Hi There;

I'm a college student/cab driver who like many of you has little or 
no extra cash to met lifes little emergencies, much less having money
for vacations or new cars.  I believe the infromation below is going
to change this.  And what better time to get some extra cash than
around the Holidays.

I pulled this posting off the Net on 4 Nov 1996 @ 05:15 CST,
I don't know if the claims are true, but I can see no reason to
disbelieve them. Beside which I have nothing but about $7.00 invested,
therefore literally nothing to lose and very much to gain.  I have
seen simular postings all over the net. It dawned on me that the
reason that EVERYBODY'S DOIN' IT is because it must work
to some degree!!!    I've  read this..... You're reading this......
Ask yourself...How many other people do you think might also be
reading it???

Less than 24 hours ago I blew the engine on my cab, I don't have the 
money to repair it. Participating in this program may allow me to get
out of the cab business completely; 

"THIS IS THE FAIREST MOST HONEST WAY I KNOW TO SHARE THE WEALTH!  

Would you like to make thousands of dollars, quick, legally, with NO
CATCH?  Then keep reading....please take five minutes to read this
article it will change your life, just like it did mine.  It's true! 
You can make up to or over $50,000 dollars in 4-6 weeks, maybe sooner!

I SWEAR I'M NOT LYING TO YOU, AND THIS IS NOT A SCAM!  If you're
interested, keep reading; if you're not, I apologize for wasting your
time.

Here we go.  A little while back, I was browsing through these
newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar
to this that said you could make thousands of dollars in weeks with
only an Initial investment of $5!  So, I thought, "Yeah, right, must
be a scam", but I was curious, like most of us, so I kept reading.
Anyway, it said that you send $1 to each of the 5 names and addresses
stated in the article. You then place your own name and address in the
article at 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, talking to a few people first, I tried it. 
I figured what have I got to lose except for 5 stamps and $5, right? 
 Well, guess what... within 7 days, I started getting money 
in the mail! I was shocked! I still figured it would end soon, and
didn't give itanother thought. But then money kept coming IN, tripling
in size and multiplying by 10-20 times the amount that I got the first
week! In my first week I made about 20 to 30 dollars. But by the end
of the second week, I had made a total of over $1,000!!!! In the third
week, I had over $10,000 dollars, and it's still growing. This is my
fourth week and I've made about $42,000 TOTAL, and the money is still
coming in.....

Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, WHY it
works... also, make sure you print a copy of the article NOW, so you
get the informatoin off of it, and begin making money.

The process is very simple, and it consists of 3 EASY steps:
STEP 1:  Get 5 seperate pieces of paper and write the following on
each sheet of paper..."PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST. YOU ARE
NUMBER 4."  Get five $1 bills and place ONE inside each piece of paper
that you just wrote on, and fold each piece of paper so the bill will
not be seen in the envelope (otherwise, nosey people who like to steal
envelopes with money in it will get yours). Put one paper inside the
envelope and seal it. Do the same for all 5. You should now have 5
envelopes sealed, EACH have a piece of paper AND a $1 bill stuffed
inside of the paper. Make sure those words that were stated above are
stated on each paper. What you are doing is creating a service by
this, this is PERFECTLY LEGAL. Now then, mail the 5 envelopes with the
paper and $1 to each to the following 5 addresses:


  1. ew Taylor
     1913 West Ave.
     Linwood, NJ 08221

  2.Fernando Raposo
     Rua 1 de Maio, 35
     7780 Castro Verde
     Portugal

  3. Robert Beckman
     6 Heretaunga Avenue
     Auckland
     New Zealand

  4. G. Johnson
      471 Lake Ruth Dr.
       Longwood Fl 32750

  5. J. Schmitt
      2200 Herbert Dr.
      Waukegan, Il 60087	

STEP 2:  Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move
the other 4 names up (5 becoming 4, 4 becoming 3, ect.) and put YOUR
NAME as number 5 on the list.  You can slightly alter this article if
you need to, editing what you need to edit.

STEP 3:  Post your amended article (with your name at #5) to at least
200 news groups (I think there are close to 18,000 of them). All you
need is say, at least 200.  HOW TO DO THIS: If you have Netscape 3.0
do EXACTLY the following:

1)  Click on any news group like normal, THEN click on 'TO NEWS',
which is on the far left when you're in the newsgroups page. 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, like, "NEED CASH $$$  READ HERE $$$" or "FAST
CASH"!!!

3)  Tab once and you should be ready to type. Now, retype (only once)
THIS whole article WORD FOR WORD, except to insert your name at #5,
and to remove #1 off the list, plus any other small changes you think
you need to make. Keep almost all of it the SAME!

4)  When you're done typing the WHOLE article, click on FILE in THIS
BOX, RIGHT ABOUVE SEND, NOT WHERE IT SAYS NETSCAPE NEWS ON THE FIRST
BOX. Click on SAVE AS when you're under FILE. Save your article as a
text file to your C: or A: drive. DO NOT SEND OR POST YOUR ARTICLE
UNTIL YOU DO THIS. Once saved, move on to number 5 below.

5)  If you still have all of your text, send or post to this newsgroup
now by just clicking send, which is right below FILE, and right above
c: .

6)Here's where you're going to post all 200. OK, click on any news
group then click on 'TO NEWS', again in the top left corner. Leave the
NEWSGROUPS BOX alone again, put a flashy subject title in the SUBJECT
BOX, hit TAB once you're in the body of the message, and then click on
ATTACHMENTS, which is below the SUBJECT BOX. You will get another box
to come up. Click on ATTACH FILE, then find YOUR file that you saved;
click once on the file, and then click OPEN' now click on OK; if you
did this right, you should see your file name in the attachments box,
and it will be shaded green.

IF YOU USE IE EXPLORER IT'S JUST AS EASY... HOLDING DOWN THE LEFT
MOUSE BUTTON, HIGHLIGHT THIS ARTICLE. THEN PRESS THE "CRTL" KEY AND
THE "C" KEY AT THE SAME TIME TO COPY THIS ARTICLE. THEN PRINT THIS
ARTICLE FOR YOUR RECORDS TO HAVE THE NAMES OF THOSE YOU WILL BE
SENDING $1 BILLS TO. NEXT GO TO THE NEWS GROUPS AND PRESS "POST AN
ARTICLE", A WINDOW WILL OPEN. TYPE YOUR HEADLINE IN THE SUBJECT AREA
AND THEN CLICK IN THE LARGE WINDOW BELOW. PRESS "CRTL" AND THEN "V"
AND THE ARTICLE WILL BE PLACED IN THE WINDOW. IF YOU WANT TO EDIT THE
ARTICLE, DO SO AND THEN HIGHLIGHT AND COPY IT AGAIN. NOW EVERYTIME YOU
POST THE ARTICLE IN A NEW NEWSGROUP YOU ONLY HAVE TO REPEAT "CTRL" AND
"V" AND PRESS POST.

7)That's it. Each time you do this, all you have to do is type in a
different newsgroup, so that way, it posts to 200 DIFFERENT
newsgroups, you see? Now you just have 199 to go!! (Don't worry, each
one takes about 30 seconds, once you get used to it) REMEMBER 200 IS
THE MINIMUM. The more you post the more money you will make.

AND THAT'S IT!!! THAT'S THE ONLY  STEPS THERE ARE!!!

You are now in the mail order business and will start recieving your
$1 envelopes from various people all over the world within days. HINT:
THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST TO, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE. You may
want to rent a PO Box eventually because of all the mail. Just make
sure all the addresses are CORRECT, please.

	LET ME TELL YOU WHY THIS SYSTEM WORKS!!!!

Out of every 200 postings, let's say I ONLY receive 5 replies, which's
