	I criminal trial attorney.  Been one for 16 years.  As such, I get 
lied to every day.  I have therefore my internal B.S. meter is highly 
developed.  This meter started going off the scale when I first started 
reading about this arrangement whereby one can make money by sending a buck to 
5 people and then postin g a list of those people's names along with his own. 
 But thethe more I thought about it, the more I became intrigued with the 
possibility that it could work.  #1. Thousands of people like me log on for 
the first time  to the internet and #2. I was intrigued by the idea and 
minimization of risk as I'm sure others would be.  This could work!
	So here's the deal.All you need is 5 one-dollar bills, stamps and 5 
envelopes.  I know everyone can swing that no matter how hard-up you are.

	step 1. Take a sheet of paper and write on it the following:"Please 
add my name to your list".  Include your name and address.  For a little 
twist, tell the person what slot he/she was in,"you were in slot 3".  
	step 2. Fold this sheet of paper around a dollar bill (no checks or 
money orders) put them in an envelope and send each one to the names on the 
list at the end of this posting.
	step 3. NOW HERE'S THE IMPORTANT PART THAT CAUSES MONEY TO BE SENT TO 
YOU: Look at the list of 5 people.  Remove the first name from position one 
and move veeryone else up one position.  Now put your name in position 5 along 
with your address and country.
	step 4. Upload this updated file to as many newsgroups and bulletin 
boards as you can possibly stand.  Give it a catchy title to attract 
attention. THE MORE UPLOADS, THE MORE MONEY.  Sweat equity you could say.  If 
everyone puts 100% into it, everyone will make that much more.  Set a goal.  
200.  250.  who knows.  If you don't have a job, you have the commodity 
of time to do it.
	step 5. In about 2 weeks, the money should start coming in and peak in 
3-4 weeks.
	step 6. Keep your file handy for when you need more money and re-post 
it.
	
	So lets get to it! Mahalo and pomaikai (thanks and good luck).
Here's the list:

	#1 Bob Stevenson; PO Box 498; Sugarloaf, NY  10981
	#2 Mary Carter 228 W. Patrick St.; Frederick, Maryland  21701
	#3 Haime Schwartz; RR5 156 T1A; Monroe, NY  10950
	#4 gary Utz; PO Box 49; Upton, NY  11973
