           NEW VERSION ! 1997   (Legal Questions Addressed!)

        In late October of 1996, I saw an article in an Internet newsgroup
telling me that I could make $50,000.00  within a month for an investment
of only $5.00.  I thought,  "OH YEAH!! I'VE GOT A BRIDGE I'LL SELL YOU
TOO!!"  It sounded   like all the rest of the "get rich quick" schemes and
scams   I've seen over the past few years.

        I spoke to my attorney, a few friends, and my wife  about it, and
they all agreed it was some kind of scam.  I can't  stand scams, because
usually someone gets burned, and I
didn't want it to be me.  After rejecting the idea at first,  it kind of
played on my mind and I thought, "What if it really worked?" I realized all
I had to lose was $5.00, I usually blow that much on the lottery every week
anyway, so I figured what the heck, and decided to give it a shot.

        Within two weeks I began receiving money in the mail!  Soon,
hundreds, and then thousands of dollars began to roll in.  Within 4 weeks,
I had received a total of $41,219.00!  It came from everywhere in the
world.  Lately, I've doubled my efforts and the money is rolling in even
faster. Now, I am really going to work!  Anybody can afford to gamble $5.00
on a chance to make $35,000.00 or more in a month, especially when the
business has already proven itself.

        If you follow the three steps below, there is no reason why the
same shouldn't happen to you!  This is a legitimate investment opportunity.
You invest $5.00, and you receive a return on your investment.  So does the
next investor.  THIS IS NOT ILLEGAL!  THIS IS NOT A CHAIN LETTER!  THIS IS
PERFECTLY LEGITIMATE!  (See additional legal details below.)

THE PROCEEDURE IS SIMPLE:

 1) Invest your $5.00 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 one $1.00 U.S. Treasury bill, money order,
or bank note inside each piece of paper, and mail them by standard U. S.
Mail to the following five addresses:
 
 1. C. Hart
     45010 N. Ridge Rd.
     Amherst, OH  44001

 2. A. DiEva
     410 W. Red Bank Ave.
     Woodbury, NJ  08096

 3. R. Johnson, Jr.
     P.O. Box 516
     Dalton, GA  30722-0516

 4. J. Russell
     872 W. Bigelow
     Findlay, Oh.  45840

5. 	M. Matthews
      P.O. Box 20143
       Boulder, CO  80308-3143

 2)   Now remove the top name from the list, and move the other four names
up. In other words, #5 becomes #4 and so on. Put your name as the fifth one
on the list. You can do
this by simply retyping the article or reposting it to other newsgroups
with the edited addresses. 


 3)    Post the article to at least 200 newsgroups. There are 22,000, so it
shouldn't be hard to find that many. Remember, there are no "Free Lunches"
in this world so the harder you work the more money you will make.

        You are now in the mail order investment business, and should start
seeing returns within a week or two. Of course, the more newsgroups you
post to, the greater your return will be. If you wish to remain anonymous,
you may use a pseudonym, but make sure your address is correct.

                            LEGAL ? ? ?

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

                     HERE IS WHY THE SYSTEM WORKS:

        The Internet is growing at a tremendous rate - it doubles in size
every 4 months.  Think about it.  You see those "Make Money Fast" posts
more and more.  All that growth means profits for everyone who
participates.  There are no losers.

        Of every 200 posts I made, I received roughly 5 responses. That
probably doesn't seem like much.  You make $5.00 for every 200 posts with
your name at #5.  Each person who sent you $1.00 now also makes 200
additional postings with your name at #4. i.e.. 1000 postings. On average,
50 people will send you $1.00 with your name at #4. $50.00.

        Your 50 new agents make 200 postings each with your name at #3 or
10,000 postings. Average return 500 people = $500.00. They make 200
postings each with your name at #2 = 100,000 postings=5000 return at $1.00
each = $5,000.

         Finally, 5,000 people make 200 postings with your name at #1 and
you get a return of $50,000 before your name drops off the list.  AND
THAT'S IF EVERYONE DOWN THE LINE MAKES ONLY 200 POSTINGS!  Total income in
one cycle = $50,000.

         From time to time, when you see your name no longer on the list,
you take the latest posting that appears in the newsgroups, and send out
another $5.00, and put your name at #5, and start posting again.  Remember,
200 postings is only a guideline. The more you post, the greater the
return.

        Lets review why you should do this. THE ONLY COST IS $5.00, 5
STAMPS, AND 5 ENVELOPES.  Anyone can afford $5.00 for such an effortless
investment with such SPECTACULAR RETURNS.

        Some people have said to me, "What happens if the scheme is played
out and no one sends me any money?"  Big Deal, so you lose $5.00.  But what
are the chances of that happening?  SINCE THIS IS A BRAND NEW PROGRAM AS OF
JANUARY 1997, YOU'RE IN ON THE GROUND FLOOR!

        There are millions of Internet users, and millions of new net
surfers every month.  REMEMBER - read the instructions carefully, and play
fairly.  THAT'S the only way this will work. Get a printout so you can
refer back to this article easily.

        Keep a list of everyone that sends you money, keep good books, pay
your taxes, and always keep an eye on the postings to make sure everyone is
playing fairly.  You know where your name should be.

        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 it along to
someone you know who really needs the
bucks, and see what happens.

        REMEMBER - HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY. WHAT ARE $5.00
TO YOU?  YOU DON'T NEED TO CHEAT THIS IDEA TO MAKE MONEY!!! 
(We will monitor the program and if we find you have cheated by not sending
your money to your five recipients, we will just dump you out of the
system).  This is the easiest way that you can make a buck.  Think how
excited you'll be to open up your mailbox day after day!!  Will it be
$50.00 or $5,000.00?? Start making your plans, because it can happen to
you.

        DON'T PASS UP THIS ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY!!!

Extra section:

HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS FAST WITH YOUR WEB BROWSER:



The Fastest Way To Post To a Newsletter:

Simply highlight and COPY (Ctrl-C for copy) the text this e-mail message
and PASTE it into a text editor such as Notepad and SAVE it (as a .txt
file).  After you have made the necessary changes that are outlined above,
Simply COPY and PASTE the text into the message section of the message
composition window and to be posted to the Newsgroup and post it!



------------------------------------------------------------



If you have Netscape 3.0 do EXACTLY the following:

1)    Click on any news group like normal, THEN click on 'TO NEWS', which
is on the far left when you're in the newsgroups page.  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, like, "NEED CASH $$$  READ HERE $$$" or "FAST CASH"!!!

3)    Tab once and you should be ready to type.  Now, retype (only once)
THIS whole article WORD FOR WORD, except insert your name at #5, and remove
#1 off the list, plus any other small changes you think you need to make. 
Keep almost all of it the SAME!
4)    When you're done typing the WHOLE article, click on FILE in THIS BOX,
RIGHT ABOVE SEND, NOT WHERE IT SAYS NETSCAPE NEWS ON THE FIRST BOX.  Click
on SAVE AS when you're under FILE.  Save your article as a text file to
your C: or A: drive.  DO NOT SEND OR POST YOUR ARTICLE UNTIL YOU DO THIS. 
Once saved, move on to number 5 below.

NOTE: If you don't want to type in the whole article by
hand, AND you know how to use a plain text editor (like
Notepad), you can edit the file ahead of time, then attach
it as shown in step 6.

5)    If you still have all of your text, send or post to this newsgroup
now by just clicking send, which is right below FILE, and right above Cc:.

6)    Here's where you're going to post all 200.  OK, click on any news
group then click on 'TO NEWS', again in the top left corner.  Leave the
NEWSGROUPS BOX alone again, put a flashy subject title in the SUBJECT BOX,
hit TAB once you're in the body of the message. Click on ATTACHMENTS, which
is below the SUBJECT BOX.  You will get another box to come up. Click on
ATTACH FILE, then find YOUR file that you saved; click on the file, and
then click 'OPEN' now click on OK; if you did this right, you should see
your file name in the attachments box, and it will be shaded green.

Note: If you don't want to type in the whole article and you
know how to use a plain text editor (Notepad), you can edit
the file ahead of time, then attach it.

QUICK TIP!

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 key, and then
select a newsgroup near the bottom of the screen.  All of the newsgroup
in-between will also be selected.

IF YOU USE INTERNET EXPLORER IT'S JUST AS EASY!
1)    HOLDING DOWN THE LEFT MOUSE BUTTON, highlight this article.  then
press the
"Ctrl" key and the "C" key at the same time to copy this article.  then
print this article for your records, to have the names of those you will be
sending $1 bills to.

2) Go to the news groups and press "post an article".  A window will open.
Type in your headline in the subject area and then click in the large
window below.  Press "Ctrl" and
then "v" and the article will be placed in the window. If you want to edit
the article, do so and then highlight and copy it again. Now every time you
post the article in a new newsgroup all you have to repeat is "Ctrl" and
"v" and press post.
3)    That's it.  Each time you do this, all you have to do is type in a
different newsgroup, so that way, it posts to 200 DIFFERENT newsgroups, or
more.  You see?  Now you just have 199 to go!! (Don't worry, each   one
takes about 30 seconds, once you get used to it.)

REMEMBER 200 IS THE MINIMUM!  The more you post the more money you will
receive. AND THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT!!!   DON'T LET THIS ONCE IN A
LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY PASS YOU BY!
