
$6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!? Within 7 days, I started getting money in the 
mail! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money just
kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of
the second week I had made a total of over $1,00.00! In the third week
I had over $10,00.00! and it's still growing. This is my fourth week
and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming
in rapidly.
It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more than that
on lunch!! Let me tell you how this works and most impotantly, WHY it
works... Also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you
can get the information of it as you need it. I promise you that if
you follow the directions exactly, that you will be making more money
than you thought possible by doing something so easy!

Suggestion: READ THIS ENTIRE MESSAGE CAREFULLY!!

Print it or download it. Follow the simple directions and watch the 
money come in! It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only
$6.00 (Plus Postage).

IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not illegal
and, it's 99% risk-free. Best of all- it really works! If all of the
following instructions are adhered to, you will recieve extraordinary
dividends.

PLEASE NOTE: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,00.00 or
more can be yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful
because of the honesty and integrity of the participants. PLEASE 
CONTINUE IN ITS SUCCESS BY CAREFULLY ADHEREING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS. You
will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business your 
product is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in the
 business of develoing Mailing lists. Many large corporations are happy
to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made from the 
mailing lists is secondary to the income which is made from people
like you and me asking to be included in that list. Here are the 4 
easy steps to success:

STEP 1: Get 6 seperate pieces of paper and write the following on the 
top of each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST" Then 
put your name and address underneath that. Now get 6 US $1.00 bills and
place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill will not be
seen  through the envelope (to prevent thievery). Next, place one paper
in each of the envelopes and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed
envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase, your
name and address, and a $1.00 bill.
What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL!
You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it! Like
most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the 
legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office
(1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal. Mail the
6 envelopes to the following addresses:

#1)B.A. Lanier
P.O. Box 124
Miami,Tx. 79059

#2)Gary Hoyt
6 Florence St. 2E
Baldwin, NY 11510

#3)Chris Whitesock
204 W. Volant St.
Hubert, NC 28539

#4)Phil Koch
454 West Tamar Road Riverside
Lauceston 7250
Tasmania, Australia

#5)Michael Park
P.O. Box 22090
45 Overlea Blvd.
Toronto, Ontario
M4H 1N9

#6)Miles Redding
991 Schroeder Rd.
Powhatan, VA 23139

STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the
other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add your name
as #6 on the list.

STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as
close to the original as possible. Now, post your amended article to
at least 200 newsgroups. (I think there are close to 24,000 groups)
all you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money
you make! (You won't get very much unless you post like crazy.) This
is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18 Sec.
1302 & 1341 of the Postal Lottery laws. Keep a copy of these steps for
yourself and, whenever you need money, you can use it again, and again.
PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the
honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully
adhering to the directions. Look at it this way: if you are of 
integrity and honesty, the program will continue and the money that so
many others have recieved will come your way. NOTE: You may want to 
retain every address and name sent to you, either on a computer or hard
copy and keep the notes people send you. This VERIFIES that you are 
truly providing a service. (Also, it might be a good idea to wrap the
$1.00 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of theft.) So, as each
post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed, six members
will be reimbursed for their participation as a list developer with
$1.00 each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so that when
your name reaches the #1 position you will be recieving thousands of
dollars in CASH!!! What an opportunity for only $6.00- $1.00 for each
of the first 6 people listed above. Send it now, add your name to the
list and your in business!

-DIRECTIONS--FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS--
Step1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own
posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and
drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy'
from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the computers
memory.
Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top 
of the blank page From the edit menu select 'paste'. This will paste
a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the
list.
Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do
your postings in different settings, you'll always have this file to
go back to.
Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet Explorer and try searching for various
newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.)
Step 5) Visit these messge boards and post this article as a new 
message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste
from the edit menu. Fill in the subject, this will be the header that
everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a 
particular group, click the post message button. You're done with your
first one! Congratulations!!! THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump
to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of it, it
will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup!

**REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL 
MAKE! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200**

That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the world within
days! You may eventually want to rent a P.O. Box due to the large
amount of mail you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous you can
invent a name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it.

**JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT**

Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the minimum 
postings of 200, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond
to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25
each make 200 minimum posts with my name at #4 and only 5 reply, I will
bring in an additional $125.00! Now those 125 persons turn around and
post the minimum 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies
each, I will make an additional $625.00! OK, now here's the fun part,
each of those 625 persons post a minimum 200 letters with my name at #2
and they each only recieve 5 replies, that just made me $3125.00!!
Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups 
with my name at #1 and if still only 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react
I will recieve $15,625.00! With an original investment of only $6.00!
AMAZING!!
When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest 
postingin the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the
list, putting your name at #6 again. And start posting again. The thing
to remember is: do you realize that thousands of people all over the 
world are joining the internet and reading these articles everyday?,
JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So, can you afford $6.00 and 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, every day,
with thousands of those joining the actual internet. Remember, play
FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really work.

WHAT GOES AROUND, COMES AROUND!!! GOD BLESS!

GOOD LUCK
