Please give this a chance before you blow it off


I'd been looking for ways to raise money .I found text similar to this
posted in another group and thought I'd try it..When I read this I was
very skeptical, but desperate-- I invested EXACTLY $8.04 ... six $1.00
bills and six 34 cent postage stamps ... and boy am I glad I did!!! I
then waited to watch the money come in, prepared to maybe receive
about $1,000 to $1,500 in cash or so. But what a welcome surprise when
those envelopes kept coming in!!! : So, how much did I get in total
return? $1000? $5000? Not even!!! I received a total of $17,542!!! I
couldn't believe it!! !! Now after almost six months, I am ready to do
it again!!! I can finnaly pay off my debts!

Here is the original post:

*****A little while back, I was browsing through a 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 $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 need to send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated
in the article. 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 $20 . By the end of the
second week I had made a total of over $1,000 ! In the third week I
had over $15,000 and it's still growing.****

--Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it
works.... Read this entire message carefully! (PRINT IT OR DOWNLOAD
IT) I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you
will start making more money than you thought possible by doing
something so easy!
IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not
illegal; and it is virtually no risk - it really works!!!! If all of
the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive
extraordinary dividends.
Here are the 3 easy steps to success:

STEP 1:
Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece
of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." 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 . (Also, it might be a good idea
to wrap the $1 bill in dark paper to prevent thievery). Next, place
one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. You should now
have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the phrase
"PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST.", 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) Pat Lewis
406 Holyrood
Newfoundland A0A 2R0
Canada

#2) Vincent Kim
2400 Shelmire Ave
Philadelphila PA 19152
USA

#3) Srikar Simha
1583 Blenheim Road
Rockville Centre NY 11570
USA

#4) Brent Shinwill
620 So. 22
Herrin, IL 62948
USA

#5) Mark Dunlap
505 Berring St.
Buchanan, MI 49107
USA

#6) James Cooper
52529 CR 25
Bristol, IN 46507
USA

REMEMBER TO PUT ENOUGH STAMPS ON YOUR ENVELOPES!!!!

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
number 6 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-like this one. (I think there are close to
2.4million groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you
post, the more money you make! 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, the program will continue and the money that so many others
have received will come your way.
**NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address 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 So, as each post
is downloaded and the directions carefully followed, six members will
be reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer with one
dollar each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so that
when your name reaches the #1 position you will be receiving thousands
of dollars in CASH!!!
**DIRECTIONS ----- FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS------------
Step: 1)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
computer's memory.
....... 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.
........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.
.......4)Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for
various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites,
discussions.)
.......5)Visit these message 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 the WHY part:
Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low
example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now,
each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200
postings, 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 replies each, I
will bring in an additional $125 ! 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 $626 ! OK, now here is the fun part,
each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at
#2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125 !!!
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 receive $15,625 ! With an original investment of only
$6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the list, you just take
the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to
names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again. And start
posting again.

** By the way, if you try to deceive people by posting the messages
with your name in the list and not sending
the CASH to the rest of the people already on the list, you will NOT
get as much.i know someone who did this and he only made about
$150.00, and that's after seven or eight weeks! Then he
sent the 6 $1.00 bills, people added him to their lists, and in 4-5
weeks he had over $5.000.
This is the fairest and most honest way I have ever seen to share the
wealth of the world without costing
anything but our time!!! You also may want to buy mailing and e-mail
lists for future CASH.
Make sure you print this article out RIGHT NOW! Also, try to keep a
list of everyone that sends you CASH and
always keep an eye on the newsgroups to make sure everyone is playing
fairly. Remember, HONESTY IS THE
BEST POLICY. You don't need to cheat the basic idea to make the CASH!!

**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...
Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really work. GOOD
LUCK!!!
