MAKE $30,00 OR MORE!!!
Read this message slowly and carefully.
Print it out and save it-you'll want it later!
It tells you how to turn $5.00, 5 stamps, 5 envelopes, and 5 minutes,
into
$30,000, easily, and legaly.
On with the reading...
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$
Hundreds and Thousands of people have used the system I am fixing to
describe,
and have earned thousands of dollars in as little as one month! The
system
consists of 4 easy-to-follow steps and virtually no risk.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$
AND, SO, WITHOUT FURTHER ADO...
The System:
Read the following instructions completely. The system has been fine
tuned so
that only the very basics are included. Failing to follow all four steps
to the
letter significantly reduces your chances for success. Printing out a
copy of
this post is recommended, so that you may study it at you leisure. As
you read
on you'll see why following every step exactly is so important. You'll
also see
why honesty really does pay more!
By taking part in this system, you are now in the business of mail order
services. You don't need to worry about keeping inventory or even
leaving your
own home to operate your business. The service you will be performing is
"Mailing List Development". Money can come in 2 ways. First from people
who
will pay you to join your mailing list, and secondly, from Mailing List
Brokers
who will pay you to rent the names you have collected.
The system primarily covers the first means of raising money - the
subscribers.
After which, a quick hint will describe how to locate a broker to rent
your
mailing list to.
(STEP 1) Locate the list of ten names and addresses after these
instructions.
Address an envelope for each of the top five. You will only be mailing a
letter
to the names listed #1 through #5. In each of the 5 envelopes, enclosed
$1.00 (US) cash (no check or money orders, please), AND A PIECE OF PAPER
WITH
THE WORDS: "Please add my name and address to your mailing list.
Enclosed is
$1.00 for this service."
IMPORTANT: In order for Uncle Sam to deem this a legitimate business
transaction, the above words are absolutely necessay. Do not change them
or
alter there order. Once enclosed in the proper envelopes, affix
sufficient
postage (one stamp for U.S. postage - check with post office for
international
rates) and mail.
(STEP 2) Remove the name and address of the person in position #1 on
the
list, then move each of the remaining names and addresses up by one
position
(old #2 becomes the new #1, old #3 becomes new #2, and so on...). Then
place
your name in position #10. This is the position of greatest
exposure!!!!!! More
on that after we explain the remaining steps.
**NOTE** The five letters will be addressed to the addresses #1 - #5 on
the list below, then proceed to remove the top name(#1) and
renumber the rest (#2-#10 becomes #1-#9)followed by your
address
as #10. this is very important!
(STEP 3) Post the new letter in NO FEWER THAN 10 seperate bulletin
boards or
newsgroups. Title the message appropriately (example:MAKE $50,000 FAST
or EARN
EXTRA $$$). Include every word you have received in this message and
make sure
you have reproduced everyone's name and address exactly as you received
it.
Also be sure there are no errors in your address. Soon I'll explain the
reason
for posting at least 10 times or more...
(STEP 4) Here's the hard part: wait for the mail to start rolling in
bringing
a flood of cash with it! It should take 30-60 days to reach the $50,00
level.
More is possible by posting the letter in more than 10 places. Some
ambitious
folks have actually posted several hundred times, receiving hundreds of
thousands of dollars in response.
Here's the list of names and addresses:

IMPORTANT: As mentioned above, maintaining the legitimacy of this system
is
what makes it work. Once you receive money from a person for the service
of
adding his or her name to your mailing list, you are legally obligated
to do
so. Therefore, it is a very good idea to keep a record on disk of your
ever-expanding mailing list, and another hard-copy as proof of the
service you
are providing. Refer to Title 18, Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the U.S. Postal
Lottery
laws if you have questions.
If you are interested in renting out your mailing list, obtain a
telephone book
for one of the largest U.S. cities (New York City, Los Angeles, etc...)
and
check out the Yellow Pages for MAILING LIST BROKERS. The list are worth
more as
they get larger.
Let me now explain how this works:
By placing the post in at least 10 bb's or newsgroups, you are exposing
you
letter to a broad enough base of people to ensure that it will be
accepted by a
few and passed along. Each time your name moves up by one position, the
number
of letters with your name in th list multiplies geometrically.
For Example, using easy to follow numbers:
Mr. A placed a post on 10 boards, with his name in position #10. Each
board
has 15 members who saw the post. So far, 150 people have seen the post.
Let's
use a low number for the example. Two percent (2%) of 150 is 3. So, 3
people
sent $1.00 to the top five names, the removed the name in position #1
and moved
each name up (including Mr. A's) by one. Mr. A is now in position #9.
Each of
the three people now do what Mr. A did - post 10 times to boards, each
with 15
members who saw the post. Now suddenly 450 people are reading the
letter, 2% of
which respond for a total of 9 people who send in $1.00 and move Mr. A's
name
up.
To summarize, following the same formula (10 posts/person responding, 15
members viewing each post, 2% of which respond..), when Mr. A. is in
position
#8, there are 27 people who respond and move him up. When Mr. A. is in
position
#7, there are 81 people who respond. When Mr. A. is in position #6, 243
people
respond. By the time Mr. A. moves into position #5, where He will begin
receiving cash in the mail from people who respond, 729 people send Mr.
A. (and
the other 4 top names) one dollar each. Position #4-2,187 respond by
sending
one dollar to the top names. Position #3-6,561 respond and send $1.00.
Position
#2-19,683 people. Position #1-59,049.
By the time Mr. A. has moved off the top of list, he has received
$88,208!!!
And that is assuming only 2 people out of every one hundred that saw the
post
actually responded.
Of course this is only a theoretical model to illustrate what we mean by
multiplying geometrically. In real situations, 2% responses are
certainly
possible, but not every BBS or Newsgroup will have 15 active members. Or
maybe
the post expires and is deleted before 15 people get to read it...Any
number of
things can happen to keep the message from reaching enough people, which
is
exactly why it is a good idea to blanket as many postings in as many
places as
possible. SPREAD THE WORD FAR AND WIDE!! After all, you reap what you
sow...
I must admit, I have removed the testimonials which were attached when I
received the letter. There must have been 3 pages of nothing but praise
for the
system. It was getting WAY too long... Anyway, if you want to hear if
it's
worth trying from a previous member, use directory assistance to find
the phone
number of someone in the top five positions and call them up and ask
them!
Good Luck!! May all your dreams become reality!!!
