Subject: This is for REAL!!!!!!!

>> REAL FREE CASH!!!
> REAL EASY MONEY! IT WORKS! YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW IT TO THE LETTER
> FOR IT TO WORK!
> Matt posted this message and I was curious so I am posting it myself.
> The one thing I know is that this is totally legal and you MUST take this
> seriously. Treat this like a business and you can make money and it is
> legal! Keep copies of all the notes you receive. Create a mailing list
> with a spreadsheet or some other software program. Pay taxes on the
> money you earn. If you do these things and use integrity running your
> business, this business will work. Essentially, you are providing a
service
> and the service is creating mailing lists. You can eventually sell this
> list to companies for additional cash if you like, but that is not where
> your initial money comes in. That comes from people just like you who
> ask to be added to your mailing lists. For this service they will send you
> $1.00. Read on and follow Matt's directions to the letter and you could be
> receiving a substantial income shortly!
> Matt says:
> A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you
> are now, and came accross an article similar to this that stated you
> could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial
> investment of $6.00! And so, I thought "This might be a SCAM!", but
> like most of us I became curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said
> that you send $1.00 to each of the six (6) names and addresses stated
> in the article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom
> of the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups
> (There are thousands of them). No catch. That was it! So after
> thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about
> trying it. I figured what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and
> $6.00, right? Like most of us, I was a little skeptical and worried
> about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S.
> Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed
> legal! Then I invested the measly $6.00. WELL, GUESS WHAT?!... within
> 7 days, I started getting money from the mail! I was shocked! I
> figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my
> first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week, I have
> made a total of $1,000.00! In the third week, I had over $10,000.00
> and it's 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 rapidly. It's
> certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more than that in
> the lottery!!! 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 about it as you need it. IT IS TRULY
> EFFECTIVE!
>
> STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each
> piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST!"
>
> STEP 2: Now get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6
> pieces of paper so the bill would not be seen through the envelope to
> prevent thievery.
>
> STEP 3: Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal
> them. You should have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper
> stating: (a) the phrase "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST.", (b)
> your name and address, and (c) a US $1.00 bill. STEP 4: Mail the 6
> envelopes to the following names and addresses:
>
> #1 Richard Lang
> 600 Old Street Rd. Apt. #Ft-08
> Trevose, PA 19053
>
> #2. Pat
> 17 Lincoln Ave.
> Norwich, CT 06360
> #3. James
> 3463 Heatherstone Ct.
> Orlando, FL 32812
>
> #4 Matt F.
> P.O. Box 638
> Sterling Heights, MI 48311-0638

> #5 T. Dew
> 3928 69th Street
> Urbandale, IA 50322
>
> #6 N. Connors
> 3500 Meyers Ln. Apt. #27
> Waco, TX. 76705
>
> STEP 5: Now, take the #1 name off the list you see above and move the
> Other names up (#6 becomes #5, #5 becomes #4, etc...) and at your name
> and address as #6 on the list.
> STEP 6: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as
> close to the original as possible.
>
> STEP 7: Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. ( I
> think there are close to 24,000 groups in the internet). All you need
> is at least 200 newsgroups, but remember, the more you post, the more
> money you make!
>
> DIRECTIONS ON HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS:
> Step 1: You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own
> posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and
> drag it to the bottom of this letter.
> Step 2: Select 'copy' from the 'edit' menu. This will copy the letter
> to your computer's memory.
> Step 3: Open a blank 'notepad' or 'wordpad' file and place your cursor
> on top of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This
> will paste a copy of the letter into the 'notepad' or 'wordpad' so
> that you can add your name to the list of names.
> Step 4. Save your 'notepad/wordpad' document as a .txt file. If you
> want to do your postings in different sittings, you'll always have
> this file to go back to.
> Step 5. Use Netscape or Internet Explorer and try searching for
> various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites,
> discussions, etc...)
> Step 6. Visit the message boards and post your amended article as a
> new message by highlighting the text of the letter and selecting paste
> from the edit menu. Fill in the subject, this will be the header that
> everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a
> particular group. Press the 'post message button'. You're done with
> your first posting!
>
> Congratulations! THAT's IT! All you have to do is jump to different
> newsgroups and make your postings. It takes you about 30 seconds for
> each posting. REMEMBER, THE MORE POSTINGS, THE MORE MONEY YOU MAKE!
> BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200! You will begin receiving money
> from around the globe within days! You may eventually want to rent a
> P.O. Box due to the large amount of mail you will be receiving. If you
> want to stay anonymous, you may use a pseudonym as long as your mail
> reaches you. JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT!
> HERE'S THE CATCH: If out of the 200 postings, you receive only 5
> replies (a very conservative one), you make $5.00. And if each of the
> 5 persons who replied to you will make the MINIMUM 200 postings each
> and only 5
> Persons respond to each of them, each of them with my name already at
> #5 on their list, that is another $25.for you. Now those 25 persons
> will make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies to
> each, you'll
> Receive $125.00. Those 125 persons turn around and post a MINIMUM
> POSTS with your name at #3 and each will receive only 5 replies, you
> will make an additional $625.00. If the 625 persons who replied will
> make the MINIMUM 200 posts with your name at #2 and only 5 persons
> will reply to each, you will receive $3,125.00. If those 3,125 persons
> will make the MINIMUM 200 posts with your name at#1 and only 5 persons
> will reply to each, you will receive $15,625.00 with your original
> investment of only $6.00!!! AMAZING!!! Imagine, this is only a very
> conservative estimate (5 replies to each 200 posts)!!! So, your name
> will no longer be in the list. Just send out another six $1.00 in
> another six (6) letters with your name at #6 and then make additional
> posts (MINIMUM OF 2OO) to earn more money! Another thing to keep in
> mind is: hundred thousands of people are joining
> the internet and reading these articles everyday! JUST LIKE YOU ARE
> NOW!!!
>
> READ AGAIN!!! If at any time you would like to remove your name from my
> list, please
> send me a note and I will do so immediately!
>
> THANK YOU AND GOOD LUCK!!!
>
> (THIS IS NOT A GUARANTEE OF INCOME...YOU MUST FOLLOW THE RULES DIRECTLY
AND
> NOT SUBSTANTIALLY CHANGE THE BUSINESS...YOU MUST DO THIS BUSINESS WITH
> INTEGRITY AND FOLLOW ALL THE TAX REGULATIONS TO THE LETTER!)
