This is the message I read on my newsgroup and decided to give it a try.
I think if everyone is honest then this sounds like a good thing.  Please
give it a try.  I only want to add one thing to this message - Remember
to record all earnings from your income from this.  Keep very good 
records.  This money is not tax exempt and must be declared on your
Federal and State Income Tax.

The Message Reads:

 Taking 5 minutes to read what follows can change your life :

   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 wife, attorney
   and friends 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. Of course, I rejected
   the idea at  first. after a short period of  about two weeks
   ,I thought  : "I have already  heard of such things.  But on
   the Internet ?!?!? ". I decided  that even if I had to throw
   5$ into the fire, I wouldn't  mind it that much, and gave it
   a try .After all I needed a LOT more than five dollars.

   Two weeks  later, I began  receiving 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 received a
   total of $32,445!  It came from everywhere in  the world. My
   bank account has changed its "-"  into a big "+" (++++)!!!,I
   bought myself a car and things I wanted for a long time
   for my wife and kids!

   If you follow the three steps  below, there is no reason why
   the  same shouldn't  happen  to you!  This  is a  legitimate
   investment  opportunity. You  invest $5,  and you  receive a
   return on  your investment. So  does the next  investor. NOT
   ILLEGAL, NOT A CHAIN LETTER- PERFECTLY LEGITIMATE.

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

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

   1. Olivier Arcadipane
       237 rue Francois Andre
       7390 Quaregnon       BELGIUM

   2. Josef Malzer,
       Brandhof 1
       4701 Bad Schallerbach
       EUROPE - AUSTRIA

   3. Jeff Durham
       RR3 Box 263-E
       Mt. Vernon, KY  40456

   4. Brent Shelly      
       7950 East Starlight Way #237
       Scottsdale, AZ 85250

   5. Carla Cummings
       3290 Peregrine Dr.
       Sierra Vista, AZ 85635

   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 one on the list.   Use a simple text
   editor such as  Notepad,  in your   "accessories" window (If
   you have  MS-Windows),or DOS  editor.   In fact,  any editor
   will do.

   3) Post  the article to at  least 200 newsgroups.  There are
   17,000, 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 are to 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",  whatever but make
   sure your address is correct.

   Now, here is why the system works:

   -Of every  200 posts  I made, I  received 5  responses. Yes,
   only 5. You make $5 for every 200 posts with your name at #5.

   -Each person who  sent you $1 now also  makes 200 additional
   postings with your name at #4. i.e. 1000 postings. On average
   therefore, 50 people will send you  $1 with your name at #4.
   $50.

   -Your 50 new agents make 200 postings each with your name at
   #3 or  10,000 postings.  Average return  500 people  = $500.
   They make  200 postings  each with  your name  at #2=100,000
   postings=5000 return at $1 each=$5000.

   -Finally, 5,000 people  make 200 postings with  your name at
   #1 and  you get a return  of $50,000 before your  name drops
   off the list. AND THATS IF  EVERYONE DOWN THE LINE MAKES 200
   POSTINGS! Total income in one cycle=$55,000.

   From time to  time, when you see your name  no longer on the
   list,  you  take the  latest  posting  that appears  in  the
   newsgroups, and  send out another $5,  and put your  name at
   #5, and start posting again. Remember,  200 postings is only
   a guideline. the more you post, the greater the return.

   Lets review why you should do this. THE ONLY COST IS $5, AND
   5 STAMPS, AND 5 ENVELOPES.  Anyone can afford $5 for such an
   effortless investment with such SPECTACULAR RETURNS.

   Some people have said to 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
   Realize that  NOBODY cares for  the LEGAL chance  of winning
   such  a BIG  money as  50,000.00  $$$$ ????  and  all for  a
   microscopic investment of five  separate dollars? just think
   of all  of the new  Internet users that  join the  net every
   day!!!

   There are  millions of internet  users, and millions  of new
   net surfers every  month !!!  This is the  great plus of the
   Internet,  people all over the world can hear you and listen
   carefully if you  talk reasonably.  Everyone  will take that
   chance !  I agree,  If  it wasn't the  Internet,  and  was a
   small circle  of people,  the chance  wouldn't have  been so
   small.  the amount of money had to be 200 times bigger,  and
   the chances were zero.  It wouldn't succeed.

   But here, on the Internet, it is a giant village,  where new
   thousands of members join in every day ! you CAN'T lose !!!!

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

   Try to  keep a  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.

   GOOD LUCK  FOR YOU ALL, And  remember, play fair  and you'll
   win,  I don't want to mention what might happen to those who
   won't.   AND  AGAIN,SEE  YOU NEXT  TIME  WITH SOMETHING  YOU
   WANTED FOR A LONG TIME !!!
