Want to make money on the side?  Download this file now, and take some 
time out to read it, it may make you rich! 

 I know what some of you are thinking as you're reading this-It must be 
a scam, right?  Wrong!  Unlike most of the so-called 'schemes' this 
relies on Honesty, yes honesty will make you money!

 Now, don't get me wrong, I've been there.  I've tried every scheme 
under the sun.  I've blown cash here and there. Just �79.95 to join this 
mailing list and that, �24.99 to make money from home without laying 
your hands on any work etc.  I'm not condemning all those schemes, but 
hey, none of them worked for me.  When I stumbled upon this, I said to 
myself halfheartedly, I might as well try it.  I can only regret my 
halfheartedness, and strive to do better next time.  What caught my 
attention was the 'promise' of making up to $50,000 from only a $5 
investment.  You may think, as I have, yeah right, what's the catch?  
The catch is, THERE IS NO CATCH!!!

 What happened next was that I posted a 1 dollar bill to five different 
people listed in that article.  I then updated the list of five names to 
include mine, wrote a catchy article, and posted it to as many internet 
and BBS outposts as possible.  What happened next was expectable-after 
just over two weeks, I received a trickle of letters containing 
one-dollar notes.  What I never even dreamed of was that after another 
week's wait, I was snowed down by letters arriving from all over the 
world.  Initially, I expected a couple of hundred dollars return and no 
more, but was I pleasantly surprised!  I received $18,764 in total, 
which dragged me out of near insolvency.

 The sweetness of the scheme is the way it works: It is restricted 
completely to the internet and the BBSs, so only computer users have 
access to it.  The advantage of this is that these users are connected 
to a readily availabe, cheap advertising medium.  Secondly, the Initial 
Investment is giddy-only $5 plus the stamps to post the five letters.  
With such a small investment, and such a simple way of becoming an 
entrant, IT IS CRAZY NOT TRYING!!!

 JUST FOLLOW A FEW SIMPLE STEPS AND RELAX!

1.   Look at the list of names below, and send a one dollar bill to each 
of the people listed.  Write on a sheet of paper "Please add me to your 
list" and write your full name an address below.  This makes the dollar 
a payment for a service,thus making it a fully legal transaction.  Now 
wrap the bill with the sheet of paper-to make sure the envelope doesn't 
get 'lost' in the post.

2.  Take the first name out of the list and Add your name and adress to 
the bottom.

3.  Write a flashy article, adding the new updated list to the bottom of 
it.

4.  Now, post this new article to as many newsgroups, sites, BBSs and 
any other outposts as you can.  The more, the merrier.

5.  Sit back and relax.  You should be seeing results in two to four 
weeks unfold spectacularly in front of you.

6.  Snoop around the internet from time to time to see updated versions 
of this file, and have a look if anything is wrong...  your name may be 
in the wrong position!  Also, keep a database of the people who've sent 
you money, after all, they're expecting a service from you!

Again, it is possible to make amazing sums from this, previous reported 
results being as high as $58,682.
IT CAN BE DONE!!!

Now, I mentioned that honesty makes this scheme go round and round, this 
is the most important aspect of the whole thing, as only then we look 
after each other.  Don't enter without sending any money to the people 
listed before you-remember, they can see you!  Don't cheat and put 
people on the wrong positions in the list, again, they can see that.  I 
REPEAT, ONLY BY LOOKING AFTER EACH OTHER CAN WE GET ANYWHERE.
