$50,000 for only $5 in two months?  You gotta be crazy!  How can you make
$50,000 for only $5?  Well, that's what I was wondering too until I came
across this letter.

First of all, IT'S PERFECTLY LEGAL!  (Call 1-800-725-2161) if you have any
questions about the following opportunity to make $50,000.00 and that
probably WITHIN LESS THAN TWO MONTHS!

Well, here it goes:  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 joke," but
like most of us I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you
send $1.00 to each of the 5 names and address 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 newsgroups. (There are thousands) No
catch, that was it.

As I mentioned before, 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!

What are the basics of each system and why are they legal?  Each system
follows the same basic steps which define a business by offering others the
ability to get involved using the system you
advertise in newsgroups on the Internet and accepting a small fee for the
requests of those who respond to be added to your mailing list.  Yes, you
will be in the business of creating your own mailing list.  Their requests
to be added to your mailing list which is sent with a $2 fee for your
service define a legal
business opportunity under U.S. Postal and Lottery Laws --- a legal
business opportunity for you which is covered in title 18, sections 1302
and 1342 of the U.S. Postal and Lottery Laws.

Now, what one does, or does not do, with the mailing list being constructed
is a personal decision.  One could decide to do nothing with this list, to
use it as a tool in building another business or expanding an existing
business.  This decision is up to the creator of the mailing list -- this
decision is up to you.

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
PERFECTLY LEGAL!  Mail the 5 envelopes to the following addresses:

#1 J. Martin
   P.O. Box 2292
   Reston, Va. 20190

#2 I. V. Lauretta
   209-1757 Victoria Park Ave.
   Scarborough, Ontario
   M1R 1S3

#3 J. A. Hernandez
   6690 Lucia Ln. #7
   Fridley, MN  55432-4642

#4 G. Duchacek
   1825 Lee Janzen Drive,
   Kissimmee Bay,
   Kissimmee, FL. 347347

#5 T. Roberts
   4810 Meadow Lark Lane
   Paso Robles,  CA  93446-4220

STEP 2:  Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the
other names up (2 becomes 1, 3 becomes 2, 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 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 newsgroups? Well do exactly the following:

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 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 UNTIL 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 newsgroup 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!

FOR 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.

Go to the newsgroups 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 newsgroup is
'CTRL' and 'V' and press 'POST'. It's that easy!!  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**

**If these instructions are too complex to follow, try Forte's "Free
Agent." It is freeware for noncommercial use. To download it, simply use a
search utility and type "Forte Free Agent". You should be able to find
it.**

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 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:  This entire principle works because it is in a format of
an upside down tree with thousands of branches. Everyone below you will see
to it that the tree continues because they want to get money. Those below
THEM will continue because THEY want to get the cash etc.  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 200 with 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 of 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

Your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the
newsgroups, and send out another $5.00 to names on the list, putting your
name at number 5 and start posting again.  The thing to remember is that
thousands of people all over the world are joining the Internet and reading
these articles everyday, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! And this will go on and on
and on and on.... get the picture? Well, there's 5,000,000,000 people on
the world and most of them will eventually end up being hooked into the
Internet. So  there are virtually unlimited resources. Of course this will
work the best at the very beginning so the faster you post, the better for
YOU!

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 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 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.
