The fact that so many people have taken the time to post to 250 newsgroups
or more should convince you that this one REALLY works!!!!!  Look at this
man's story, then the rest of the original:

I thought, what the heck, I'll try it.  It's only six dollars.  I didn't do
it 
right at first, I only sent out to about 30 newsgroups.  But, I got back 
my six dollars and actually made $159.37 in a week (someone put 
some change in the envelope).  Anyway, now I'm going to do this the 
right way; send out to 250 newsgroups!  The rest of this letter is just a
cut and paste from the original.  All I can say is that it works.  I would 
never have believed it if it didn't happen to me.  Just remember, we 
must all follow the rules.  Be HONEST and FAIR and you will make 
money!  Sure is a lot of mail though!

MAKE A FORTUNE - AND THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH!

IF YOU HAVE READ THIS FAR YOU HAVE ALREADY PROVED IT WORKS!!

Take just 5 minutes to read this and see.

This is the newest updated version.

As I was surfing the net, I read all these postings on how you can make 
over $50,000, even $800,000. 

Well I believe that if all goes well, and you follow the rules EXACTLY, it
will work. Just follow the instructions given in this letter, and you to
can 
make over $800,000, perfectly legally according to USA Post Office Laws 
(read on for specifics). 
Don't look at this as a money-making scam, but rather a true-to-life
example to test the above statement. It will only cost you $6 dollars plus
6 
stamps, and a few hours of your time. Thus, there is some effort involved, 
because nothing in life is absolutely free. Are you ready and willing to
accept 
that you deserve to receive a fair amount of money? If so, please continue 
reading. 

But if you think this is just another scam, I suggest that you don't try
it.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A 6-PERSON LIST, NOT THE USUAL 5.  PLEASE DO NOT TRY
TO CHEAT THIS PROGRAM. JUST ADD ONE NAME AND REPOST 
THE ARTICLE.  IF YOU  DO NOT IT WILL NOT WORK, AND YOU WILL BE 
REMOVED.  FROM THE LIST! FOLLOW  THESE DIRECTIONS AND JOIN US 
IN A GREAT OPPORTUNITY!

The program has been revised and you will notice six names instead of five.
The 
reason for this is the flood of five name programs and the sixth name will
add 
$50000 to $100000
This is proven mathematically and in my bank account. I never really
thought 
that this program would work, but IT DOES and it will for you too.  Just be
patient and follow the directions exactly.  Print this article now, so you
have all the information for your version.  
Remember to keep the names right. Let's go!

STEP 1

Invest your $6 by writing your name and address on six separate pieces of  
paper along with the words:
"PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING LIST".
(In this way, you are not just sending a dollar to someone; you are paying
for
a legitimate service.)

People have asked me if this is really legal.  It is! You are using the
internet to
advertise your business.  What is that business?  You are assembling a 
mailing 
list of people who are interested in home based computer  and on-line
businesses
and methods of generating income at home.  Remember - people send you a
small 
fee to be added to your list. It is legal. What will you do with your list
of thousands
of names?  That's up to you, but this is how it becomes legal. To be legal
you 
must actually sell a product or service if you expect to receive a dollar. 
Anyone 
sending a dollar back to you must receive something in return.  You have
already received this letter due to the participation of each of the 6
persons listed below. 
This letter and the plan given within this letter are a "product" that you
have 
received. Thus, you will be sending $1.00 to each of the 6 persons given
below in exchange for receiving this letter and for asking them to provide
the "service" of adding you to their mailing list.

THIS IS A SERVICE AND IS A 100% LEGAL BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY WHICH I
COVERED IN TITLE 18, SECTION 1302 AND 1342 OF THE POSTAL AND 
LOTTERY LAWS.

Now, please follow the given steps exactly to receive your desired amount 
of 
money:
Immediately send $1 US cash (a one dollar bill, no checks, no money orders)
to 
each of the 6 people on the list below. Wrap this dollar in a note 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.)  Also, to discourage
those who prey on cash in the mail, be sure the bill is completely hidden
by the note. A woven envelope is recommended. Include your address. You do
not need to include your name. This is the key to the program!  Also, let
each person know what number they are in your letter so he/she knows which
cycle he is receiving the $1.00 from. Make sure that you retain EVERY name
and address sent to you, either on computer or  hard copy, but do not
discard the names and notes that people  send to
you. This is PROOF that you are truly providing a service, and should the
IRS 
or someother government agency question you, you can provide them with this
proof.  
Therefore, you will start a list of all the people who send you a dollar
requesting to be 
added to a mailing list.  Actually, you will want to safeguard this list
because it can generate even better responses and much more money later! 
Fold a $1 bill inside each paper, and mail them by  standard mail to the
following six addresses:

1.  R.M.
     66 Navsink Dr.
     Monmouth Beach, NJ  07750

2.  M. Pack
     1543 Oak St. #3
     Sarasota, FL  34236

3.  C.F.
     8328 46ave. N.W.
     Calgary, Alberta, Canada
     T3B 1Y5
        	
4.  V. Bhanot
     43 Dane Road
     Coventry, CV2 4JR
     England, UK

5.  G. Danser
     949 Highland St.
     Oberlin, PA  17113

6.  M. Davis
     109 Erwin Street
     Greensboro, N.C.  27406



STEP 2

Now remove the top name from the list, and move the other names up. This
way #6 becomes #5 and so on. Put your name in as the #6 on the list
(Remember
to take #1 off and change the numbers so #2 becomes #1, #3 becomes #2, #4 
becomes #3, #5 becomes #4 and #6 becomes #5 and you become #6.) 

STEP 3

LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH MONEY YOU CAN MAKE.

How do the numbers work for potential income earnings?  Assume for the sake
of 
example that you get a 7.5% return rate.  This is very conservative; my
first 
attempt was about 9.5%, and my second was over 11%.   
1. You send out 200 letters, and 15 people (7.5% x 200) will send you $1
each. 
$15.00

2. Those 15 send out 200 letters each, and 225 people send you $1 each.
$225.00 

3. Those 225 send out 200 letters each, and 3,375 people send you $1 each 
 $3,375.00.

4. Those 3,375 send out 200 letters each, and 50,625.00 people send you $1
each.
$50,625.00 

5. Those 50,625 send out 200 letters each, and 759,375 people send you $1
each. 
$759,375.00

6. Those 759,375 send out 200 letters each, and 11,390,625 people send you
$1 
each. 
$11,390,625

TOTAL $12,204,240.00!!  That's 12 million dollars. If those figures sound  
incredibly high, figure that even with half the return rate, or even a
quarter, the total 
is still spectacular. It works every time, but how well will depend on how
many  letters you send. In the above example you mailed out 200 letters.
This sounds 
like "pie in the sky," but the numbers add up, and with over 40 million
people on 
the NET, it works!  TIP:  For an even greater return, post to MORE than 250
newsgroups initially; try for 300-350.  When your name drops off a list,
simply access another message from a newsgroup and start the process over
again.  
Post the new article to at least 250 newsgroups. remember the more you
post, the more people see, and the more you get. There are at least 25,000
newsgroups at any one time.  This is a $7.92 investment. It takes about a
week 
or so to start  seeing a return- so be patient. The money should flow for
about 3 months. At that point, simply add your name to the list and start
over.  I've done 
this three times and now I can quit my job and start investing in real
estate full 
time. I asure you this can work.  
If you mailed out 500 letters, you could have received even more!  Check
the 
math yourself, but I guarantee it's correct.  With this kind of return, you
have got 
to give it a try! 

Try it once, and you'll do it again. Just make sure you send a dollar to 
each 
of the addresses on the list above with a note asking to be added to their
mailing 
list.  Together we will all prosper and we will be able to share our wealth
 with 
those less fortunate than ourselves.

GOOD LUCK!!

GENERAL STEPS ON AUTOMATING THE PROCESS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have Netscape 3.0 do EXACTLY the following:
1)  Click on any newsgroup 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 insert your name at #6,  and 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  ABOVE 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.  NOTE:  If you don't want to type 
in the whole article by hand, AND you know how to use a plain text editor
(like Notepad), you can edit the file ahead of time, then attach it as
shown in step 6.

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 Cc:

6)  Here's where you're going to post all 200.  OK, click on any newsgroup
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.  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 if you did this right, you should see your
file name in the attachments box, and it will be shaded green.  NOTE:  If
you don't want to type in the whole article and you know how to use a plain
text editor (Notepad), you can edit the file ahead of time, then attach it.
*************************
1)  IF YOU USE I.E. EXPLORER IT'S JUST AS EASY...HOLDING DOWN THE LEFT
MOUSE BUTTON, highlight this article.  Then press the "ctrl" 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. 

2)  Go to the news groups and press "post an article".   A window will
open.  
Type in your headline in the subject area and then click in the large
window below.
Press "ctrl" 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 every
time you post the article in a new newsgroup all you have to repeat is
"ctrl" and "v" and press post.

3)  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, or
more.  You see?  Nowyou just have 249 to go!! (Don't worry, each one takes
about 30 seconds, once youget used to it. 
REMEMBER 250 IS THE MINIMUM.  But the more you post the more money you
will receive.  AND THAT'S IT!!   THEY ARE ONLY STEPS!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------
(this is a later addition for extra ease of posting)

EXTRA TIPS:

(ONLY) IF YOU ARE CONFIDENT WITH YOUR COMPUTER YOU CAN AUTOMATE YOUR
POSTINGS (and prevent spamming) AS FOLLOWS: (THIS 
Replaces the previous section only i.e. 'GENERAL STEPS ON AUTOMATING THE 
PROCESS') (using Netscape):

As you are reading this message click on "file" - "save message as",
enter a filename in the 'save as' dialog box, press "enter".  Now open
"Notepad" 
(usually from "start" - "programs" - "accessories") and open the message
 ( "file" - "open" ) you just saved. (You will find it in the same folder
you saved it and you may also find it has a '.html' file extension). 
Then edit the letter EXACTLY as you have been directed above. Just make
sure you
delete the 'system-message' that appears at the top so that it makes sense
when
you read it! Click on "edit" - "select all" (all the text should now be
highlighted) then again "edit" - "copy". Leave Notepad alone for now and
return to the Netscape News program: Click on "options" - "show all
newsgroups".  Now  select (subscribe to) whichever groups you think are
suitable by moving down the entire listing and clicking in the appropriate
empty boxes. Once you have finished click "options" - "show subscribed
newsgroups".  Now simply click on the first group you want to post to, to
highlight it. Then choose the group about 10 further on and WHILE HOLDING
DOWN THE SHIFT KEY click on it. Next click on "file" - "new news message". 
A message box will appear and after entering the "flashy" subject line,
position the cursor in the main message area.  Click on "edit" -"paste";
the message will appear.
NOW CHECK IT!! When you are satisfied everything is correct click "send"
and it 
will be sent to all 10 groups. Now repeat as many times as you need- very
simple! 
PLEASE NEVER post to many more than 10 with any one message since the
resulting long lines of newsgroup listings at the top of EVERY message will
annoy many AND will  vastly reduce the effectiveness of your posting.
