DO YOU WANT TO MAKE MONEY FAST???

Of course you do!!! Here's how to do so with little effort, 
and yes IT'S LEGAL.

  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 $6.00!
 So I thought, "Yeah, right, this must be a scam!", but like most of us, I
was curious.  Like most of us, I kept reading.  Anyway, it said that if you
send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and addresses stated in the article, you
could make thousands in a very short period of time.  You then place your
own name and address at the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article
to at least 200 newsgroups.  (There are about 22,000). 

  No catch, that was it.
 This is very simple to do also, and instructions on how to do so are
listed below.

  Even though the investment was a measly $6, I had three questions that
needed to be answered before I could get involved in this sort of thing.

1.  IS THIS REALLY LEGAL??
 
  I called a lawyer first.  The lawyer was a little skeptical 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 legitimate legal business.

2.  Would the post office be ok with this....I called them:
1-800-725-2161
and they confirmed THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! (See Title 18.h sections 1302
NS 1341 of Postal Lottery Laws).  This clarifies the program of collecting
names and addresses for a mailing list.

3.  Is this moral?  Well, everyone who sends a buck has a good chance of
getting
 A LOT of money.....a much better chance than buying a lottery ticket!!!

  So, having these questions answered, I invested EXACTLY $7.92 (six $1
dollar bills, and six 32 cent postage stamps....and boy am I ever glad that
I did!!!

  Within 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 continued coming in.  In my first week, I made about $20 to
$30.  By the end of the second week I had a mad total of
$1,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!  In the third week, I had over $10,000 and it was still
growing.  This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over
$42,000 and it's still coming...

It's certainly worth $6.00 and 6 stamps!!!
  So now I'm reposting this so I can make even more money!  The *ONLY*
thing stopping *ANYONE* from enriching their own bank accounts 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 from this GRAND TOTAL investment of
$7.92 (US) and under ONE HOUR of my time, I have reaped an incredible
amount of money - like nothing that I have ever even heard of anywhere
before!  'Nuff said!

  Let me tell you how this works, and most importantly why this works.  
  Also, make sure you print a copy of this article now, so you can get the
information off of it when you need it.  The process is very simple and
consists of THREE easy steps.

=============
HOW IT WORKS
=============

Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:

STEP 1:
-------------

Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each:
   
           PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING LIST.
           $1 US DOLLAR PROCESSING FEE ENCLOSED.

(THIS IS KEY, AS THIS IS WHAT MAKES IT LEGAL SINCE YOU ARE PAYING FOR AND
LATER OFFERING SERVICE).

Now get 6 $1 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so
the bill will not be seen through the envelope to prevent theft.  Then,
place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them.  
  
   You should now 6 sealed envelopes, each containing a piece of paper
stating the above phrase and a US $1 bill.

#1  THE WINDFALL COMPANY
      PO BOX 298
      ATWOOD, CA, 92811-0298

#2  JA Gualtierei
      45-350 Columbia St. W.
      Waterloo, ON, Canada
       N2L 6G3

#3  Chris Weldert
      314 Hurlburt Rd.
      Syracuse, NY 13224
#4  Trust Fund
      Clarkson University
      P.O. 6610
      Potsdam,  NY
      13699

#5  Jeremy Roberts
      535 Parkside Dr.
      Ashland,  OR
      97520

#6   M E Lyman
     18 North Main St.
     Geneva, NY 14456  

STEP 2:  Now take the #1 name off of 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.  (If you want to remain anonymous, put a nickname,
but the ADDRESS MUST be correct.  It Must contain your country,
state/district/area/zip code etc.  You wouldn't want your money to fly away
now would you?!?!?).

STEP 3:  Now post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. 
Remember, 200 postings is just a guideline.  The more you post, the more
money you make!  Don't know HOW to post in the newsgroups?  Well do exactly
the following:
------------------------------------------------------------

     HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS FAST WITH YOUR WEB BROWSER:

           The fastest way to post a newsletter:

Highlight and COPY (Cntrl-C) the text of this posted message and PASTE
(Cntrl-V) it into a plain text editor (as Wordpad) and save it.  After you
have made the necessary changes that are stated above, simply COPY
(Cntrl-C) and PASTE (Cntrl-V) the text into the message composition window,
after selecting a newsgroups, and post it!  (Or you can attach the file,
without writing anything in the message window.)
-------------------------------------------------------------

        If you have Netscape Navigator 3.0 do the following:

1.  Click on any newsgroups like normal, then click on 'TO NEWS'.  This
will bring up a box to type a message in.
2.  Leave the newsgroups box like it is, change the subject box to
something really flashy, something to catch the eye, as:
 "$$$  NEED CASH $$$?!!! READ HERE!?$!?$$  or $$$$!!!!MAKE CASH FAST, YOU
CAN"T LOSE$$$$ or you can use my subject title.
3.  Now click on 'ATTACHMENTS'.  Then click on 'ATTACH FILE'.  Find your
file on your Hard Disk (the one you saved from the text editor).  Once you
find it, click on it and then click 'OPEN' and 'OK'.  You should now see
your file name in the attachments box.
4.  Now click on 'SEND/POST'.  You see?  Now you just have 199 to go!!! 
Don't worry, it's easy and quick once you get used to it).

NOTE: All of the versions of Netscape Navigator are similar to each other,
so you'll have no problem doing this if you don't have Netscape Navigator
3.0.

                          QUICK TIP!
              (For Netscape Navigator 3.x and above)

  You can post this message to many newsgroups at a time, by simply
selecting a newsgroups near the top of the screen, hold down the SHIFT, and
then select a newsgroups near the bottom of the screen.  All of the
newsgroups in between will be selected.  After that, you follow/do the
basic steps, stated below at this letter, except  step #1.  You can go to
the page stated below in this letter and click on a newsgroups to open up
the newsgroups window.  
    Once You've done this, in the same window go to 'OPTIONS', and then
mark 'SHOW ALL NEWSGROUPS' and 'SHOW ALL MESSAGES'.  Now you can see all
the newsgroups and you can mores easily apply the tip above.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------


-------

                     If you have MS Internet Explorer do the following:

1.  Got to the newsgroups and press 'POST AN ARTICLE'.  In the new window,
type your headline in the subject area and then click in the large window
below.  There either PASTE your letter (which it's been copied from the
text editor), or attach the file that contains it.
2. Click on 'SEND' or 'OK'.

   NOTE: All versions of MS Internet Explorer are similar to each other, so
you won't have any problem doing this.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------


--------

   GENERAL NOTES ON POSTING:  A nice page where you'll find all the
newsgroups if you want help is http://www.liszt.com/ (When you go to the
home page, click on the link 'NEWSGROUPS DIRECTORY). But I don't think
you'll have any problem posting because it's very easy once you've found
the newsgroups.  All these web browsers are similar.  It doesn't matter
which one you have.  (But it makes it very easy if you have Netscape
Navigator 3.0 or later.  You can download it for free from Netscape's web
page if you don't have it.)  You just have to remember the basic steps,
stated below.

    BASIC STEPS FOR POSTING:
1. Find a newsgroups and click on it.
2. You click on 'POST A NEW ARTICLE' or 'TO NEWS' or anything else similar.
3. You type your flashy headline in the subject box.
4.  Now, either you attach the file containing your amended letter, or you
PASTE the letter. (You have to copy it from the text editor, of course
before).
5.  Finally, you click on 'SEND' or 'POST' or 'OK', whatever is there.

***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 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 OF 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 with my name at the #6 spot on the letter.  Now, each of
the 5 persons who just sent me $1.oo make a MINIMUM 200 postings, each with
my name at the #5 spot, and only 5 respond to each of the original 5, that
is another $25 for me.  Now those 25 each make the MINIMUM 200 postings
with my name at the #4 spot and I receive only 5 replies from each.  That
brings 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.  I will make
an additional $626!  OK, NOW THE FOR THE FUN PART.  Each of those 626
persons post the minimum 200 postings with my name at the #2 spot and I
only receive 5 replies from each 200 postings.  That brings in an
additional 3,125!!! Those people turn around and make the minimum 200
postings with my name at the #1 spot, and I will receive $15,625!!  With an
original investment of only $6!  AMAZING!  As I said before too, 5
responses is actually VERY LOW!  Average is more like 20-30!

   So let's put those figures at just 15 responses per person.  Here is
what you'll make:

   at #6  $15
   at #5  $225
   at #4  $3,375
   at #3  $50,625
   at #2  $759,375
   at #1  $11,390,625

  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.

  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 and see if it
really works?  I think so... People have said, "what if the plan is played
out and no one sends you money?  So what!  What are the chances of that
happening when there are tons of new homes who are joining the Internet
everyday and are willing to give it a try?  Estimates are at 20,000 ro
50,000 new users everyday!

  Remember,
Play FAIR and HONESTLY and this will work.

  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.  Someone I talked to knew someone who did
that, and he only made about $150, and that was after 7 or 8 weeks!!!!! 
Then he sent the 6 $1 bills, people added him to their lists, and in 4-5
weeks he had over $10,000.  This is the fairest and most honest way to
share the wealth of the world without costing anything but our time!!!  You
also may want to buy mailing and email lists for future dollars.

Make sure you print this article out RIGHT NOW, also.  Try to keep a list
of everyone that sends you money and always keep an eye on the newsgroups
to make sure that everyone is playing fairly.  Remember, HONESTY IS THE
BEST POLICY, and besides, you would not want others cheating you out of
your money now would you?  In fact you don't need to cheat (and it is
better not too), you will make those 6 back in no time at all and those 6
people you sent to, they will add you to their mailing lists too. 
Remember, when the money starts slowing, people take the last 5 names they
have received from and make a new list (with theirs again at the #6 spot). 
If you were one of the last 5 to send to them, then your name will be sent
also when they post to the newsgroups.  In the long-run it is quite wise to
send the 6 along with being fair.

  GOOD LUCK to all, and please play fairly and reap the huge rewards from
this, which is tons of extra CASH.

  Please remember to declare your extra income.  Thanks once again.
=========================================================

  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 your 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 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 (or start your own with the last 5 people to send to you), send
another $6.00 to the names stated on the list, make your corrections (put
your name as #6) and start posting again!

=================================================

  NOTES:

 *1.  In some countries, the export of the countries exchange is illegal.
But you can get the license to do this from the post office, explaining the
above statements (that you have an online business etc.) You may have to an
extra tax, but that's OK, the amount of the incoming money is HUGE!  And as
I said, a few countries have that restriction.

  *2.  You may want to buy mailing lists and email lists for future
dollars. (or database of spreadsheet software).

  *3.  If you're really not sure or still think this can't be for real,
please print a copy of this article and pass it along to someone who really
needs money, and see what happens.

  *4  You will start getting responses within 1-2 weeks, it depends.

   Please forward this to everyone you know.  It will help everyone
involved make money.  So, the more people you send this too, the more money
you make.
                                           GOOD LUCK!
