DO YOU WANT A LOT OF MONEY TOO??!!
 
 
 If YES, read on,
 
 This really works.
 
 This is the fairest, most honest way I have seen to share in the
 wealth of the world!
 
 Take five minutes to read this and it WILL change your life.
 If you want to know how to make thousands of dollars quickly,
 legally and with NO CATCH, then keep reading.
 
 The Internet has grown tremendously. It doubles in size every 4
 months. Think about it. You see those 'Make Money Fast' post more
 and more. That's because all those new users make it work, and given
 the number of positive posts and the lack of negative ones, I figure,
 Hey ! what the heck, it might just work" . Besides, what's $5.00 ?!
 I spend more than that in the morning on my way to work on coffee
 and cigarettes for the day. So I sent in my money and posted.
 
 Although there are many skeptics calling it a scam, THINK ABOUT IT!!
 There are SO many new users from AOL, MSN, Netcom ... that will join
 in and make it work for you.  
 It worked for Henry Toy of San Francisco.

 "Well, two weeks after posting and investing my $5.00, I began
 receiving money in the mail! I couldn't believe it! 
 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 received nearly $47,000.00. 
 It came from all over the world. 
 Every bit of it perfectly legal and on the up and up. 
 I've been able to pay off all my bills and still have 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. 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 separate
 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 to the following five addresses:
 
 1. Bill Mead
    141 Ford Ave. 
    Woodbury N.J. 08096
 
 2. Vanessa Scorcia
    341 South Hall
    Tufts University
    Medford, MA
 
 3. Raffaele Sborgi
     Via Albertinelli, 14
     50143 FIRENZE
     ITALY
 
 4. Angelo Maggi
     Via F.Botticini, 12
     50143 FIRENZE
    ITALY
 
5. Matthew C. Burnell	
 16169 104th Ave 
 Nunica MI, 49448
 USA

 STEP (2)
 Now remove the #1 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 news groups. There are at least
 20000 news groups at any give moment in time. 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, that's 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 = $500.
 
 They make 250 postings each with your name at #2 =100,000
 postings = 5000 returns at $1 each = $5000.00 in cash!
 
 Finally, 5,000 people make 250 postings each with your name at
 #1 and you get a return of $50,000 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
 about $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!!!
 
 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 this 
 opportunity along to someone you know who needs the money and see 
 what happens!
 
 GENERAL STEPS ON AUTOMATING THE PROCESS:
 
 Make any necessary changes to this article as explained in step
 (2) and when you're satisfied, save it as a .txt file and import
 it into the  body of your email or news reader program.  This way
 you only have to change the name of the news group or email address
 for each redistribution.
 
 Valuable tip: And very important for those not too familiar with
 email: By all means use a word processor to ensure the article is
 composed well, but to ensure people that first read it via their
 news reader program see it clearly laid out.  Re-format it with a
 simple text editor such as "notepad," or "WordPad" if you're using
 "Windows 95."  Providing the text is clearly visible and does not
 scroll into the right margin, it should be ok! Using this
 procedure essentially means the article will be correctly
 displayed when viewed through other people's news reader You can
 of course check this out for yourself before going on line, by
 viewing it in your own news reader program.
 
 Next, begin by locating the news groups you intend posting to,
 Netscape 3.0 or a similar news reader is terrific for this, because
 you can highlight dozens of news groups all at once, enabling you
 to distribute your article to 1000's of locations in less than an
 hour or two. Highlight all news groups you want to mail your letter
 to (which as you know is done by holding down CTRL while left
 clicking.)  This way you can select multiple news groups in one go,
 choose perhaps a dozen each time. You will then see all news groups
 you highlighted displayed in the news groups Field.
 
 Next: select/highlight your news groups then click "To News" place
 a sensible title in the "Subject" location, click on "Attachments"
 whereupon another box appears.  Locate the file you are going to
 distribute, click on the file and then click "Open" again click
 OK; provided you followed these instructions, you should see your
 file grayed out in the "Attachments" box.
 Hit send . . . and that's it.
 
 Repeat the process over and over again by selecting further
 news groups in multiples of 10's but try to be selective with the
 groups by posting to high volume locations, and don't choose a
 subject that appears too flashy, this will only put people off.
 This is an honest and legitimate way of making a reasonable amount
 of money, and making it on a regular basis. But only if your
 message is sincere and clearly understood by others will you
 succeed.
 
 PLEASE NOTE: This system is based on everyone being honest, but
 it's all too tempting not to bother mailing out envelopes with
 dollar bills inside.  The success for all participating is
 dependent upon this taking place and if carried out will mean a
 500 % increase on your article being redistributed!  The system
 won't work to yours or indeed other people's advantage if you
 don't follow the procedure. You can however, if you wish to
 remain anonymous use a pseudonym - but please ensure that your
 address is correct.

 AS A FINAL NOTE: Many business ideas for making money, no matter
 how well thought out and implemented, simply don't get off the
 ground.  And in most cases is due to advertising costs, but the
 exposure obtained through the Internet is quite honestly -- pretty
 awesome, so please study this article carefully taking all the
 time you want, because the moment you begin participating you will
 be on track for some serious financial rewards.
 
 By the very nature of the way the system works you may not see the
 benefits the first week.  BUT COMMENCING THE SECOND WEEK, YOUR
 INTAKE OF MAIL FROM AROUND THE WORLD WILL TRULY ASTONISH YOU!
 Please give this some serious thought, because this is one of the
 few money making methods that really does work.
 
 GOOD LUCK!!!
