Need some extra cash-like to by that extra, oh, house you've always
wanted?This is how I got mine:

A little while back, I was browsing these newsgroups, just like you are
now, and came across an article to like 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, 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 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.  So after thinking it over and talking to a few people first,
I though about trying it.  I figured, "What have I got to lose except 5
stamps and $5.00, 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 legal!  Then I invested the measly $5.00.  Well Guess What?! 
Within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail!  I was shocked!  I
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 $20.00 to
$30.00.  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 was still
growing.  This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over
$42,000.00--and it is still coming in!  It's certainly worth $5.00 and 5
stamps.  I sepnd 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 simple and consists of 3 easy steps:
STEP 1:  Get 5 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each
piece:  "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 that 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 address:
	#1	Kent
		27 Vicar Road
		Anfield
		Liverpool
		L6 08W
		England  UK

	#2	David West
		6020 Danube Way
		Orlando, FL 32807

	#3	Alison Brentwood
		188-04 50 Ave
		Flushing, NY 11365

	#4	Stephanie Fairfield
		3 Linden Avenue
		Morton, PA 19070

	#5	Jon Farrar
		549 Devine St.
		Sarnia, ON N7T-1W7

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 #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 close to 18,000 groups.)  All you need
is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you will make! 
Don't know how to post 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 sbject 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 copy 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 you're done with 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!  Okay, 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 there.  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!!
IF YOU ARE USING INTERNET EXPLORER:
It's just as easy.  Holding down the left mouse button, highlight this
entire article, then press the 'CTRL' key and the '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.
NEXT:
Go to the newsgroups and press 'POST AN ARTICLE.'  Then 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 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 PO 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 #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's
another $25.00 for me.  Now those 25 each make 200 minimum postings with
my name at #3 and only 5 reply to 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!  Okay, now here is the fun part.  Each of those 625 persons post
a minimum 200 letters with my name at #1 and they each only receive 5
replies.  That just made me $3,125.00 with an original investment of only
$5.00!  AMAZING!  And as I said, 5 responses is actually very low! 
Average is probably 20 to 30!  So let's 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
When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting
and start all over again.
