can

quality

> STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper write the following on each piece
of
> paper
> "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 6 US 1 dollar bills and
place
> ONE inside EACH of the six pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen
> through the envelope to prevent thievery.
> Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. MAKE SURE
> THERE ARE ENOUGH STAMPS ON YOUR ENVELOPES. You should now have 6 sealed
> envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name
> and address and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service.
THIS
> IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are
> paying for it! 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!!!!! Mail the six envelopes to the following addresses.
>
> #1)  B. M. Nsubuga
> 4380 Main St.
> Amherst, NY 14226
>
> #2) Matt Snotgrab
> 2115 S. Osage
> Bartlesville, KO 74003
>
> #3) Mike Gordon
> 408 South Maple St.
> Winchester, KY 40391

> #4) Joel Longley
> 55 3th Avenue
> LaSalle, Quebec I H8 U2

> #5) Amanda Judy
> 10061 Diane 301
> Romulan, MI 48174
>
> #6) El'Anya  Nightingale
> P.O. Box 69
> Stoned Ridge, NY 12484
>
> STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the
other
> names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc.) and add YOUR name as number 6 on
> the list. STEP 3:
> Change anything you need to but try to keep this article as original as
> possible. Now
> post your amended article to at least 200 news groups. ( I think there are
> 24,000 groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post , the
> more money you make!** EVERYBODY AROUND THE WORLD CAN DO THIS BUT REMEMBER
> TO PUT ENOUGH STAMPS ON YOUR ENVELOPES!!!!** This is perfectly legal! If
you
> have any doubts, refer to title 18 sec. 1302 & 1341 of the postal lottery

money,

have
> received will come your way. NOTE: You may want to retain every name and
> address sent to you, on either a computer or a hard copy and keep the
notes
> people sent you. This verifies that you are truly providing a service.
> (Remember to wrap the $1 bill in the note to prevent mail theft.) So, as
> each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed, six members
> will be reimbursed for their participation as a list developer with one

your

postings,
> each with my name at #5 and only 5 people respond to the original 5
people.

> Now, those 125 people post the MINIMUM 200 postings with my name at #3 and

> Ok, now here's the fun part each of those 625 people post a MINIMUM 200
with

> AMAZING!!!! .
