The *between the lines* version:

> I found this message on a bulletin board just as you have now.
>
> Like you I thought, this cannot be possible but 'let's give it a go'.
> Thankfully I 'gave it a go', risked a whole �6.00, it is as you read
working
> for me and returning me �6,000.00 within weeks. Try harder than me and it
> could return you � 60,000 within weeks. �6.00 to �6,000 or even � 60,000.
> "Yeah right, this must be a scam."  And of course it was, but then I
thought: "why am I not dipping my own bread in the gravy?"  and the rest as
they say is history.
> Anyway, the message said the following:
>
> 1    Send just �1.00 to each of the 6 imbeciles and address stated below.
> 2    You then place your own name and address in the bottom of this list
> below at number 6.
> 3    You pester at least 200 newsgroups with your unsolicited spam (I know
of 40,000 and
> said only about 200).
> 4    Wait for fuck all to happen after that.

> Then I invested the measly �6.00. Followed the instructions and GUESS
WHAT?
> within seven days, I started getting money in the mail! I pissed myself at
the gullibility of these people! 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 �1,000.00! In the third week I had over �10,000.00 and it's still
> growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over
> �42,000.00 and still it flows in.
>
> So how and more importantly why does this work? I promise you that if you
> follow the directions exactly, that you will start making more money than
> you thought possible (well, for me anyway) by doing something so easy.
>  In the main, it doesn't.  But it's never stopped gullible cunts with shit
for brains allowing themselves to be shafted by crooks looking for a swift
buck.

> Suggestion: read the entire message carefully! Print it out and then wipe
your arse with it.
> Follow the simple directions and watch my money come in!
>
> It's easy. It's legal, well it isn't actually.  It constitutes a chain
letter, which has not been legal these past three years - I wonder if my
local trading standards officers would like to join the scheme - And, your
investment is only �6.00 (plus postage).
>
> IMPORTANT: this is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not illegal;
and
> it is 99% no risk - it really works! If all of the following instructions
> are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends.  Asides from all
that, the world is square and the moon's made of cheese.
>
> PLEASE NOTE: please follow these directions EXACTLY, and �50,000 or more
can
> be mine, sorry, yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful
because of the
> gullibility and desperation of the participants.
>
> Please continue its success by carefully adhering to the instructions. You
> will now become part of the flim flam business. In this business your
> product is not solid and tangible, it's non-existent bollocks. You are in
the business
> of selling snake oil. Many large corporations are happy to pay big
> bucks for quality lists, though sadly not from two-bit losers like you.>
> Here are the four easy steps to success:
>
> STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each
piece
> of paper 'PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST. MY NAME IS. MY ADDRESS IS.'
> Once added to the list, each pillock will send you a new component and /
or
> money making advice to help you along the way. This advice has been passed
> down person to person and is very helpful.
>
> Now get SIX UK �1.00 coins and place ONE in-between two pieces of card.
The
> card, with EACH of the six pieces of paper so the coin will not be seen or
> felt through the envelope (to prevent thievery).
>
> Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. You should
> now have six sealed envelopes.
>
> Each containing a piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name and
> address, and a �1.00 coin. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS
IS
> ABSOLUTELY LEGAL in Botswana! You are requesting a non-existent service
and you are paying
> for it!
>
> Mail the six envelopes to the following addresses:
>
> PHIL CLARK
> 13 Collywell Bay Road
> Seaton Sluice
> Tyne and Wear
> England
>
> C D John
> 24 Hampton Court Crescent
> East Molesey
> Surrey
> KT8 9BA
>
> MATT HUDESON
> 24 Grafton Road
> Whitley Bay
> Tyne and Wear
> NE26 2NR
>
> D Mackinnon Jnr
> 8 Munro Place
> Saltcoats
> Ayrshire
> KA21 6LG
> Scotland
>
> I Carroll
> 30 Richmond Crescent
> Mossley
> Ashton-under-Lyne
> Lancashire
> OL5 9LQ
>
> D V Griffiths
> 17 Pantgwynlais
> Tongwynlais
> Cardiff
> CF15 7LS
> Wales
>
> If sending out of your country remember to use $1.00 Bills (which are
easier
> to send anyway), and International post addresses.
>
> STEP 2: Now take the number 1 name off 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.
>
> STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close
> to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least 200
> newsgroups (remember there are close to 40,000 groups). All you need is
200,
> but remember, the more you post, the more money you make! You won't get
very
> much unless you post like crazy.
>
> This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18 Sec.
1302
> & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws.
>
> Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money, you
> can use it again, and again.
>
> PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the
gullibility and desperation of the participants and by their carefully
adhering to the
> directions. Look at it this way. If you are as thick as pigshit, the
program will
> continue and the money that so many others have received will come my way.
>
> NOTE: You should keep every name and address sent to you, either on a
> computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you. This verifies
that
> you are truly providing a service (also, it might be a good idea to wrap
the
> �1 coin / $1.00 bill in paper to reduce the risk of mail theft).
>
> So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed, six
> members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer
with
> one dollar each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so that
when
> your name reaches the number 1 position you will be receiving thousands of
> dollars in CASH!!! What an opportunity for only �6.00 (�1.00 for each of
the
> first six people listed above). Send it now, add your own name to the list
> and you're in business!
>
> DIRECTIONS -  FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS
>
> Step 1: You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own
> posting. Simply put your 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 settings, you'll always have this file to go back
to.
>
> Step 4: Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for various
> newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions).
>
> Step 5: Visit these 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. You're done with your first one! Congratulations...THAT`S
> 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 (easy when there are over 40,000).
>
> That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the world within
days!
> You may eventually want to rent a PO 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 ALL THE ADDRESSES
ARE
> CORRECT.
>
> Now the WHY IT WORKS part:
>
> Out of 200 postings, say I receive only five replies (a very low example).
> So then I made �5.00 with my name at number 6 on the letter. Now, each of
> the five persons who just sent me �1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings,
each
> with my name at number 5 and only five persons respond to each of the
> original five, that is another �25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200
> MINIMUM posts with my name at number 4 and only five replies each, I will
> bring in an additional �125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and
post
> the MINIMUM 200 with my name at number 3 and only receive five replies
each,
> I will make an additional �626.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of
> those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at number 2 and
> they each only receive five replies, that just made me �3,125.00!!! Those
> 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name
> at number 1 and if still five persons per 200 newsgroups react I will
> receive �15,625,00! With an original investment of only �6.00! AMAZING!
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 �6.00 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 everyday 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.
>
> Why not post more than 200. If you get 15 responses, look at the maths.
Here
> is what you will make:
>
> at number 6      �15.00
> at number 5      �225.00
> at number 4      �3,375.00
> at number 3      �50,625.00
> at number 2      �759,375.00
> at number 1      �11,390,625.00
>
> Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really work. Send it to
> friends by e-mail and snail mail also. Post it to 1,000's of news groups
and
> bulletin boards, enjoy the results and prosper!!!!
>
> Regards and Good Luck!
