Dear everyone,

Please read the following with an open mind an in it's entirety and I
assure you you will not be disappointed. Thanks in advance.

First let me say this is not a "scam". It works if you do it right.
If you need some cash for bills, expenses or whatever, please take
the time to read the following. Especially if you are a student or
behind in bills. It will take only a few minutes and it could make
money for you. It costs you almost nothing and the return could be
tremendous.

The "Make $50,000 on your computer" thing is crap. The
math is all wrong there. This is how it really works.
Do the math yourself and see who is right.

This is the $1.00 concept explained simply. This used to be called
a "pyramid letter" and was done by mail originally in th U.S. It worked
then. Now the Internet has opened up a whole new world of possibilities
offering tremendous exposure for free. Literally millions of people
surf the Net. Many of them are looking for opportunities. This is one.

If you don't think it makes sense by the time you finish reading,
then just don't do it. If you're interested, there are three basic
steps, all of which are pretty easy.

STEP 1.
--------
Take five sheets of paper.  Write your name and address on each piece
along with the words: "Please place me on your mailing list". Fold
each piece of paper along with a $1 bill and put it in an envelope.
Now mail the 5 envelopes to the names listed below.  NOTE: By asking
to be placed on each person's mailing list you are in fact paying for
a service.

Mail to:

1.  Stuart Koch  
    Connolly Hall Box C115
    501 E. St. Joseph
    Rapid City, SD 57701

2.  Mary Sholes
    2825 Bayou Rd
    St Bernard LA 70085  

3.  Greg Simpson
    933 River Oak Dr
    Naperville IL 60565

4.  John Graham
    4747 Southpark #128
    Baton Rouge LA 70816

5.  Steven Mosher
     16120 Race Track Rd.
     Biloxi, MS 39532

When you have mailed your message and one dollar bill to the above
people, go to step 2.

STEP 2.
--------
Remove the 1st name and address from the above list and insert your own
in the number 5 position.  #5 becomes #4, then #4 bcomes #3, #3 becomes #2,
etc.
You can leave the rest of the article unchanged, or change it as you
see fit. Go to step 3.

STEP 3.
--------
Post this message with your name in the number 5 slot to at least 250
newsgroups.  There are at about 17000 newsgroups at any given moment in
time.  The average return on 250 postings is 5 responses. So you make
$5 from your first 250 postings. When you consider that there are millions
of people on the Net, this is not far fetched.
 
Each of those 5 people now make 250 additional postings with your name
at #4, 1250 postings.  On average then, 25 people will send you $1.00
with your name at #4. That's $25.00 return.
 
Now these 25 new people will make 250 postings each with your name at #3
or 6,250 postings. Now 125 people send you $1. That's $125 for you.

Now 125 people make 250 postings each with your name at #2. 31,250 
postings. According to our average, 625 people send you $1. So that's
$625.00 in cash.
 
Finally, 625 people make 250 postings each with your name at #1.
That's 156,250 postings. You then will get, according to the $5 per 250
posts average, $3,125 before your name drops off the list. Of course,
if everyone makes more than 250 posts, your response rate should be higher.


Now you have made $3,125 from an initial investment of $5 and maybe a
few hours on your computer. What could you do with an extra $3,125?

You can easily double, triple, etc, that amount by spending a few more
minutes and posting more than 250 articles.

From time to time you simply get on another list to keep it going. 
The end result depends on you.

HOW TO DO THIS EASILY:

Make any necessary changes to this article as explained in step 2 and
when you're done save it as a text file. In your news reader, select
the news groups you will post to (highlight them with the mouse and Shift
or Ctrl buttons). Click on "post" to get a new message ready. Put something
sensible in the subject header of your message. Copy the body of your
text document and paste it into the news message. Then hit send. Done.  

You may find it easier to post to 10 or 20 groups at a time.
Repeat the process over and over again by selecting more newsgroups.

Try to come up with a sensible subject in your article, and not one
that will turn people off.

This is an honest and easy way to make some extra money. And all for
an initial investment of $5, about the cost of a meal at a burger joint or
some such place. Only this will make you some money and the burger will
only give you indigestion.
