-- A little while back, I was browsing these news groups, and
 came across an article similar to this. It said that you could
 make thousands of dollars with in weeks with only an initial
 investment of $5.00! So I thought, "Bullshit, this must be
 a scam", but like you, I was curious, so I kept reading.
 Anyway, it said that you should send $1.00 to each of the
 5 names and addresses 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 news groups (There are
 thousands). No catch, that was it.
 So after thinking it over, I figured what have I got to lose
 except 5 stamps and $5.00, right? Like most of us I am little
 skeptical and slightly 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!
 
 So now I'm conducting my latest experiment; does this shit really
 pay off? I don't know yet, it's only been two days since I invested
 the measly $5.00. I figured that I usually spend the same amount of
 money each day on my way to work, so why not spend it on something
 other than that usual coke, smoke, and doughnut at the quickie mart?
 What's five bucks amount to anyway? I mean, hell, five bucks
 won't pay for my tuition for school or my rent, but if 100 people
 send me a buck, well.. That's a hundred bucks, and who can't use an
 extra 100 bucks. So I'll make you a deal, if you send me, a buck, and
 it's the only one I get, I'll send it back to you, and I might even
 throw in a stamp for your efforts. :)
 
 So, Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, Why
 people say it works....also, make sure you print a copy of this
 article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as
 you need it. The process is very simple and consists of 3
 easy steps:
 
 STEP 1: Get 5 separate 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 PREFECTLY
 LEGAL!
 
  Mail the 5 envelopes to the following addresses:
 
  #1 Matthew Taylor
     46 Bruswick Square
     Basement Flat
     Hove
     E.Sussex
     BN3 1EE
     England 
     UK
  #2  D. Pettie
     3469 Roxton Avenue
      Port Coquitlam B.C.
     V3B 3H6

  #3  Peadar Grealish
     S�dra Kyrkogatan 2A
     652 24, Karlstad
     Sweden


  #4 Paul McDaid
      3527 Federal Way #67
      Boise ID.  83705 
    
  #5 Car Domeno
       Benjam�n de Tudela 33,Ent G-H
       31008 Pamplona,Spain
  
 
  STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see
  above, move the other names up ( 5 becomes 4, 4 becomes 3,
  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 original as possible. Now, post your
  amended article to at least 200 news groups. (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 news groups? Well do exactly
  the following:
 
  FOR NETSCAPE USERS,
 

     1) Click on any news group, like normal. Then click on
 "To News', which is in the top left corner of the news group
 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 your done typing in the WHOLE letter, click on
 'FILE' above the send button. Then, 'SAVE AS..' DO NOT SEND
 YOUR ARTICLE UNTILL YOU SAVE IT. (so you don't have to type
 this 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 where you post all 200! OK, go to ANY
 news group 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!!
 
  IF YOU'RE USING 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.
 
  NEXT
     Go to the news groups and press 'POST AN ARTICLE' type
 in your flashy subject and click the large window below.
 Press 'CTRL' and 'V' and the 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 news group is 'CTRL' and 'V' and press 'POST' . It's
 that easy!!
 
  THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different
 news groups and post away, after you get the hang of it ,
 it will take about 30 seconds for each news group!
 **REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE
 MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF
 200**
 
  That's it! You will begin recieving money from around the
 world within day's! You may eventually want to rent a
 P.O Box due to the large amount of mail you receive. If you
 wish to stay anonymous, you con invent a name to use, as
 long as the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL
 THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.**
 
  Now the WHY part:
 
     Out of 200 postings, say I receive 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 original 5,
 that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make
 200 MINIMUM posts 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 200with my name at
 #2 and only receive 5 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 #1 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made
 me $3,125.00!!! With a original investment of only $5.00!
 AMAZING! And as I said 5 responses is actually VERY LOW!
 Average is probable 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 news groups, and send out another
 $5.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 5
 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 $5.00
 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 news groups every day

 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 news groups 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 deceive 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...

What is it about a beautiful sunny afternoon, with the birds singing
and the wind rustling through the leaves, that makes you want to get
drunk?

And after you're real drunk, maybe go down to the public park and
stagger around and ask people for money, and then lay down and go to
sleep.
