$50,000 for investing only $5.00 within 2 MONTHS?????
=====================================================

You gotta be crazy! How on earth do you think you can earn 50 grand for
investing a lousy 5 bucks? Well, that's what I was wondering, too until
I came across this letter.

First of all, IT'S PERFECTLY LEGAL! (call 1-800-725-2161) if you have
any questions about the following opportunity to make $50,000 and that
probably within LESS THAN TWO MONTHS!

Well, here it goes:
A little while back, I was browsing these newsgroups, just like you are
now, and came across and article similar to this that saidyou could make
thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of
$5.00! So I thought, "Yeah, right, this must be a joke," but like most
of us I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it is said that you send
$1.00 to each of the 5 names and address stated in the article.  You
then place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at #5,
and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups.  (There are thousands) 
No catch, that was it.  

I knew that that was the opportunity I had waited for for a long time. 
I thought it was about time that the money of the world gets into the
right hands! OURS, right? I never had a doubt that this thing would
actually work and even if it didn't, what were 5 stamps and $5.00 for a
try?

As I mentioned before, like most of us I was a little skeptical 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!

Now, that's how your story will sound, if you too participate:

Well GUESS WHAT!!...within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail!
I was shocked! I still figured it would end soon, and didn't give it
another thought. But the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I
made about $30.00.  By the end of the second week I had made a total of
over $1,000!!!!!! In the third week I had over $10,000 and it's still
growing.  This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just
over $42,000 and it's still comming in.......

Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it
works....also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you
can get the information off it as you need it. The process is very
simple and consists of 3 easy steps:

STEP1: Get 5 seperate pieces of paper and write the following on each
piece of paper"PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST."  Now get 5 $1.00
bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 5 pieces of paper so the bill 
will not be seen through the envelope to prevent thievery. Next, place
one paper in each of the 5 envelopes and seal them. You should now have
5 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase
and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service by this. 
THIS IS PERFECLY LEGAL!

Mail the 5 envelopes to the following addresses:

#1 A. Bailey
   1207 Reeves Road
   Plainfield, IN 46168

#2 J. Martin
   P.O. Box 2292
   Reston, Va. 20190

#3 G. Schwedes
   P.O. Box 53
   Middletown NJ 07748

#4 C.M. Lueken
   23914 SE 243rd St.
   Maple Valley, WA 98038

#5 J. B. Spangler
   P.O. Box 201
   Norwalk, IA 50211

STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the
other names up (2 becomes 1, 3 becomes 2, etc...) and add YOUR Name as
number 5 on the list.  

STEP 3: Change anything you need to but try to keep this article as
close to origonal as possible. Now, post your amended article to at
least 200 newsgroups. (I think there is close to 18,000 groups) All you
need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make!

Don't know how to post in the newsgroups? Well do exactly the following: 

FOR NETSCAPE USERS:
1) Click on any newsgroup, like normal. Then click on "To News", which
is in the top left corner of the newsgroup page. This will bring up a
message box.

2) Fill in the SUBJECT with a flashy title, like the one I used,
something to catch the eye!!!

3) now go to the message part of the box and retype this letter exactly
as it is here, with exception of your few changes. (Remember to add your
name to number 5 and move the rest up)

4) When you're done typing in the WHOLE letter, click on 'FILE' above
the send button. Then 'SAVE AS...' DO NOT SEND THE ARTICLE UNTIL YOU
HAVE SAVED IT. ( so you don't have to type it 200 times.)

5) Now that you have saved the letter , go ahead and send your first
copy! (click the 'SEND' button in the top left corner)

6) This is how you post all 200! OK, go to ANY newsgroup article and
click the 'TO NEWS' button again. Type in your flashy subject in the
'SUBJECT BOX', then go to the message and place your cursor here. Now
click on 'ATTACHMENT' which is right below the 'SUBJECT BOX'. Click on
attach file then find your letter wherever you saved it.  Click once on
your file then click 'OPEN' then click 'OK'.  If you did this right, you
should see your filename in the 'ATTACHMENT BOX' and it will be shaded.

NOW POST AWAY!

FOR INTERNET EXPLORER:
It's just as easy, holding down the left mouse button, highlight this
entire article, then press the 'CTRL' key and 'C' key at the same time
to copy this article. Then print the article for your records to have
the names of those you will be sending $1.00 to.

Go to the newsgroups and press 'POST AN ARTICLE' type in your flashy
subject and click the large window below. Press 'CTRL' and 'V' and teh
article will appear in the message window. **BE SURE TO MAKE YOUR
ADDRESS CHANGES TO THE 5 NAMES.** Now re-highlight the article and
re-copy it so you have the changes.... then all you have to do for each
newsgroup is 'CTRL' and 'V' and press 'POST'. It's that easy!! THAT'S
IT! All you have to do is jump t 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**

**If these instructions are too complex to follow, try Forte's "Free
Agent." It is freeware for uncomercial use. To download it, simply use a
search utility and type "Forte Free Agent". You should be able to find
it.**

That's it! You will begin recieving money from around the world within
days! You may eventualy want to rent a P.O. Box due to the large amount
of mail you recieve. If youi wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a
name to use, as long as the post man will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE
ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.**

Now the WHY part:

This entire principle works because it is in a format of an upside down
tree with thousands of branches. Everyone below you will see to it that
the tree continues because they want to get money. Those below them will
continue because THEY want to get the cash etc.

Out of 200 postings, say I recieve only 5 replies (a very low example).
So then I made $5.00 with my name at #5 on the letter. Now, each of the
5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each
with my name at #4 and only 5 persons respond to each of the origonal 5,
that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM
postings with my name at #3 and only 5 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 #2 and only recieve 5 replies each, I will
make and additional $625.00! OK, now here's the fun part, each of those
625 persons post a MINIMUM of 200 with my name at #1 and they each only
recieve 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!! With an origonal
investment of only $5.00!

AMAZING! And as I said 5 responses is actualy VERY LOW! Average is
probably 20 to 30! so lets put those figures at just 15 responses per
person. Here is what you will make:

at #5 $15.00
at #4 $225.00
at #3 $3,375.00
at #2 $50,625.00
at #1 $759,375.00

When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest
posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $5.00 to names on the
list, putting your name at #5 and start posting again. The thing  to
remember is that thousands of people all over the world are joining the
Internet and reading these aticles everyday, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! And
this will go on and on and on and on.... get the picture? Well, there's
5,000,000,000 people on the world and most of them will eventualy end up
being hooked into the internet, so there are virtually unlimited
resources. Of course this will work the best at the very beginning so
the faster you post, the better for YOU!

So can you afford $5.00 and see of 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. Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY
and this will work. You just have to be honest. Make sure you print this
article out RIGHT NOW, also. Try to keep a list of everyone that sends
you money and always keep an eye on the newsgroups to make sure everyone
is playing fairly.

Remember, HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY. You don't need to cheat the basic
idea to make the money!!

GOOD LUCK to all and please play fairly and reap the huge rewards from
this, which is tons of extra CASH. **By the way, if you try to decieve
people by posting the messages with your name in the list and not
sending the money to the rest of the people already on the list, you
will not get as much. Someone I talked to knew someone who did that and
he only made about $150.00, and that's after seven or eight weeks! Then
he sent the 5 $1.00 bills, people added him to their lists, and in 4-5
weeks he had over $10k. This is the fairest and most honest way I have
ever seen to share the wealth of the world without costing anything but
our time!!! You also may want to buy mailing and e-mail lists for future
dollars.

Please remember to declare your extra income.  Thanks once again...
