PLEASE READ ON ABOUT SOMEONE WHO IS SUCCESSFUL ARE YOU READY TO GET
$50,000 IN
5 WEEKS ONLY WITH JUST 10  BUCKS !!!??
The fact that so many people have taken the time to post to 200
newsgroups or more should Sure is a lot of mail though!
THANKS FOR READING !
*******************************************************
convince you that this one REALLY works!!!!!
Be HONEST and FAIR and you will make money!
AT THIS
AND HOW TO BE SUCCESSFUL ALSO:
(The rest is the original)
*******************************************************
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 $10.00! So I thought, "Yeah, right, this must be a scam!", but like
most of us, I was curious. Like most of us, I kept reading. Anyway, it
said that if you send $2.00 to each of the 5 names and addresses stated
in the article, you could make thousands in a very short period of
time. You then place your own name and address at the bottom of the
list at #5, and post the article to at least 200 newsgroups.(There are
about 22,000.)
No catch, that was it.
Even though the investment was a measly $10, I had three questions
that needed to be answered before I could get involved in this sort of
thing.
1. IS THIS REALLY LEGAL??
I called a lawyer first. The lawyer was a little skeptical that I
would actually make any money but he said it WAS LEGAL if I wanted to
try it. I told him it sounded a lot like a chain letter but the
details of the system (SEE BELOW) actually made it a legitimate legal
business.
2. Would the Post Office be ok with this....I called them:
1-800-725-2161 and they confirmed THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! (See Title
18,h sections1302 NS 1341 of Postal Lottery Laws). This clarifies the
program of collecting names and addresses for a mailing list.
3. Is this moral? Well, everyone who sends me 2 dollors has a good
chance of getting A LOT of money ... a much better chance than buying a
lottery ticket!!!
So, having these questions answered, I invested EXACTLY $10.00 plus
stamps...
and boy am I glad I
did!!!
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 continued coming in. In my first week, I made about
$20.00 to $30.00 dollars. By the end of the second week I had a mad
total of $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's still coming in .....
It's certainly worth $10.00 and 5 stamps !!!
So now I'm reposting this so I can make even more money! The *ONLY*
thing stopping *ANYONE* from enriching their own bank account is pure
laziness ! It took me all of 5 MINUTES to print this out, follow the
directions, and begin posting to newsgroups. It took me a mere 45
minutes to post to over 200 newsgroups. And for this GRAND TOTAL
investment of $10.00+ (US) and under ONE HOUR of my time, I have reaped
an incredible amount of money -- like nothing I've ever even heard of
anywhere before !
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 when you need it. The process is very simple
and consists of THREE easy steps.
============
HOW IT WORKS
============
Mail the 5 envelopes to the following addresses:
STEP 1:
------
Get 5 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each
piece of paper:
PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING LIST.
$2 US DOLLAR PROCESSING FEE IN ENCLOSED.
(THIS IS KEY AS THIS IS WHAT MAKES IT LEGAL SINCE YOU ARE PAYING FOR
AND LATER OFFERING A SERVICE).
Now get 10 $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
theft/robbery (Add one chemical paper for example;this will turn your
bill invisible and the letter still light).
Then, 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  2 U.S. $1.00 bills.

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. (If you want to remain anonymous, put a
Nickname, but the address MUST be correct. It, of course, MUST contain
Your country, state/district/area, zip code, etc!!! You wouldn't want
Your money to fly away, would you?!?!).
STEP 3: Now post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups.
Remember, 200 postings is just a guideline. The more you post, the more
money you make!
NOTE:IN MANY NEWSGROUPS THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT DELETE THIS KIND OF
MESSAGES
I RECOMEND YOU TO POST 1 OR EVEN 2 TIMES A WEEK TO 300 NEWSGROUPS SO
OTHER
PEOPLE CAN SEE YOUR MESSAGES.THIS IS A WAY TO INCREASE THE POSSIBILITIES

FOR YOU TO GET MORE MONEY!!
Don't know HOW to post in the news groups? Well do exactly the
following:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS FAST WITH YOUR WEB BROWSER:
The fastest way to post a newsletter:
Highlight and COPY(Ctrl-C) the text of this posted message and
PASTE(Ctrl-V) it into a plain text editor(as Wordpad) and save it.
After you have made the necessary changes that are stated above,
simply COPY(Ctrl-C) and PASTE(Ctrl-V) the text into the message
composition window, after selecting a newsgroup, and post it! (Or
you can attach the file, without writing anything to the message
window.)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you have Netscape Navigator 3.0 do the following:
1. Click on any newsgroup like normal, then click on 'TO NEWS'. This
will bring up a box to type a message in.
2. Leave the newsgroup box like it is, change the subject box to
something flashy, something to catch the eye, as "$$$ NEED CASH
$$$?!!", "READ HERE!$!$!$" or "$$$!!!MAKE FAST CASH, YOU CAN'T
LOSE!!!$$$". Or you can use my subject title.
3. Now click on 'ATTACHMENTS'. Then click on 'ATTACH FILE'. Find your
file on your Hard Disk(the one you saved from the text editor). Once
you find it, click on it and then click 'OPEN' and 'OK'. You should
now see your file name in the attachments box.
4. Now click on 'SEND'/'POST'. You see? Now you just have 199 to
go!!!(Don't worry, it's easy and quick once you get used to it.)
NOTE: All the versions of Netscape Navigator's are similar to each
other, so you'll have no problem doing this if you don't have
Netscape
Navigator 3.0.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

(FOR A QUICK TIP)!
Netscape Navigator 3.x and above)
You can post this message to many newsgroups at a time, by simply
selecting a newsgroup near the top of the screen, hold down the SHIFT,
and then select a newsgroup near the bottom of the screen. All of the
newsgroups in/between will be selected. After that, you follow/do the
basic steps, stated below in this letter, except step #1. You can go to
the page stated below in this letter and click on a newsgroup to open
up the newsgroups window. Once you've done this, in the same window go
to 'OPTIONS', and then mark 'SHOW ALL NEWSGROUPS' and 'SHOW ALL
MESSAGES'.
Now you can see all the newsgroups and you can apply easier the above
tip.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you have MS Internet Explorer do the following:
1. Go to the newsgroups and press 'POST AN ARTICLE'. To the new
window type your headline in the subject area and then click in the
large window below. There either PASTE your letter(which it's been
copied from the text editor), or attach the file which contains it.
2. Then click on 'SEND' or 'OK'.
NOTE: All versions of MS Internet Explorer are similar to each other,
so you won't have any problem doing this.
GENERAL NOTES ON POSTING: A nice page where you'll find all the
newsgroups if you want help is http://www.liszt.com/ (When you go to
the home page, click on the link 'Newsgroup Directory'). But I don't
think you'll have any problem posting because it's very easy once
you've found the newsgroups. All these web browsers are similar. It
doesn't
matter which one you have. (But it makes it very easy if you have
Netscape Navigator 3.0 or later. You may download it from the Internet
if
you don't have it.) You just have to remember the basic steps, stated
below.
BASIC STEPS FOR POSTING:
1. Find a newsgroup and you click on it.
2. You click on 'POST A NEW ARTICLE' or 'TO NEWS' or anything else
similar to these.
3. You type your flashy headline in the subject box.
4. Now, either you attach the file containing your amended letter, or
you PASTE the letter.(You have to COPY it from the text editor, of
course, from before.)
5. Finally, you click on 'SEND' or 'POST' or 'OK', whatever is there.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The TOP 200 newsgroups can be found at ---> www.op.net/usenet-stats.html

*** BOTS ***
Bots are small computer programs on a usenet server.
1) Bots look for certain characters in the "Subject:" field of your
newsgroup posting.
2) Bots also look for "multiple postings".
3) If a Bot discovers any of the above, it will delete your posting.
4) Then send you a nasty e-mail.
***OUTSMART THE BOTS***
1) You will make a lot MORE money if you outsmart the BOTS.
2) Post your message only ONCE.
3) Do NOT use characters such as (! $ % + # & * @ ?) in the "Subject"
field.
4) This is what I use ---> Subject:Work from home
------------------------------------------------------------------------

**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
day's! 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.**
LEGAL ? ? ? (Comments from Bob Novak who started this new version.)
"People have asked me if this is really legal. Well, it is! You are
using the Internet to advertise your business. What is that business?
You are assembling a mailing list of people who are interested in home
based computer and online business and methods of generating income at
home. Remember, people send you a small fee to be added to your
mailing list.It is legal. what will you do with your list of thousands
of names?
That's up to you."
So, build your mailing list, keep good accounts, declare the income
and pay your taxes. By doing this you prove your business intentions.
Keep an eye on the newsgroups and when the cash has stopped coming
(that means your name is no longer on the list), you just take the
latest posting at the newsgroups, send another $6.00 to the names
stated on the list, make your corrections (put your name at #6) and
start posting again.
====================================================================
NOTES:
*1. In some countries, the export of the country's exchange is
illegal. But you can get the license to do this from the post office,
explaining the above statements (that you have an online business,
etc. You may have to pay an extra tax, but that's OK, the amount of
the incoming money is HUGE! And as I said, a few countries have that
restriction.
*2. You may want to buy mailing and e-mail lists for future dollars.
(Or Database or Spreadsheet software.)
*3. If you're really not sure or still think this can't be for real,
please print a copy of this article and pass it along to someone who
really needs the money, and see what happens.
*4. You will start getting responses within 1-2 weeks, it depends.
