 WANT TO MAKE A FORTUNE QUICK & EASY??????
HOW MUCH HAVE YOU SPENT ON THE LOTTERY WITH NO RETURN, BUT YOU
STILL DO IT?
THIS CAN MAKE YOU SOME MONEY, AND IT DOES REALLY WORK!!!
Before you click away saying these things don�t work, ask yourself this,
�how
many people do I know who have actually tried one of these systems out
before
dismissing them out of hand� ? Probably none! Please read my story and judge
for yourself the amount of effot involved compared to the potential rewards.
A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, and
came across an article similar to this. It said you could make thousands of
dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of
$7.00! So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam!" But, like most of
us, I
was curious, so I kept on reading. Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to
each of the 7 names and addresses stated in the article. You then place your
own
name and address in the bottom of the list at #7, and post the article in at
least
200 newsgroups. (There are thousands!!!) No catch, that was it. So after
thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying
it . I
figured what have I got to lose except 7 stamps and $7.00, right? Like most
of
us, I was a little sceptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of
it all. So
I checked it out with the U. S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they
confirmed
that it is indeed legal!! Then I invested the measly $7.00. Well GUESS WHAT�
Within 7 days, I started to get money in the mail! I was shocked, to say the
least! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my
first
week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week, I had made a total
of over $1000.00! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it is still
growing.
This is now my 4th week and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and
it
is still coming in, rapidly!! It is certainly worth $7.00 and 7 stamps, I
have spent
more than that on the lottery!!
Let me tell you how this works, and just why it works�also, make sure that
you
print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it
as you
need it.
STEP 1. Get 7 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece
of
paper
"PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Write your name and address on all 7
sheets of paper.
STEP 2. Get 7 U. S. one dollar bills and place one inside each piece of
paper, so
that the bill will not be seen through the envelope to prevent thievery.
STEP 3. Place one paper in each of the 7 envelopes and seal them. You should
now have 7 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above
phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00 bill.
What you are doing is creating a service by this. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL!
Mail the 7 envelopes to the following addresses:
#1 Paul Riley 1637 Hering Ave., Bronx, NY 10461
#2 Marcee Jones 5010 39th Ave., South Seattle, WA 98118
#3 Wendy Chavez 3517 Rolling Green Dr. #1921, Abilene, TX 79606
#4 Stephanie Saville 13015 Worthington, Sugar Land, TX
77478
#5 Aly Galal 4 Phillip Hanna, Heliopolis, Cairo, Egypt 11341
#6 Adrian Foto - Tennyson 80, Polanco, Mexico City, Mexico
11560
#7 J Summerfield, 49 Marine Parade, Leigh on Sea, Essex, SS9 2NB England
STEP 4. Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, and move the
other names up 1. (7 becomes 6, 6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc�) and add
YOUR NAME to the list as # 7.
STEP 5. Change anything that you need to, but try to keep
this article as close to original as possible. Now, post your amended
article to at
least 200 news groups. ( I think there are close to 24,000 groups) All you
need
are 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make!!
DIRECTIONS - HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS
STEP 1 You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting.
Simply put the cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your cursor
to the bottom of this document, and select "copy" from the edit menu. This
will
copy the entire letter into the computer's memory.
STEP 2 Open a blank "notepad file" and place your cursor at the top of the
blank
page. From the edit menu, select "paste". This will paste a copy of the
letter into
Notepad so that you can add your name to the list.
STEP 3. Save your new Notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your
postings
in different sittings, you'll always have this file to go back to.
STEP 4. Use Netscape or Internet Explorer and try searching for various
Newsgroups (online forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions, etc.)
STEP 5. Visit this message boards and post this article as a new message by
highlighting the text of this letter and selecting "paste" from the edit
menu.
Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they
scroll
through the list of postings in a particular group, click the post message
button.
And you have just finished the first one.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THAT IS IT!!!! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post
away,
after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each
newsgroup!!
*****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
will 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 THAT ALL 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 $6.00 with my name at #7 on the letter. Now, each
of
the 6 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each
with my name at #6 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5,
that is
another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my
name at #5 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00!!
Now
those 125 persons turn around and make the MINIMUM 200 postings with my
name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will make an additional $626.00!
Now, here is the fun part���..each of those 625 persons post the 200, and
that
just made me $3,125.00!!! And so on������. The numbers get larger as your
name gets to the top of the list!!!
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! With an original investment of only $7.00!!!
When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in
the
newsgroups, and send out another $7.00 to the names on the list, putting
your
name at #7 again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is, do you
realise 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
$7.00 and see if it really works???? I think so ���..People have said, "what
if
the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So what!
What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest
users
and new honest people who are joining the Internet and newsgroups every day
and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new
users,
every day with thousands of those joining the actual Internet. Remember,
play
FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this plan will work.
