Want to make MONEY Fast?

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

	So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought 
about trying it.  I figured what have I got to lose except 5 stamps and 
5 dollars, right?

	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 leagal!

	Then I invested the measly $5...

	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 $20 to $30.  By the end of the second week I had made a 
total of $1,000! In the third week I had over 10,000 and it's still 
growing.  This is now my forth week and I have made a total of just over 
$42,000 and it's still comming in...It's certainly worth $5 and 5 
stamps.  I spent more than that on the lottery!

	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 of it as you need it.  The process is very 
simple and consists of three easy steps:

STEP 1:  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 bills 
and place one inside each of the 5 pieces of paper so the bill can't be 
seen outside the envelope (that way nobody will steal the money).  You 
should now have 5 envelopes with $1 bills, and a note with the above 
written on it, inside.  What you are doing is creating a service by 
this.  It is perfectly legal.

Mail the 5 envelopes to the following addresses:

#1  James Fenwick
    3210 Panhandle Dr
    Killeen, TX 76542

#2  Steven Roper
    86 Finch Roper
    Ball Ground, GA 30107

#3  Kent
    27 Vicar Rd
    Anfield
    Liverpool
    l6 0BW
    England
    U.K.

#4  Michael Henry
    518 West College Ave.
    Salisbury, MD 21801

#5  Chris Stone
    3820 Onyx St
    Eugene, OR 97405  

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 Newsgroups.  (I think there are about 18,000 groups).  All you 
need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make!  
Don't know HOW to postin the newsgroups?  Well, do exactly the folowing:

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 box 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 the exception of your few changes (remember to add 
your name to #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 UNTIL YOU 
SAVE IT.  (So you don't have to retype 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 newsgroup article and 
click the 'TO:NEWS' button again.  Type in your flashy subject again, 
then click on "Attachment" which is right below the 'subject box.'  
Click on attach file then find your file 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!


That's it!  You will begin recieving money from around the world within 
days! You may eventually want to rent a PO BOX due to the large amount 
of mail you recieve.  If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a 
name to use, as ling as the postman will deliver it.  ***Just make sure 
all the addresses are correct***

Now the why part:

	Out of 200 postings, say I recieve only 5 replies (a very low example).  
SO then I made $5 with my name at #5 on the letter.  Now each of the 5 
persons who sent me $1 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name 
at #4 and only 5 people respond to each of those.  That is another $25 
for me.  Now those 25 people each make the 200 posts with my name at #3 
and 5 people repond to eachof those and I get $125.  Then those 125 
people turn around and make the 200 posts with my name at #2 and I make 
$626!  OK now here's the fun part, each of those 625 people post the 200 
newsgroups with my name at #1 and I make $3,125!  With an original 
investment of only $5!  5 responses is actually a very low number of 
responses, 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
AT #4 ... $225
AT #3 ... $3,375
AT #2 ... $50,625
AT #1 ... $759,375

	When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest 
posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $5 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 are joing 
the internet and reading these articles everyday, just like you are now.  
So you can afford $5 and 5 stamps and see if it works.  

Please remember to declare your extra income.  Thanks again.
