DO YOU WANT TO MAKE BUCKS FAST???--AND NO ONE LOSES . . .
Of course you do, we all do !!! Here's how to do so with little effort,
and,
 yes IT'S LEGAL.

There are those do try and then there are those don't try.
The ones who try are the successful people in life.
The ones who don't are the ones who are happy with their 9 to 5 jobs and
don't
 move ahead.

A while ago, I was browsing these 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 $6.00! So I
thought,
 "Yeah, right, this must be a scam!", but, like most of us, I was
curious; I
 kept reading. Anyway, it said that if you send $1.00 to each of the 6
names
 and addresses stated in the article, you could make thousands in a very
short
 period of time. You then place your own name and address at the bottom
of the
 list at #6, and post the article to at least 200 newsgroups.(There are
about
 22,000.) 

No catch, that was it. I came to the conclusion that this could not be a
scam
 (but, if it was, only scamed out of $6 , I could afford it.) As a
lawyer I
 could not see any  legal problems with it.

Even though the investment was a measly $6, I had three questions that
needed
 to be answered before I could get involved in this sort of thing. Just
like
 you, I was skeptical, or thought it might take too much work.

1. IS THIS REALLY LEGAL??
I called another lawyer first. This lawyer friend was a little
unbelieving that
 I would actually make any money but he said it WAS LEGAL if I wanted to
try
 it. I told him it sounded a lot like a chain letter but the details of
the
 system (SEE BELOW) actually made it a legitimate legal business. 

2. Would the Post Office be ok with this . .  . I called them:
1-800-725-2161
 and they confirmed THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! (See Title 18,h sections
1302 NS
 1341 of Postal Lottery Laws). This clarifies the program of collecting
names
 and addresses for a mailing list. 

3. Is this moral? Well, everyone who sends me a buck has a good chance
of
 getting A LOT of money . . . a much better chance than buying a lottery
 ticket!!! In the end it looks to me like no one loses, we help each 
other
 move ahead.

So, having these questions answered, I invested EXACTLY $7.92 ... six
$1.00
 bills and six 32 cent postage stamps . . . and boy am I glad I did !!! 

Within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I
still
 figured it would end soon, and didn't give it another thought. But the
money
 just continued coming in. In my first week, I made about $20.00 to
$30.00
 dollars. By the end of the second week I had a mad total of $1,000.00
!!!!! In
 the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it was still growing. This is
now my
 fourth week and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's
still
 coming in . . . It's certainly worth $6.00 and 6 stamps !!!

So now I'm reposting this so I can make even more money! (and helping
you to
 make a lot of money.) The *ONLY* thing stopping *ANYONE* from
increasing their
 own bank account is pure laziness ! It took me all of 5 MINUTES to
print this
 out, follow the directions, and begin posting to newsgroups. It took me
a mere
 45 minutes to post to over 200 newsgroups. And for this GRAND TOTAL
investment
 of $7.92 (US) and under ONE HOUR of my time, I have reaped an
incredible
 amount of money --like nothing I've ever even heard of anywhere before
!     
 Enough said, time to start !

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 when you need it. The process is very simple and consists of
THREE easy
 steps:
STEP 1--Send the 6 people on the list a single dollar each.
STEP 2--Put your name and address on the list in position 6.
STEP 3--Post this amended letter to 200 (or more!) Newsgroups.

============
HOW IT WORKS
============

STEP 1:

Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each
piece of paper:

      PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING LIST.
      $1 US DOLLAR PROCESSING FEE IS INCLUDED.

(THIS IS KEY AS THIS IS WHAT MAKES IT LEGAL SINCE YOU ARE PAYING
FOR AND LATER
 OFFERING A SERVICE).
 
Now get 6 $1.00 bills and place ONE bill inside EACH of the 6 pieces of
paper
 so the bill will not be seen through the envelope to prevent
theft/robbery.
 Then, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. You
should now
 have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above
phrase
 and a U.S. $1.00 bill. Now send to:

#1
Ashle
347 Jamboree
Manchester, MO 63021

#2
Ruth
4464  Castelar  Street, #320
San Diego, CA  92107

#3
Chris Watson
1138 Indian Road
Virginia Beach, VA  23451

#4
Kit
3538 West 12th Street
Trainer, PA  19061-5301

#5
Richie Kranz
3316 Brugger Place
McFarland, WI
53558

#6
Derek H.
3908 Angus Drive
Westbank, BC, Canada
V4T-2J8

STEP 2: Now delete name #1, move the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5
becomes 4,
 etc...) and add YOUR name as number 6 on the list. (If you want to
remain
 anonymous, put a nickname, but the address MUST be correct, or you
won't
 receive your dollars in the mail.)

STEP 3: Now post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups.
Remember, 200
 postings is just a guideline. The more you post, the more money you
make! 

So, you don't know HOW to post in the news groups? Well, do exactly the
 following:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
        HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS FAST WITH YOUR WEB BROWSER:

Highlight and COPY(Ctrl-C) the text of this posted message and
PASTE(Ctrl-V) it
 into a plain text editor (like Wordpad or WordPerfect) and save it.
After you
 have made the necessary changes that are stated above, simply select a
 newsgroup then COPY(Ctrl-C) and PASTE(Ctrl-V) the text into the message
 composition window of the newsgroup, and post it! 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL NOTES ON POSTING: A nice page where you'll find all the
newsgroups if
 you want help is http://www.liszt.com/ (When you go to the home page,
click on
 the link 'Newsgroup Directory'). But I don't think you'll have any
problem
 posting because it's very easy once you've found the newsgroups. All
these web
 browsers are similar. It doesn't matter which one you have (But it
makes it
 very easy if you have Netscape Navigator 3.0 or later. You may download
it
 from the Internet if you don't have it.) You just have to remember the
basic
 steps, stated below.

BASIC STEPS FOR POSTING: 
1. Find a newsgroup and you click on it.
2. You click on 'POST AN/NEW ARTICLE' or 'TO NEWS' or anything else
similar to
 these.
3. You type your flashy headline in the subject box.
4. Now, either you attach the file containing your amended letter, or
you PASTE
 the letter.(You have to COPY it from the text editor, of course, from
before.)
5. Finally, you click on 'SEND' or 'POST' or 'OK', whatever is there.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
**REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY
YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT
 YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200**

That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the world within
day's!
 You may eventually want to rent a P.O. Box due to the large amount of
mail you
 receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use,
as long
 as the postman will deliver it. 

**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 made $5.00 with my name at #6 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
#5 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 #4 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 #3 and only
receive 5
 replies each, I will make an additional $626.00! OK, now here is the
fun part,
 each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2
and
 they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those
3,125
 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at
#1 and
 if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00!
With a
 original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! And as I said 5 responses
is
 actually VERY LOW! Average is probable 20 to 30!

So lets put those figures at just 15 responses per person. Here is what
you
 will make: 

at #6 $15.00

at #5 $225.00

at #4 $3,375.00

at #3 $50,625.00

at #2 $759,375.00

at #1 $11,390,625.00

When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest
posting in
 the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the list,
putting your
 name at number 6 again. And start posting again. The thing to remember
is, do
 you realize 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 $6.00 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. We all just have to be honest and help
each other
 get ahead.

** 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. Come on folks, let's work
together.
 Someone I talked to knew someone who did that and he only made about
$150.00,
 and that's after seven or eight weeks! Then he sent the 6 $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!!! You also may want to buy
mailing and
 e-mail lists for future dollars. 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!! Any of us can afford $6! Remember, if we all stay honest we
will help
 each other move ahead. I see no losers in this.

GOOD LUCK to all and please play fairly and reap the huge rewards from
this,
 which is tons of extra CASH.

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

=====
LEGAL ? ? ? (Comments from Bob Novak who started this new version.)
"People
 have asked me if this is really legal. Well, it is! You are using the
Internet
 to advertise you business. What is that business? You are assembling a
mailing
 list of people who are interested in home based computer and online
business
 and methods of generating income at home. Remember, people send you a
small
 fee to be added to your mailing list. It is legal. what will you do
with your
 list of thousands of names? That's up to you." 
 
So, build your mailing list, keep good accounts, declare the income and
pay
 your taxes. By doing this you prove your business intentions. Keep an
eye on
 the newsgroups and when the cash has stopped coming (that means your
name is
 no longer on the list), you just take the latest posting at the
newsgroups,
 send another $6.00 to the names stated on the list, make your
corrections (put
 your name at #6) and start posting again. 

=============================================
NOTES:
*1. In some countries, the export of the country's money is illegal. But
you
 can get the license to do this from the post office, explaining the
above
 statements (that you have an online business, etc. You may have to pay
an
 extra tax, but that's OK, the amount of the incoming money is HUGE! And
as I
 said, a few countries have that restriction.
*2. You may want to buy mailing and e-mail lists for future dollars. (Or
 Database or Spreadsheet software.)
*3. If you're really not sure or still think this can't be for real,
please
 print a copy of this article and pass it along to someone who really
needs the
 money, and see what happens. 
*4. You will start getting responses within 1-2 weeks, it depends.
