MAKE TTHOUSANDS on a $5 investment

DO YOU WANT TO MAKE MONEY FAST??? 

A little while back, I was browsing , 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 $5.00! So I 
thought, "Yeah, right, this must be a scam!", like most of us, but I was 
curious, like most of us, so I kept reading. Anyway, is said that you 
send $1.00 to each of the 5 names and addresses stated in the article. 
You then place your own name and address at the bottom of the list at 
#5, and post the article to at least 200 newsgroups.(There are about 
22,000.) No catch, that was it. 

So after thinking it over, I spoke to my attorney, a few friends, and 
family about it and they all agreed it was some kind of scam. After 
rejecting the idea at first, it kind of played on my mind and I thought, 
"What if it really worked??". I figured what have I got to lose except 5 
stamps and $5.00, right? And I decided to give it a shot. 

Then I invested the measly $5.00........ 

Well GUESS WHAT!!... within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! 
I was shocked! I still figured it would end soon, and didn't give it 
another thought. But the money just continued coming in. In my first 
week, I made about $20.00 to $30.00 dollars. By the end of the second 
week I had a mad total of $1,000.00!!!!!! In the third week I had over 
$10,000.00 and it was still growing. This is now my fourth week and I 
have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in..... 

It certainly worth $5.00 and 5 stamps, I spent a lot 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 when you need it. The process is very simple and 
consists of 3 easy steps: 

STEP 1: Get 5 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each 
piece of paper "PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING LIST. $1US DOLLAR 
PROCESSING FEE IN ENCLOSED." Now get 5 $1.00 bills and place ONE inside 
EACH of the 5 pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the 
envelope to prevent theft/robbery. Then, 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 $1.00 bill. 

Mail the 5 envelopes by standard mail to the following addresses: 

1. Kay Reed 720 Valley St. Hendersonville, NC 28739 USA 

2. Andreas Klokkaris 10 Pegassos Str. 1087, Nicosia CYPRUS 

3. Angela Brown Rt. 1 Box 1142c Bonifay, Fl. 32425 

4.  Kevin Naylor Rt. 1 Box 1142n Bonifay, Fl. 32425 

5. Brian Thacker  926K Lakecrest Ave.  High Point, NC  27265

STEP 2: Now take the 1st name off the above list, move the other names 
up(so #5 becomes #4, #4 becomes #3, and so on..) and add YOUR name and 
address as #5 on the list.(If you want to remain anonymous, put a 
nickname, but the address MUST be correct. It, of course, MUST contain 
your country, state/district/area, zip code, etc, because there are some 
idiots who don't put their COUNTRY!!! You wouldn't want your money to 
fly away, wouldn't you?!?!). 

STEP 3: Now post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups or 
better yet get your own homepage and advertise it like me. Tripod 
homepages and geocities hompages are both free and wonderful. Remember, 
200 postings is just a guideline. The more you post, the more money you 
make! Don't know how to post? Don't worry, I'm explaining that in an 
extra section at the end of the letter. 

Now the Why part: 

Out of 200 postings, let's say I receive only 5 replies(a very low 
example). So then I make $5.00, with my name at #5 on the list. Now, 
each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00, makes the MINIMUM 200 
postings, each with my name at #4 and only 5 persons respond to each of 
the original 5. So that's another $25.00 for me. Now, each one of those 
25 makes the MINIMUM 200 postings with my name at #3, and each one gets 
only 5 replies. Now I make an additional $125.00! Now these 125 persons, 
turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #2 
and only receive 5 replies each. Now I have an additional $625.00!! OK, 
now here's the fun part, each of these 625 persons will post the MINIMUM 
200 postings with my name at #1 and they receive only 5 replies each. 
So, that just made me an additional $3,125.00!!! With an initial 
investment of only $5.00! AMAZING! And as I said 5 responses each is 
actually VERY LOW! The average is probable 20 to 30! So let's put those 
figures at just 15 responses per person. here is what you will make: 

at #5 $5.00 

at #4 $225.00 (15 times $5.00) 

at #3 $3,375.00 (15 times $225.00) 

at #2 $50,625.00 (15 times $3,375.00) 

at #1 $759,375.00 (15 times $50,625.00) + 
--------------------------------------- $813,605.00 

LEGAL ? ? ? (Comments from Bob Novak who started this new version.) 

"People have asked me if this is really legal. Well, it is! You are 
using the Internet to advertise you business. What is that business? You 
are assembling a mailing list of people who are interested in home based 
computer and online business and methods of generating income at home. 
Remember, people send you a small fee to be added to your mailing list. 
It is legal. what will you do with your list of thousands of names? 
That's up to you." 

So, build your mailing list, keep good accounts, declare the income and 
pay your taxes. By doing this you prove your business intentions. Keep 
an eye on the newsgroups and when the cash has stopped coming(that means 
your name is no longer on the list), you just take the latest posting at 
the newsgroups, send another $5.00 to the names stated on the list, make 
your corrections(put your name at #5) and start posting again. 

Some people have asked me "What happens if the scheme is played out and 
noone sends money anymore?". Big deal, so you lose $5.00, BUT... do you 
know the chances of that happening??? Since this is a brand new program 
as of January 1st, 1997, you are on the ground floor! There are millions 
of Internet users, and millions of new net surfers every month! The 
Internet is growing in a tremendous rate - it doubles in size every 4 
months!!! Think about it. All that growth means profits for everyone who 
participates. There are no losers! Let's review why you should do this. 
The only cost is $5.00, 5 stamps and 5 envelopes. Anyone can afford this 
with such SPECTACULAR returns. There really is no risk - eat cheaper 
luches for a week and you've covered the $5.00. The biggest risk is not 
to try. 

Remember, play fairly and honestly and this will work. Make sure you 
print this article now, also.(If you don't have a printer, copy it to 
your Hard Drive.) Keep an eye on the newsgroups to make sure that 
everyone is playing fairly. You know where your name should be. 
Remember, honesty is the best policy. You don't need to cheat the basic 
idea to make the money. By the way, if you don't send the $5.00 to the 
stated names, you won't receive as much. Someone I talked to, knew 
someone who did that and he only made about $150.00, and that's after 
7-8 weeks! Then he sent the 5 $1.00 bills, people added him to their 
mailing lists, and he had the expected amount of money. This is the 
fairest and the most honest way I've ever seen to share the wealth of 
the world with costing nothing but our time!!! This is the easiest way 
you can make money, and I mean good money! Think how excited will you be 
to open your mailbox every day! So, GOOD LUCK to all of you and start 
making your plans, because it can(and it will!) happen to you. 

Thanks once again, 

Brian Thacker

NOTES: 

*1. In some countries, the export of the country's exchange is illegal. 
But you can get the license to do this from the post office, explaining 
the above statemenets(that you have an online business, etc...). You may 
have to pay an extra tax, but that's OK, the amount of the incoming 
money is HUGE! And as I said, a few countries have that restriction. *2. 
You may want to buy mailing and e-mail lists for future dollars.(Or 
Database or Spreadsheet software.) *3. If you're really not sure or 
still think this can't be for real, please print a copy of this article 
and pass it along to someone who really needs the money, and see what 
happens. *4. You will start getting responses within 1-2 weeks, it 
depends.

HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS FAST WITH YOUR WEB BROWSER: 

The fastest way to post a newsletter: 

Highlight and COPY(Ctrl-C) the text of this posted message and 
PASTE(Ctrl-V) it into a plain text editor(as Wordpad) and save it. After 
you have made the necessary changes that are stated above, simply 
COPY(Ctrl-C) and PASTE(Ctrl-V) the text into the message composition 
window, after selecting a newsgroup, and post it! (Or you can attach the 
file, without writing nothing to the message window.) 
------------------------------------------------------------------------ 


If you have Netscape Navigator 3.0 do the following: 

1. Click on any newsgroup like normal, then click on 'TO NEWS'. This 
will bring up a box to type a message in. 2. Leave the newsgroup box 
like it is, change the subject box to something flashy, something to 
catch the eye, as "$$$ NEED CASH $$$?!! READ HERE!$!$!$" or "$$$!!!MAKE 
FAST CASH, YOU CAN'T LOSE!!!$$$". Or you can use my subject title. 3. 
Now click on 'ATTACHMENTS'. Then click on 'ATTACH FILE'. Find your file 
on your Hard Disk(the one you saved from the text editor). Once you find 
it, click on it and then click 'OPEN' and 'OK'. You sould now see your 
file name in the attachments box. 4. Now click on 'SEND'/'POST'. You 
see? Now you just have 199 to go!!!(Don't worry, it's easy and quick 
once you get used to it.) 

NOTE: All the versions of Netscape Navigator's are similar to each 
other, so you'll have no problem to do this if you don't have Netscape 
Navigator 3.0. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
!QUICK TIP! (For Netscape Navigator 3.x and above) 

You can post this message to many newsgroups at a time, by simply 
selecting a newsgroup near the top of the screen, hold down the SHIFT, 
and then select a newsgroup near the bottom of the screen. All of the 
newsgroups in/between will be selected. After that, you follow/do the 
basic steps, stated below at this letter, except of step #1. You can go 
to the page stated below in this letter and click on a newsgroup to open 
up the newsgroups window. Once you've done this, in the same window go 
to 'OPTIONS', and then mark 'SHOW ALL NEWSGROUPS' and 'SHOW ALL 
MESSAGES'. Now you can see all the newsgroups and you can apply easier 
the above tip. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------ 


If you have MS Internet Explorer do the following: 

1. Go to the newsgroups and press 'POST AN ARTICLE'. To the new window 
type your headline in the subject area and then click in the large 
window below. There either PASTE your letter(which it's been copied from 
the text editor), or attach the file which contains it. 2. Then click on 
'SEND' or 'OK'. 

NOTE: All versions of MS Internet Explorer are similar to each other, so 
you won't have any problem doing this. 

GENERAL NOTES ON POSTING: A nice page where you'll find all the 
newsgroups if you want help is http://www.liszt.com/ (When you go to the 
home page, click on the link 'Newsgroup Directory'). But I don't think 
you'll have any problem posting because it's very easy once you've found 
the newsgroups. All these web browsers are similar. It doesn't matter 
which one you have.(But it makes it very easy if you have Netscape 
Navigator 3.0 or later. You may download it from the Internet if you 
don't have it.) You just have to remember the basic steps, stated below. 


BASIC STEPS FOR POSTING: 1. Find a newsgroup and you click on it. 2. You 
click on 'POST AN/NEW ARTICLE' or 'TO NEWS' or anything else similar to 
these. 3. You type your flashy headline in the subject box. 4. Now, 
either you attach the file containing your amended letter, or you PASTE 
the letter.(You have to COPY it from the text editor, of course, from 
before.) 5. Finaly, you click on 'SEND' or 'POST' or 'OK', whatever is 
there.
