$$$   IT'S WORTH A TRY!    $$$
 
While I was browsing the 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 scam," but like most of us I was curious, so I
kept reading. 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 on the bottom of the list at #5, and post the
article in at least 200 newsgroups (there are thousands of newsgroups) 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 5 stamps and $5.00, right? 

Like most people I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I
called the U.S. Post Office, (1-800-725-2161) and the U.S. Post Office Crime Hotline (1-800-
654-8896) they confirmed that indeed it is LEGAL! 

I  have decided to try it. All I am investing is my time, 5 stamps, and $5.00. 

The ad said that within 7 days, I should start receiving money in the mail!  In the first week, It is
possible to make about $20.00 to $30.00 dollars. By the end of the second week it is possible
to make over $1,000.00!!!!!! In the third week over $10,000.00, and in the fourth week about
$42,000.00. 

It's certainly worth $5.00, and 5 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. 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. THIS IS PERFECTLY LEGAL! 

Mail the 5 envelopes to the following addresses: 



#1. Manuel Fonticoba
      Paseo de las Palmas #1670
      Col. Lomas de Chapultepec
      Mexico, D.F. 11000
      Mexico

#2 Reid Piazza
     1324 Elm St.
     San Carlos, CA 94070

#3 Chris Lighthall
     2312 14th ave apt# 106
     Canyon, TX 79015

#4 William R. Knisely Jr.
     Box 15 Hickory Grove Park
     Alum Bank, PA  15521

#5 Mike Maveal
     2635 Blazer Rd.
     Monroe, MI. 48162

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. 

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 25,000 
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 should receive. 

**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've 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 $625.00! OK, 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 lets put those
figures at just 15 responses per person. Here is what you possibly 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 in the newsgroups, and
send out another $5.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 5 again. 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!! 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. I read about 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!!! 

Don't listen to the people that don't trust it and continue to say it's illegal and doesn't work... call
for yourself at the Post Office numbers listed above and find out FOR YOURSELF if it is legal
or not. 
IT IS LEGAL!  

You also may want to buy mailing and e-mail lists for future dollars. 

Please remember to declare your extra income. Thanks again...
