>STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each

>THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL!!

>Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:

>STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the

>STEP 3: Change anything you need to. Now, post your amended article to at

>DIRECTIONS - 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
>click and hold down your mouse button. While continuing to hold down the
>mouse button, drag your cursor to the bottom of this document and over to
>just after the last character, and release the mouse button. At this
>point,the entire letter should be highlighted. Then, from the 'edit' pull
>down
>menu at the top of your screen, select 'copy'. This will copy the entire
>letter into the computers memory
>
>Step 2: Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top
>of the blank page. From the 'edit' pull down menu select 'paste'. This
>will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name
>to the list. Remember to eliminate the #1 position, move everyone up a
>spot(re-number everyone else), and add yourself in as #6.
>
>Step 3: Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do
>your postings in different sittings, you'll always have this file to go
>back to.
>
>
>
>FOR NETSCAPE USERS
>
>
>
>Step 4: Within the Netscape program, go to the pull-down window
>entitled 'Window,' select 'NetscapeNews.' Then from the pull down menu
>'Options,' select 'Show all Newsgroups.' After a few moments a list of all
>the newsgroups on your server will show up. Click on any newsgroup you
>desire. From within this newsgroup, click on the 'TO NEWS' button, which
>should be in the top left corner of the newsgroups page. This will bring
>upa message box.
>
>Step 5: Fill in the subject. This will be the header that everyone
>sees as they scroll through the list of postings in the particular
>group.
>
>Step 6: Highlight the entire contents of your .txt file and copy them
>using the same techniques as before. Go back to the newsgroup 'TO NEWS'
>posting you are creating and paste the letter into the body of your
>posting.
>
>Step 7: Hit the 'Send' button in the upper left corner. You're done
>with your first one! Congratulations ...
>
>
>
>INTERNET EXPLORER USERS
>
>
>
>Step 4: Go to newsgroups and select 'Post an Article.'
>
>Step 5: Fill in the subject.
>
>Step 6: Same as #6 above.
>
>Step 7: Hit the 'Post' button.
>
>
>
>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 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 postings with my
>name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will ring 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 $3125.00!! Those 3125 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!! And as I said 5 responses is
>actually VERY LOW! Average is probably between 20 and 30! So let's put
>those figures at just 15 responses per person. Here is what you will make:
>
>At #6: $15.00
>At #5: $225.00
>At #4: $3,375.00
>At # 3: $50,625.00
>At #2: $759,375.00
>At #1: $11,390,625.00
>
>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, (that's what I am doing), and start
>posting again. Remember 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
>tonnes 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 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
>newsgroups 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 did that
>and he
>only made about $150.00 and that's after seven or eight weeks!! Then he
>sent the $6.00, 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.
