> GREAT WAY TO MAKE MONEY-READ THIS!!!!!!
>
> HOW TO TURN $6 INTO $6,000!!!!!!
> READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE!
>
>  I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while
back, I
> was browsing through 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  $6.00! So I thought, Yeah right,
this
> must be a scam, but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading.
Anyway,
> it said that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in
the
> article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of the
list at
> #6, 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 6
> stamps and $6.00, right? Then I invested the measly $6.00.
>
> Well GUESS WHAT!!...Within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I
was
> shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in.
In my
> first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had made
a
> total of over $1,000.00! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it's
still
> growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over
> $42,000.00 and it's still coming in rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00,
and 6
> stamps, I have 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. I promise you that if you follow the directions
> exactly, that you will start making more money than you thought possible
by
> doing something so easy!
> Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (Print it out or download
it.)
> Follow the simple directions and watch the money comes in!  It's easy.
It's
> legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus postage)
>
> IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not illegal;
and it
> is virtually no risk - it really works!!!! If all of the following
instructions
> are adhered to, you will receive     extraordinary dividends.
>
> PLEASE NOTE:
> Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be yours
in 20
> to 60 days. This program remains successful because of the honesty and
> integrity of the participants. Please continue its success by carefully
> adhering to the instructions.        You will now become part of the Mail
Order
> business. In this business your product is not solid and tangible. It's a
> service. You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large
> corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the
money
> made from the mailing lists is secondary to the income, which is made from
> people like you and me asking to be included in that list.
>
> Here are the 4 easy steps to success:
>
> STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on
each
> piece of paper; PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST.
>
>  Now get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 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. 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 6
> envelopes to the following addresses:
>
>        #1) Joshua A. Goff
>              RT. 1 Box 406
>              Keysville, VA 23947
>        #2) Jeff Millan
>              1113 N. 19 �
>              McAllen,TX 78501
>        #3) R. Overton
>              P.O. Box 18818
>              So. Lake Tahoe, CA 96151
>        #4) NICK DEVINCK
>              HENNEPSTRAAT 20.
>              8400 OOSTENDE  /  BELGIUM
>        #5) Anthony Savana
>              9550 Norborne
>              Redford, Mi 48239
>        #6) Roy Montegomery
>             P.o Box 14784
>             Manhatton , NY66574
>
>  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 close
to
> original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least 200
> newsgroups. (I think there are close to 24,000 groups) All you need is
200, but
> remember, the more you post, the more money you make!  This is perfectly
legal!
> If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal
> lottery laws.
> Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money, you
can
> use it again, and again.
>
> PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the
honesty and
> integrity of the participants and by their carefully adhering to the
> directions. Look at it this way. If you are of integrity, the program will
> continue and the money that so many        others have received will come
your
> way.
>
> NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you, either on
a
> computer or hard copy and keeps the notes people send you.  This VERIFIES
that
> you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might be a good idea to wrap
the
> $1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of 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 dollar
each.
> Your name will move up the list geometrically so that when your name
reaches
> the #1 position you will be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What
an
> opportunity for only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six people listed
> above) Send it now, adds your own name to the list and you're in business!
>
> --DIRECTIONS --- FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS----       Step 1) You do
not
> need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put your
> cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your cursor to the bottom
of
> this document, and select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the
entire
> letter into the computer's memory.
>
> Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top of
the
> blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of
the
> letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the list.
>
> Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your
> postings in different settings, you'll always have this file to go back
to.
>
> Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for various
> newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.)
>
> Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message
by
> highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit
menu.
> Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they
scroll
> through the list of postings in a particular group, click the post message
> button. You're done with your first one! Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All
you
> have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get
the
> hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup!
>
> **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 receiving money from around the world within
days!
> You may eventually want to rent a P.O.Box due to the large amount of mail
you
> will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can 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 #6 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 #5 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
> #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00! Now,
those
> 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 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 #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me
$3,125.00!!!
> Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with
my
> name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive
> $15,625,00! With an original        investment of only $6.00! AMAZING!
When
> your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in
the
> newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your
name
> at number 6 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 $6.00 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 newsgroups everyday 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 really      work.
