   Hello, why don't you join me in making (potentially) thousands of dollars
 in this easy, co-operative venture?
 Here's how it works:
 
 Get 5 pieces of paper, and write the following on each:
 "Please add me to your mailing list. Your name was in position number-"
 Then look at the following list, and add the appropriate position number
 to each piece of paper, addressing an envelope to correspond to it.
 
 Enclose a $1 bill in each piece of paper,(I'm using American currency to
 standardize the amount; besides, the Canadian $1 coin doesn't mail well)
 add your name and address, and mail to each person on the list.
 
 Now you have to compose your own message for posting to as many
 newsgroups as possible.  Use the list in this article, but do the
 following:
  
 1. take the first name and address off the list
 
 2. move the four remaining names and addresses up one position
 
 3. add your own name and address in the number 5 position
 
 You would have to post to at least 200 newsgroups, and there are probably
 ways of saving and re-using your message, depending on the software you 
 have. I'm not going to tell you I've made $50,000 doing this; to be
 honest, this is the first time I've tried it.  But I'm a scientist by
 trade, and it seems as if this would work.  Let's try it. Here's your
 list:
 
 1. G. Arrigo
    P.O. Box 8952
    Schlieren
    Switzerland
 
 2. S. Hines
    9804 Kingsman
    Dallas, TX 75228
    USA
 
 3. A. LeBlanc
    C.P. 764
    Vercheres QC
    Canada J0L 2R0
 
 4. D. Downs
    146 Woodborough Way
    Edmonton AB
    Canada T5Y 1N2
 
 5. R. Strickland
    Suite 119
    #305 4625 Varsity Drive N.W.
    Calgary AB
    Canada T3A 0Z9
 
 Print out this article first so you'll have the list.  That's all there
 is to it!  Good Luck!  Ross Strickland.
