> Dear Friend,
> Greetings! I am a retired Attorney, and about two years ago a man came
> to me with a letter. The letter he brought me is basically the letter
> in your hands. He asked me to verify the fact that this letter was
> legal. I told him that I would review it and get back to him. When I
> first read the letter my new client brought me I thought it was some
> off-the-wall idea to make money However, a week and-a-half later we met
> in my office to discuss the issue. I told him the letter he originally
> brought to me was not 100% legal. I suggested a few changes with
> which the letter would be 100% legal.
>
> I was curious about this letter, and my client told me how this plan
> works and suggested that I give it a try. I thought it was a long
> shot and would be a waste of time, so I decided against participating.
> However, before my client left, I asked him to keep me updated of his
> results. About two months later he called me to tell me he had received
> over $800,000 in cash!! I didn't believe him, so he suggested that I
> try this idea and find out for myself. I thought about it for a couple
> of days and decided that I didn't really have anything to lose, so I
> asked my client for a copy of the letter. I followed the instructions
> exactly, sent out 200 copies, and sure enough, the money started
> arriving! It came slowly at first, but after 3 weeks, I was getting
> more mail than I could open in a day! The money stopped coming after
> about three months. I kept a precise record of my earnings, and they
> totaled $968,498.00!!
>
> I was earning a good living as a lawyer, but anyone in the legal
> profession, or even anyone who owns their own business will tell you,
> there is a lot of stress that comes with the job. I told myself that if
> things worked out, I would retire from my job and travel. I decided to
> try the letter again, but this time I sent out 500 letters. Well, three
> months later, my earnings totaled $2,344,178.00!!! I just could not
> believe it. I met with my former client (and now my friend) for lunch
> to find out how it worked. He told me there are quite a few similar
> letters going around. What made THIS ONE DIFFERENT WAS THE FACT THAT 6
> ADDRESSES APPEAR ON THE LIST, AND NOT 5 LIKE MOST OF THE OTHERS. This
> fact alone results in your name being on far more returns. Of course I
> was thankful that he had shown this plan to me, but he was just as
> thankful that I had suggested the changes to ensure that this plan was
> legal since most people don't want to risk doing something illegal.
>
> I'll bet that by now you are curious to know the little change I
> suggested in my friend's original letter. Well, if you sent a letter
> like this out, to be legal you must actually sell a product or service
> if you expect to receive a dollar. I told my friend that anyone sending
> a dollar back to him must receive something in return. You have
> received this letter due to the participation of each of the 6 persons
> given below. This letter and the plan given within this letter are a
> "product" that you have received. Thus, you will be sending $1.00 to
> each of the 6 persons given below in exchange for receiving this letter
> and for asking them to provide the "service" of adding you on their
> mailing list.
> THIS IS A SERVICE AND IS A 100% LEGAL BUSINESS
> OPPORTUNITY WHICH IS COVERED IN TITLE 18, SECTION 1302 AND 1342 OF THE POSTAL AND LOTTERY LAWS.
___________________________________________________________________

> NOW, PLEASE FOLLOW THESE TRIED AND TRUE STEPS TO OBTAIN THE AMOUNT YOU DESIRE:
>1 Immediately send a $1 dollar bill to each of the 6 people on the list
> below. Wrap this dollar in a note with the words: "Please put me on
> your mailing list." (Remember, in this way, you're not just sending a
> dollar to someone; you're paying for a legitimate service.) Include your
> address. You do not need to include your name. This is the key to the
> program! Also, let each person know what number they are in your letter
> so he/she knows which cycle he is receiving the $1.00 from. Make sure
> that you retain EVERY name and/or address sent to you, either on
> computer or hard copy, but do not discard the names and notes that
> people send to you. This is PROOF that you are truly providing a
> service, and should the I.R.S. or some other government agency question
> you, you can provide them with this proof! Therefore, you will start a
> list of all the people who send you a dollar requesting to be added on a
> mailing list. Actually, you will want to safeguard this list because it
> can generate even better responses and much more money later! See step
> #4 below.
>2 Remove the name next to the #1 on the list, and move the rest of the
> names up one position. Then place your name in the #6 spot. Thus, #6
> becomes #5, #4 becomes #3, etc., and YOU will be #6 on the list. DO NOT
> EDIT THIS LETTER ANYMORE BEYOND THIS POINT. When you are mailing this
> letter, you may edit the references to the Internet.
>3 Post this letter in at least 250 newsgroups, I do 5 groups per post.
> You can simply copy the contents of this letter and paste it to the
> newsgroups of your choice.
> IMPORTANT NOTE: Please pay attention to the newsgroups in which you
> post. If there is an abundance of similar letters, you may want to seek
> another newsgroup. Thus, pay respect to the harmony of the newsgroup
> and use common sense. There are plenty of newsgroups on the Internet.
> (I think there are close to 18,000 of them.) ALSO, PLEASE POST IN
> APPROPRIATE GROUPS AND SPREAD YOUR POSTINGS OVER MANY DIFFERENT
> LOCAL & INTERNATIONAL AREAS (SPREAD THE WORD)!
>
> For added success, you can also mail this letter as well, in addition to
> posting in newsgroups. Order 200 (or more) names from a mailing list
> company. Two that have been most effective for these names are:
>
> S.E. Mailing List Advon Distributors
> P. O. Box 15061 P. O. Box B-11
> Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33318S helly, ID 83274
> (954) 742-9519 (800) 992-3866
>4 Keep a copy of this letter so you can use it a second time. Also
> keep EACH AND EVERY NAME AND ADDRESS SENT TO YOU as instructed in #1.
> Then, send out more copies in about 6 months, but mail it to the
> addresses you receive (your new mailing list) with each dollar! It will
> work again, only much better!
>
> Here are the addresses that you must send a dollar to with your slip of
> paper requesting placement on their mailing list, as instructed above:
>
> 1. M. Payne, P.O. Box 1089, Campton, NH 03223
> 2. J. Ryan, P.O. Box 18, Watervilley Valley, NH 03215
> 3. Sam Michaels, P.O. Box 286, Warren, OH 44482
>4. P. Syms, 14 Wheaton Grove, Scarborough, Ontario, M1J 3L5
> 5. N. Sesh, 19745 Northampton Drive, Saratoga, CA 95070
6. Greg Thompson 11833 E Idaho Dr Aurora Co 80012
> ***THIS PLAN WILL NOT WORK UNLESS YOU SEND $1.00 TO EACH OF THE ABOVE PERSONS AS DIRECTED.
> How do the numbers work for potential income earnings?
> Assume for the sake of example that you get a 7.5% return rate. This is very
> conservative, my first attempt was about 9.5%, and my second was over> 11%.
>
> 1. You send out 250 letters, and 18 people (250 x 7.5% = 18) will send you
> $1 each. $18.00
>
> 2. Those 18 send out 250 letters each, and 337 people (18 x 250 = 4,500
x 7.5% = 337) send you $1 each.
$337.00
>
> 3. Those 337 send out 250 letters each (337 x 250 = 84,250 x 7.5% = 6,318),
and 6,318 people send you $1 each.
$6,318.00
>
> 4. Those 6,318 send out 250 letters each (6,318 x 50 = 1,579,500 x 7.5% =
118,462), and 118,462 people send you $1 each.
$118,462.00
> 5. Those 118,462 send out 250 letters each (118,462 x 250 = 29,615,500 x 7.5% =
2,221,162), and 2,221,162 people send you $1 each.
$2,221,162.00.
ADD 1 - 5 AND TOTAL AT $ 2,346,297.50
ALL THIS IS AT A 7.5% RETURN ON YOUR LETTERS. THAT'S 18 REPLIES ON
YOUR ORIGINAL 250 POSTINGS.
> Some valuable, general suggestions:
>1. DO NOT TRY AND CHEAT THIS PROCESS. IF YOU DO, YOU WILL NOT
> ACHIEVE THE DESIRED RESULTS.
>2. The Internet is a very effective medium for exposing this vehicle.
> However, pay attention to newsgroups, and avoid posting this letter in
> the newsgroups where there are a lot of upset people complaining about
> "spamming." In another words, we are asking that you use common sense,
> and have courtesy to others on the Internet. This may be opposite of
> what many other similar postings may be saying. Keep in mind that there
> are plenty of people out there who believe and want this as much as you do.
>3. Keep a positive frame of mind while engaging in this process, and
> you will receive the amount of money you desire.
>4. In order to achieve maximum results DO NOT CHANGE THE CONTENTS OF
> THIS LETTER. However, you may edit applicable portions relating to
> Internet when sending this letter via regular mail
>5. When the money begins to arrive, it is a good gesture to give 10% or
> more to your church or favorite charity with a joyful spirit.
>
> The Internet has proved to be a very quick and effective means to reach
> millions of people with your message. This message exemplifies a
> UNIVERSAL LAW OF ABUNDANCE that there is plenty to go around for
> everyone. You will not be hurting anyone and will be creating the
> opportunity for those who read your message to benefit -- just as you
> will -- from the abundance that exits in this universe.
