PLEASE DON'T LET THIS SLIP BY YOU!  YOU DESERVE TO GIVE IT A CHANCE! I
DID!  GO AHEAD, WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE?
I would like to state now that if this posting is offensive, then
please
accept my apologies now to you and your newsgroup.
A little 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
US$7.00! So
I thought,"Yeah, right, this must be a scam", but like most of us, I was
curious, so I kept reading. It said that you had to send US$1.00 to each
of the
7 names and addresses stated in the article.
You then place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at
#7,
and post the article to at least 200 newsgroups. (There are thousands).
No
catch, that was it.
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 7 stamps and
US$7.00,
right?
Like most of us, I was a little skeptical and a little worried about
the
legal aspects of it all. So I checked with the U.S. Post Office
(1-800-725-2161)
and they confirmed that it is indeed legal! (See Title 18h, sections
1302 NS
1341 of Postal Lottery Laws). This clarifies the program of collecting
names and
addresses for a mailing list.
Then I called a lawyer. This lawyer friend was a little unbelieving
that
I would actually make any money but he said it WAS LEGAL if I wanted to
try it.
I told him it sounded a lot like a chain letter but the details of the
system
(SEE BELOW) actually made it a legitimate legal business.
Is this moral? Well, everyone who sends me a buck has a good chance of
getting A LOT of money.... a much better chance than buying a lottery
ticket!!! In the end it looks to me like no one loses, we help each
other move
ahead.
So, having these questions answered, I invested EXACTLY US$9.24... 7
US$1.00 bills and seven 32 cent postage stamps... and boy am I glad I
did!!
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 kept coming in. In my first week, I
made
about US$20.00. By the end of the second week I had made a total of over
US$1,000.00!!!!!! In the third week I had over US$10,000.00 and it's
still
growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over
US$42,000.00 and it's still coming in rapidly.......
It's certainly worth US$7.00, and 7 stamps, I spent more than that on
the
lottery!!
The *ONLY* thing stopping *ANYONE* from increasing their own bank
account
is pure laziness! It took me all of 5 MINUTES to print this out, follow
the
directions, and begin posting to newsgroups. It took me a mere 45
minutes to
post to over 200 newsgroups. And for this GRAND TOTAL investment of
US$9.24 and
under ONE HOUR of my time, I have reaped an incredible amount of money
--like
nothing I've ever even heard of anywhere before!
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 it when you need it. The process is very simple and
consists of
just 3 easy steps:
STEP 1: Get 7 separate pieces of thick paper or cardboard and write the
following on each piece of paper "PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING LIST.
US$1
DOLLAR PROCESSING FEE IS INCLUDED." (THIS IS IMPORTANT AS THIS IS WHAT
MAKES IT
LEGAL SINCE YOU ARE PAYING FOR AND LATER OFFERING A SERVICE) along with
your
name, e-mail and home addresses. Now get 7 US$1.00 bills (or equivalent
in your
local currency) and place ONE inside EACH of the 7 pieces of paper so
the bill
will not be seen through the envelope (to prevent thievery). Next, place
one
paper in each of 7 small envelopes and seal them securely. You should
now have 7
sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase,
your name
and home and e-mail addresses, and a US$1.00 bill (no coins please!).
What you
are doing is creating a service. AND IT'S ABSOLUTELY LEGAL!
Then mail the 7 envelopes to the following addresses:


#1 Tony Felicilda
   1816 Ashland Ave
   St Paul, MN   55104

#2 Sean Cusack
   181 Weddell Dr.  #68
   Sunnyvale, CA  94086

#3 Richie
   Blk 150, #10-49
   Jalan Teck Whye
   Singapore 680150

#4 Jennifer Donofrio
   22338 Sandy Lane
   Fairview Park, OH  44126

#5 Ann Druffel
   Lim Ah Pin Rd Post Office
   PO Box 617
   Singapore 915401

#6 B. Bonkofsky
   1201 Johnson Road
   Louisville, KY 40245

#7 Dustin Folden
    320 17th Ave. N
    Wahpeton, ND 58075

STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the
other names up (7 becomes 6, 6 becomes 5, etc...) and add YOUR name as
#7 on the list.
STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as
close
to the original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least
200
newsgroups. (I think there are close to 24,000 groups.) All you need is
200, but
remember, the more you post, the more money you make! If you have a
large
mailing list, you can even try e-mailing your friends.
Don't know HOW to post to the newsgroups? Well do exactly the
following:

DIRECTIONS - 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, click
and hold
down your mouse button. While holding down the mouse button, drag your
cursor to
the bottom of this document and over to just after the last character,
and
release the mouse button. At this point the entire letter should be
highlighted.
Then, from the 'edit' pull down menu at the top of your screen, select
'copy'.
This will copy the entire letter into the computer's memory.
Step 2.  Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top
of
the blank page. From the 'edit' pull down menu, select 'paste'. This
will paste
a copy of the letter into 'notepad' so that you can add your name to the
list.
Remember to eliminate the #1 position, move everyone up a spot
(re-number
everyone else's positions), and add yourself in as #7.
Step 3.  Save your new 'notepad' file as a .txt file. If you want to do
your postings at different sittings, you'll always have this file to go
back to.

FOR NETSCAPE USERS:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Step 4.  Within the Netscape program, go to the pull-down window
entitled
'Window' and select 'NetscapeNews'. Then from the 'Options' pull down
menu
select 'Show all Newsgroups'. After a few moments, a list of all the
newsgroups
on your server will show up. Click on any newsgroup you desire. From
within this
newsgroup, click on the 'TO NEWS' button, which should be in the top
left corner
of the newsgroups page. This will bring up a message box.
Step 5.  Fill in the Subject. This will be the header that everyone
sees
as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group.
Step 6.  Highlight the entire contents of your .txt file and copy them
using the same technique as before. Go back to the newsgroup 'TO NEWS'
posting
you are creating and paste the letter into the body of your posting.
Step 7.  Hit the 'Send' Button in the upper left corner. You're done
with
your first one! Congratulations!!!

INTERNET EXPLORER USERS:
--------------------------------------------------
Step 4.  Go to newsgroups and select 'Post an Article'.
Step 5.  Fill in the subject.
Step 6.  Same as step 6 above.
Step 7.  Hit the 'Post' button.
--------------------------------------------------
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 TO, 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! **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.**
Now the WHY part:
Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very small
response).
So then I made US$5.00 with my name at #7 on the letter. Now, each of
the 5
Persons who just sent me US$1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each
with my
name at #6 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that's
another
US$25.00 for me. Now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name
at #5 and
Receives only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional US$125.00!
Now,
those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at
#4 and
only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional US$625.00! OK,
now here
is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters
with my
name at #3 and they each receive only 5 replies, that's just made me
US$3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200
newsgroups with my name at #2 and if only 5 persons per 200 newsgroups
react, I
will receive US$15,625.00! This will snowball to an incredible
US$78,125.00 with
my name at #1. With an original investment of only US$7.00! AMAZING! And
as I
said 5 responses is actually VERY LOW! Average is probably 20 to 30! So
let's
put those figures at just 15 responses per person. Here is what you will
make
at #7 US$15.00, at #6 US$225.00,
at #5 US$3,375.00, at #4 US$50,625.00,
at #3 US$759,375.00, at #2 US$11,390,625.00,
at #1 US$170,859,375.00.
When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest
posting
in the newsgroups, and send out another US$7.00 to the names on the
list,
putting your name at #7 again. Then start posting again. And 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
US$7.00 and
see if it really works?? I think so.... People have said, "What if the
plan is
played out and no one sends you the money?" So what! What are the
chances of
that happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest
people who
are joining the Internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give
it a
try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, everyday, with
thousands of
those joining the actual Internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY
and this
will work. You just have to be honest.
Make sure you print this article out RIGHT NOW. Also, keep a list of
everyone that sends you money (a mailing list) 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 on the basic idea to make the
money!!
GOOD LUCK to all. Please play fairly and reap the huge rewards from
this,
which is tons of extra CASH!
**BY THE WAY, if you try to deceive people by posting the messages with
your name in the list and not sending the money to the rest of the
people
already on the list, you will NOT get as much. I knew someone who did
that and
he only made about US$150.00, and that's after 7 or 8 weeks! Then he
sent the
seven US$1.00 bills, people added him to their lists, and in 4-5 weeks
he had
over $10k. 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 dollars.
Please remember to declare your extra income. Thanks once again...
If you still aren't convinced that this works just remember:
Only those who attempt the absurd achieve the impossible!
=====================================================================
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 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 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
US$7.00
to the names stated on the list, make your corrections (put your name at
#7) and
start posting again.
======================================================================
PERSONAL NOTE: I work as a waitress, and I don't have money to waste on
something that I don't think will help me.
I am willing to take a chance with this. If you are too, we can really
make some money! If it doesn't work, what have we lost? Less than 10
dollars!
But what if it DOES work?  Can you imagine how it would feel to see your
mailbox
filled with money, day after day? Think of what you could do with it
all: pay
off bills, put your kids through college, build your dream home...the
possibilities are endless.
But the very best part would be not having to worry about your
financial
situation anymore. It means security and peace of mind, and you can't
put
a price on that.
