OF  YOUR  TIME

          !!! MAKE MONEY - Legal and Easy !!!  
            THIS IS THE FAIREST MOST HONEST
          WAY I KNOW OF TO SHARE THE WEALTH!!  

 Hello! Would you like to make thousands of dollars, quickly, 
 legally, with NO CATCH?   Then keep reading....
 
 Please take a few minutes to read this article, it will change 
 your life -- just like it did mine. It's true! You can make up 
 to or over $50,000 in just 4-6 weeks, maybe sooner! 

  ***I SWEAR I'M NOT LYING TO YOU, AND THIS IS NOT A SCAM!***

 If your interested, please, keep reading. If your not, Then I 
 apologize for wasting your time.

 A short while back, I was browsing these newsgroups, just like 
 you are now, and came across an article similar to this that 
 said you could make THOUSANDS of DOLLARS within weeks...
 ... with only ... an initial investment of $5! FIVE DOLLARS

 I thought, "Yeah, right, must be a scam", but I was curious, 
 like most of us, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that  you
 send $1 to each of the 5 names and addresses stated in the 
 article. You then place YOUR OWN NAME and ADDRESS on the bottom 
 of the list at #5, and post the article in  200 newsgroups.

 (THERE ARE THOUSANDS!)  No catch, that was it. So after thinking 
 it over, and talking to a few people first, I tried it. I figured
 what have I got to lose except for (5) 32 cent stamps and (5) one
 dollar bills.  TOTAL INVESTMENT $6.60. No real risk factor here.

 **GUESS WHAT!... within 7 days, I started getting $$$ in the mail! 

 I was shocked! I still figured it would end soon, and didn't give 
 it another thought. But the money just kept coming in. In my first 
 week, I made about $20 to $30 dollars. By the end of the SECOND 
 week I had a mad total of over $1,000!!!! In the third week I had 
 OVER $10,000 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week
 and I have made a TOTAL of just over $42,000... 
                              ... and it's STILL coming in!!!

 IT'S CERTAINLY WORTH AN INVESTMENT OF $5.00 DOLLARS I spent more 
 than that on the lottery!

 Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, WHY it works:
 also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can 
 get the information off of it as you need it. The process is VERY
 SIMPLE and consists 3 EASY steps:
 
 STEP 1: Get 5 separate pieces of paper and write the following on
 each piece of paper  "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." 
 now get 5 $1 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 5 pieces of 
 paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope to prevent 
 thievery. Next, place one paper in each of the 5 envelopes and seal 
 them.  You should now have 5 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of
 paper stating the above phrase and a $1 bill. What you are doing is 
 creating a service by this. THIS IS PERFECTLY LEGAL!  NOW, Mail the
 5 envelopes to the following addresses:     

        
        1: Jeremy Callaway
           5365 S. Sunnyslope Rd.       
           New Berlin WI, 53151     

        2: R. Wollenhapt
           498 Noehren Hall-UNI
           Cedar Falls, IA
50614                                                  
                   
        3: Douglas Allan
           21411 Le Fleur Dr.
           Mount Clemens  MI  48044

        4: Mark Citriglia
           999 Cornell Ct
           Painesville,  OH  44077 

        5: R. Schroeder
           8801 Wiles Rd. #304  
           Coral Springs FL  33067


 STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off of the list that you see above, 
 move the other 4 names up. ( 5 becomes 4, 4 becomes 3, etc..) 
 and add YOUR NAME as number 5 on the list.

 STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this 
 article as close to original as possible.  Now, Post your 
 amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. 

 (I think there is close to 18,000 groups) All you NEED is 200,
 but remember, the MORE you post, The more money you make! Don't 
 know HOW to post in the newsgroups? Do EXACTLY the following:

 FOR NETSCAPE USERS,  

   1) Click on any newsgroup, like normal. Then click on 
      'To News', which is in the top left corner of the 
       newsgroups page. This will bring up a message box.

   2) Fill in the Subject with a FLASY title, like the 
      one I used.     

   3) Now, go to the message part of the box and retype 
      this letter exactly as it is here, with the exception 
      of your few changes. ***(remember to add your name to
      number 5 and move the rest up)***

   4) When your done typing in the WHOLE letter, click on 
      'File' above the send button. then, 'Save As..' DO NOT
      SEND YOUR ARTICLE UNTIL YOU SAVE IT. 
           (so you don't have to type this 200 times)   

   5) Now that you have saved the letter, go ahead and send
      your first copy! (click that send button in the top left
      corner)   

   6) THIS IS WHERE YOU POST ALL 200! OK, go to ANY newsgroup 
      article and click the 'To News' button again. Type in your
      flashy subject in the SUBJECT BOX, then go to the body 
      part of the message and leave your cursor here.

    NOW...this is important & easy 
     
    click on 'Attachment' which is right below the SUBJECT BOX.
    click on attach file then find you letter wherever you saved
    it.  Click once on your file and then click 'open' then 
    click 'OK'. IF you did this correctly, you should see your 
    filename in the attachment box and it will be shaded green. 

                     !!!NOW POST AWAY!!  
 
  IF YOU'RE USING INTERNET 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 $1 
   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.

      ***BE SURE TO MAKE YOUR ADDRESS CHANGES TO THE 5 NAMES*** 

   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!  THAT'S IT! all you 
   have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away, after
   you get the hang of it. 

    ++++++ !It 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**  You  will begin
 receiving money from around the world within days! 

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

 Now the WHY part: Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 
 replies (a very low example) So then I made $5 with my name at 
 #5 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1
 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #4 and only
 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that is another 
 $25 for me.

 Now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #3 and
 only receive 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125!
 NOW, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with
 my name.

 At #2 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional 
                          $625 dollars! 

 OK, NOW here is the FUN part, EACH of those 625 persons post a 
 MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #1 and they each ONLY receive 5
 replies, that just made me $3,125!!! 

 With a original investment of only $5 dollars! AMAZING! And as I 
 said 5 responses is actually VERY LOW! average is probably 20 to 30!
 So lets put those figures at just 15 responses per person. Here is 
 What you will make:
                    at #5 $15
                      at #4 $225
                        at #3 $3,375
                          at #2 $50,625
                            at #1 $759,375

 When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the 
 latest posting that is appearing in the newgroups, and SEND OUT 
 ANOTHER $5 TO THE NAMES ON THE LIST, PUTTING YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 
 5 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 RIGHT NOW!!! So can you afford
 $5 dollars and see if it really works? 
  
 I'm living proof. All without spending more than lunch @ McDonalds!

 Make sure you print this article out RIGHT NOW.  Also, try to keep
 a list of everyone that sends you money and always keep an eye on the 
 newgroups to make sure everyone is playing fairly.

 REMEMBER, WE WERE PUT ON THIS EARTH, PRIMARILY, NOT TO SEE THROUGH 
         ONE ANOTHER ...BUT RATHER TO SEE ONE ANOTHER THROUGH!
