>First,

>pieces of paper and on each one write: PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING

>7 days you will start getting money in the mail.

>   It is shocking. My first week I made $28. By the end of the second

>week I had over $1,000!! THe third week resulted in over $10,000! And 
>
>now after four weeks I have made nearly $42,000!!! I am laughing as I 
>
>write this because I still can't believe this. 
>
>   HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS Out of every 200 postings, lets say I only 
>
>receive 5 replies (which is very low). So that means I made $5 when my 
>
>name was #5. Hey I broke even. Now say each of those 5 people post to 
>
>200 newsgroups, now with your name at #4, which is a total of 1,000 
>
>postings, excluding your 200. At the same rate 50 people now send you
>1$.
>
>Another free $50!! These 50 people each post to 200 groups with your
>
>name at #3, thats 10,000 postings! Average return is 500 at $1 each =
>$500
>
>for you. Those people make 200 postings each which leads to $5,000. And
>
>finally 5000 people make 200 postings with YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 1. THATS 
>
>A POTENTIAL RETURN OF $50,000!!!! NOW YOUR NAME DROPS OFF THE LIST. 
>
>THIS IS THE RESULTS
>
>   IF ONLY 5 PEOPLE RESPOND TO EACH 200 POSTINGS. IF EVERYONE
>POSTED TO
>
>MORE THAN 200 WHO KNOWS WHAT THE POTENTIAL RETURN COULD BE. So
>have fun, 
>
>be honest. Remember, even if you get nothing, you only lost $5. And as
>the
>
>old saying goes..."You can't win if you don't play" While I still have
>your
>
>attention let me explain how to post to at least 200 newsgroups. 
>
>   Mind you it will only work if you follow the instructions exactly. If 
>
>you put you name on the list without sending out the money, you will not 
>
>see significant results. By sending the money you are distributing your 
>
>name to those already in the cycle who then may choose your name when
>they
