A STORY ABOUT THAT MONEY MAKING THING YOU SEE ON THE INTERNET
__________________________________________________________________

Hi, it's me. I am really nobody.  I just want to tell you the story behind
this "$5.00 becomes $50.000.00" message you see on the internet everyday.  

I work for Disney getting $5.95 a hour.  My rent is $480.00 a month which
doesn't including water and gas.  Living in Florida also means A/C will
cost me a fortune.  I have a Cockatiel named Harriet that wakes me up every
morning while I try to sleep. She (I think it's he) needs food and that
costs me money.  The a/c in my car went out and that will need to be fixed.
  I had every reason to try this money making thing more than anybody else,
huh?

When I read these money making stories, I  had my doubts.  After all, it
was just too good to be true.  But I guess investing or losing just $5.00
on this thing was no big deall.  I have lost  great things in life and 
couldn't  justify moaning over a lousy five.  I went to Vegas last
November, and I lost  more than $500.00, but that's another story, maybe I
can share with you all next time.

So I did it.  I sent $1.00 to everyone on that list, and I rented a mail
box and waited for the money to come in.  It was almost one month before I
started to receive money.  It was not much, around  $50.00.  In four
months, I have received a total of $985.00.  Hey, it's not bad for someone
who only spent one afternoon posting messages to 250 different news groups.
 

I know a lot of messages you see on the internet say that you can make
$50,000.00 in 4 months. Well, I think the number maybe overly distorted. 
Who knows, I'm still seeing my returns..  Common sense says that's probably
not likely.  If so, Disney World wouldn't have any ride operators at "It's
a Small World" because he or she could make $40,00.00 in 4 months.  Why
works for Disney?

The idea behind this money making system is nothing new. Whoever thought
about this was probably a college economic professor.  Just like
Government, the reason why it has so much money is to get little bit from
everyone.  In this case, we are like government, we took $1.00 from
everyone, and everyone who sent $1.00 also gets a little from everyone who
sent them $1.00.  When money exchange circulating between hands, people who
stay in this system all benefit from it.

You may ask is this legal? Yes, the system is designed so it's legal.  If
it's not legal. Date Line on ABC or 20/20 would have already done a lead
story.  I must make a prediction here, I believe that our Government will
probably say something soon cause they won't able to tax the money we
receive, so far, they haven't been able to do anything.  

Oh, I must tell you that I felt guilty when I opened those envelopes with
money inside.  All that money for something without any effort.  Consider
this a thank you letter to all those who took a chance and sent me that
dollar.  There is no reason not to do it.  You'll be happy you did!!

NOW this is that famous letter you see on the internet everyday. Follow
these steps closely.  Make sure you send $1.00 to everyone on the list.



HEADER
The Internet has grown tremendously. It doubles in size every 4
months. Still, less than 5% of everyone on earth has access. Do
you understand the potential of what I am saying here???

STEP 1.
Invest your $5 by writing your name and address on five seperate
pieces of paper along with the words: "PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING
LIST." (In this way, you're not just sending a dollar to someone;
you're paying for a legitimate service.) and mail them by 
standard U. S. Mail to the following five addresses fold a $1 bill, money
order,
or bank note inside each:

1.  Bill Brown
    148 South Downlen #796
    Beaumont,TX  77707
    USA

2. FLI
    930 East Ellis Street #142
    Jefferson City,TN  37760
    USA

3. Yoshitsugu Kikuchi
    6-19-9-403, Arakawa
    Arakawa-ku, Tokyo 116
    JAPAN

4. Billy Landenberger
      P.O. Box 509
      Accord, MA  02018
      USA

5. Cheryl Shih
    P.O. Box 22756
    Lake Buena Vista, FL 32830
    USA

    Now here is how and why this system works:

    Out of every block of 250 posts I made, I got back 5 responses.
    Yes, thats right,only 5. You make $5.00 in cash, not checks or
    money orders, but real cash with your name at #5.

    Each additional person who sent you $1.00 now also makes 250
    additional postings with your name at #4, 1000 postings. On
    average then, 50 people will send you $1.00 with your name at
    #4,....$50.00 in your pocket!

    Now these 50 new people will make 250 postings each with your
    name at #3 or 10,000 postings. Average return, 500 people= $500.
    They make 250 postings each with your name at #2= 100,000
    postings=5000 returns at $1.00 each=$5,000.00 in cash!

    Finally, 5,000 people make 250 postings each with your name at
    #1 and you get a return of $60,000 before your name drops off
    the list.And that's only if everyone down the line makes only 250
    postings each! Your total income for this one cycle is $55,000.

    From time to time when you see your name is no longer on the list,
    you take the latest posting you can find and start all over again.

                The end result depends on you. You must follow through
                and repost this article everywhere you can think of.
                The more  postings you  make, the more cash ends up in
                your mailbox. It's too easy and too cheap to pass
                up!!!

    So thats it. Pretty simple sounding stuff, huh? But believe me, it
    works. There are millions of people surfing the net every day, all
    day, all over the world. And 100,000 new people get on the net
    every day. You know that, you've seen the stories in the paper.
    So, my friend, read and follow the simple instructions and play
    fair. Thats the key, and thats all there is to it. Print this out
    right now so you can refer back to this article easily. Try to
    keep an eye on all the postings you made to make sure everyone is
    playing fairly. You know where your name should be.

    If you're really not sure or still think this can't be
    for real, then don't do it. But please print this article and pass
    it along to someone you know who really needs the bucks, and see
    what happens.

    In a way, this is too good to be true but here's the deal:
    This will only work as long as new people joins all the time,
    you don't have to be an Einstein to figure that out. But since
    you read this within a month of the posting you are one of the 5%
    in the world with Internet acces. That means that the Internet will
    keep growing at an increased rate for YEARS to come. And remember
    that of all the Internetusers very few have found the Usenet, most
    of them are still just surfing the web! I haven't made any
    mathematical calculations but I guess that when the 50% of the
    world are online, this wont work ant more. BUT THE BEAUTY OF IT
    IS THAT IT WON'T HAPPEN FOR YEARS TO COME!!!


    REMEMBER....HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY.YOU DON'T
    NEED TO CHEAT THE BASIC IDEA TO MAKE THE BUCKS!
    GOOD LUCK TO ALL, AND PLEASE PLAY FAIR AND YOU WILL
    WIN AND MAKE SOME REAL INSTANT FREE CASH!

*** By the way, if you try to deceive people by posting the messages
with your name in the list and not sending the bucks to the people
already included, you will not get much. I know someone who did this
and only got about $150 (and that's after two months). Then he sent
the 5 bills, people added him to their lists, and in 4-5 weeks he had
over $10,000!

                TRY IT !!!!!!!!!!
