Money!!!!!!
YOU can have it now!  What do you need?  How much is enough?

WHY THIS IS NOT ILLEGAL LIKE OTHER MAIL INVESTMENT SYSTEMS:

REFER TO TITLE 18, SECTION 1302 OF THE US POSTAL SERVICE AND 
REGULATIONS IF YOU WISH!  THIS BUSINESS IS LEGITIMATE!

Many of the other mail investment scams out there are illegal because 
of the $1 investment.  It is illegal to give somebody and dollar and 
promise them amounts of money.  Instead, with $1, you are actually 
purchasing a service.

I saw an article in an internet newsgroup telling me I could make
$50,000 within a month for an investment of only $5.  I thought
it was a huge joke. I spoke to my attorney, friends and family
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, I realized
all I had to lose was the $5 in my wallet, and not much else. So,
needing more than just $5, I figured what the heck, and gave it
a shot.  Two weeks later, I began recieving money in the mail!
I could not believe it! Soon, hundreds, and then thousands of
dollars began to roll in. Within 4 weeks, I had recieved a total
of $32,445! It came from everywhere in the world.

If you are not interested, then don't participate, but please
print this article and pass it on to someone who may be.

Here are the three simple steps:

(1)  Write your name and address on 5 sheets of paper.  Below
     that, write the words, "Please add me to your mailing list."
     Fold a $1 note or money order in each piece of paper and
     mail them to the following 5 addresses:

1.  Jason Sanderson
    27 Burning Bush Way
    Orchard Park, NY 14127 USA

2.  CJ Carter
    5528 Allbrook
    San Antonio TX 78244-1429 USA

3.  D.W. Edwards
    176 Oak Grove Rd.
    Statesville, NC 28677 USA

4.  J.T. Bill
    S465 Pioneer
    615 Fulton St SE
    Minneapolis, MN 55455 USA

5. J.L. Gonzalez
    81 Castano
    R.S.M, CA 92688 USA

(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 on the list.  Use a simple
    text editor such as Notepad (under "Accessories" if you
    have Windows 3.x or Windows 95) or any other editor you
    may have.  Any one will do.

(3) Post the article in at least 200 newsgroups.  There are over
    27,000, so it shouldn't be hard to find that many.  Try
    posting to as many newsgroups as you can, and the bigger the
    newsgroup is, the more people will see your message!

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 is.  If you wish
to remain anonymous, you may use a pseudonym, call yourself "The
Manager", "The Boss", "Resident", or whatever but make sure your
address is correct.

Now, here is why the investment works:

-Of each of the 200 posts I made, I received 4-6 responses.  Yes,
only about 5.  You make about $5 for each post with your name at #5.

-Each person who sent you $1 now also makes 200 additional postings
with your name at #4.  1,000 original responses x 200 new posts
each = 200,000 new posts!

-This is theoretical, but you can see how it works.  That's only with
200 posts.  Imagine if you made 500 posts, or even 1,000 posts!
 
From time to time, when you see your name no longer on the list, take
the latest posting, send out another $5, put you name at #5, and start
posting again.  Remember, 200 posts is only a guideline.  The more
you post, the more money you get!

Let's review why you should do this.  The only cost is $5, 5 stamps,
and 5 envelopes.  Anyone can afford $5 for such an effortless
investment with such spectacular returns.

Some people have asked me, "What happens if the scheme is played out
and no one sends me any money?"  Big deal, so you lose $5 - but what
are the chances of that happening?  Do you think that nobody cares
about a legal chance of making such big money as $50,000?  And for a
microscopic investment of five dollar bills?  Just think of all of
the new internet users that join the net every day!

Although a small percentage of the world is connected to the Internet,
there are millions of internet users, and millions of new net surfers
every month!  This is the greatest plus of the Internet, people all
over the world can hear you and will listen carefully if you talk
reasonably.  Everyone will take that chance!  The Internet is a giant
village where thousands of new members join each day!  The opportunity
will exist for years.  You can't lose!

Remember - read the instructions carefully, and play fairly.  That's
the only way it will work.  Get a printout so you can refer back to
this article easily.

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

Remember - honesty is the best policy.  you do not need to cheat this
idea to make money!  Besides, not playing the game fairly is illegal.
So let's be reasonable and play fairly, so we can all enjoy the
Internet gold mine.
