I thought for $6 and a few stamps what the heck it could be 
interesting!


Make MONEY...

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!

If you can read this posting, you obviously own a computer, and have 

internet access. So why not cash in on some of today's technology!!!

This is just too easy to pass up. The ability of this program to 
generate

large amounts of money in a short period of time, is limited only by 
your

imagination. The world truly is your "oyster"!!!!
  
Sure is a lot of mail though!

Thanks for your interest!!!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

        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 theinstructions given 


in this letter, and you to can make over $800,000, perfectly legally 

according to USA Post Office Laws (read on for specifics).  
 
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 IS

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
 
some other 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)     D. Fenter
        24 Hornsilver Place
        The Woodlands, TX 77381
        USA
2)    R. LAWSON
        P.O. BOX 842
        BRISTOL,VA.
        24203-0842
        USA
3)    B. Cody
       1156 Auraria Rd.
       Dawsonville , GA
       30534
       U.S.A.
4)    C.L.W.
       3015 So. Coker St.
       Greenwood, AR.
                   72936
       USA
5)    Tom Cavalli
       P.O. Box 1653
      Mentor, OH  44061

6)	ERR
11 Brittany Dr
West Hurley,  NY 12491
USA

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

assure 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?  Now you just have 249 to go!! (Don't worry, each one

takes about 30 seconds, once you get 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.


--------------------------------------------------------------------

JUST ONE OTHER THING:

Let's remember that there are many people far less fortunate than

ourselves who will never be able to afford a computer and hence will be

unable to join in our enterprise. Therefore please consider donating a

(significant) portion of your earnings from the venture to charity.

NOTE -- "edit" - "copy"  is exactly the same as pressing "ctrl" with "c"

 "edit" - "paste" is exactly the same as pressing "ctrl" with "v"
