This is a copy of a letter I received:
I am a retired Attorney, and about two years ago a man came to me with a 
letter. The letter brought to 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 reveiw 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 become 100% legal.
I was curious about this letter and my client told me how this plan works
and suggested 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 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!! Iwas 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 sent out 500 letters. Well, three months later, my earnings totaled
$2,344,178!!! 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 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 I was just as thankful that 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 by now you are curious to know the little change I suggested
in my friends original letter. Well, if you send 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 particpation of each of the 6 persons below.
This letter and the plan given within this letter are a "product"
that you have received. Thus, you will be sending $1.00 USD 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 TE POSTAL AND LOTTERY
LAWS.
NOW, PLEASE FOLLOW THESE TRIED AND TRUE STEPS TO OBTAIN THE AMOUNT 
YOU DESIRE: Immediately send $1 US 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
sevice.) Include your address. You do not need to include your name
if you don't want to. This is the key to the program!
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 you. This is PROOF that you are truely
providing a service, and should the IRS or some other government
agency question you, you can provide them with this proof!
Therefore, you will start a list of the people who send you a
dollar requesting to be added on a mailing list. Actually you'll
want to safeguard this list because it can generate even better 
responses and much more money later!
See step # 4 below.
Remove the # 1 name 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 ANY MORE BEYOND THIS POINT. If you are mailing this
letter, you may edit the reference to the Internet.
Post this letter to at least 250 newsgroups, I do 30 groups per post.
 You can simply copy the contents of of this letter and post it to 
the new3sgroups of your choice. (If you're not sure how, see my 
directions at the bottom.)
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please pay attention to the newsgroups in which you 
post. If there is and abundance of similar letters, you may want to 
seek a 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 AND INTERNATIONAL AREAS. (SPREAD THE WORD)!
Keep a copy of this letter so you can use it more than once. 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 received (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. G. Haugen
   P.O. Box 1541
   Comax, BC V9N 8A2

*    How to Re-post
****************************************************

OK. This is how I did it (Windows95/PC) Do not e-type 
this e-mail (as the post previously instructed). First 
open up an empty Notepad file. (In Windows it should 
be under the Accesories Menu.) Then put your cursor 
at the beginning of this document, hold the left mouse 
button down, drag it to the bottom and release.
Now hold the control key down and press "C" (CTRL-C) 
This will copy the highlighted text to the clipboard. 
Now get back to your Notepad file (in Windows95 it's 
down in your taskbar), put the cursor at the top of 
the Notepad file, then hold the control key down and 
press "V" (CTRL-V). This will copy the contents of the 
clipboard into your notepad file. Now you can edit the 
file. Don't forget to remove name # 1, put your name 
in at # 6 and re-number accordingly. Save this file 
(as a .txt file.) If you want to break up your sessions 
of posting, you'll always have this file to go back to. 
FOR NETSCAPE USERS:
1. Click on any newsgroup. From a newsgroup, click on 
the "TO NEWS" button, which should be in the top left 
corner of the newsgroups page. This will bring up a 
message box.
2. Fill in the subject.
3. Highlight the entire contents of your .txt file, 
do a CTRL-C to copy the document into clipboard, get 
back to the e-mail you are posting to the newsgroup 
and press CTRL-V to copy your file into the body of 
the e-mail.
4. Hit the "SEND" button in the upper left corner. 
You're done with your first one!
5. Go to another newsgroup, press "TO NEWS" button 
type in the Subject Line, press CTRL-V, press "SEND" 
That's two! Repeat as needed...

INTERNET EXPLORER USERS:
(Directions are pretty much the same, except for the 
names of the buttons.)
1. Go to newsgroups and press "POST AN ARTICLE".
2. Fill in the Subject
3. Same as # 3 above.
4. Hit the "POST" button.

*****************************************************
