You gotta br crazy! How on earth do you think you can turn $5 into 
thousands? Well thats what I was wondering too until I came across 
thisletter.First of all, IT'S PERFECTLY LEGAL! (Call 1-800-725-2161) 
if you haveany questions about the oppertunity to make thousands of 
dollars.Well here it goes:A little while back, I was browsing theses 
newsgroups, just like you arenow, and came across an article similar 
to this one that said you couldmake several thousands of dollars 
within weeks with only an investmentof $5.00! I thought "Yeah, right, 
this must be some kind of joke," butlike most of us I was curious, 
so I kept reading. Anyway, it said thatyou send $1.00 to each of 
the five names and addresses stated in thearticle. You then place 
your own name and address in the bottom of the list at number 5, 
and post the article to at least 200 newsgroups. No catch. 
That was it.I knew that that was the opportunity I had waited for 
for a long time. Ithought that it was about time that the money 
of the world gets into the right hands! OURS, right? I never had a 
dought that this would  really work, and even if it didn't, what 
had I lost? $5.00 and five stamps.Within seven days I started getting 
money in the mail. I was shocked. I figured it would end soon, but the 
money kept coming in. In my firstweek I made about $20.00 - $30.00. 
By the end of the second week I had made over $1,000.00. In the third 
week I had over 10,000.00, and it is still growing.Let me tell you how 
this works, but first make sure and print a copy ofthis letter to refer 
to. The process is three easy steps.

STEP #1: Get 5 seperate pieces of 
paper and write the following on eachpiece 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 that thebill will not be 
seen through the envelope to prevent thievery. Nextplace one paper in 
each of the 5 envelopes and seal them. You should nowhave 5 sealed 
envelopes. What you are doing is creating a service by this. 
IT IS PERFECTLY LEGAL!!!Mail the 5 envelopes to the following 
adresses:

#1  Robert Jezil    
114 Jefferson Ave.    
Slidell, LA 70460

#2  Phil Walther Jr.    
9495 Annapolis Lane North    
Maple Grove, MN 55369

#3  C. E. Burkman    
170 University Ave. W    
Suite 12-129    
Waterloo, Ontario    
N2L 3E9

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

#5  John P. Darnes    
P.O. Box 6535    
Richmond, Va. 23230

STEP #2: Now take the number one name off the list that you see above,
move the other names up (2 becomes 1 and 3 becomes 2 ect...) and your 
name as number 5.

STEP #3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as 
close to original as possible. Now post your article to at least 
200 newsgroups. 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 upper left corner of the newsgroup page. This will bring up 
a message box.

2) Fill in the SUBJECT with a flashy title to catch the eye!!!

3) Now go to the message part of the box and retype this letter.
Remember to add your name as number 5 and move the rest up!!!

4) When your done typing the entire letter, click on 'FILE' 
above the send button. Then 'SAVE AS'... DO NOT SEND YOUR ARTICLE 
UNTIL YOU HAVESAVED IT!!!

5) Now that you have saved your article, go ahead and send your 
firstcopy! Click the 'SEND' button in the top left corner.

6) This is where you post all 200! OK, go to any newsgroup article 
andclick 'TO NEWS' button again. Type in your flashy subject in 
the'SUBJECT BOX' then go to the message box and place your cursor here.
