Turn a measly $5 into $50,000!
Taking 5 minutes to read this text may be one of the best decisions 
you ever made.
My name is not important. What is important is what happened to me.
In June 1994, my business went bankrupt because of the poor state of 
the economy. My cars were repossessed and debt collectors were 
hounding me like you would not believe. I owed thousands and 
bankruptcy seemed to be my only future. My family, my reputation, my 
sanity and my life was at stake. I became very ill.
In September 1994, I saw an article in an Internet Newsgroup telling 
me I could make $50 000 within 4 weeks for an investment of only $5. 
I thought it was a huge joke! I spoke to my friends about it and they 
thought likewise. But after three days of desperate struggle in court 
to keep from going bankrupt, I decided I had nothing to lose.
My family and I in desperation, grasped at straws and sent $1 by 
snail mail to each of 5 names and addresses specified in the article. 
We then placed our own name and address in the article and posted it 
in 200 other newsgroups.
Two weeks later, I started receiving money in the mail! I could not
believe it! Hundreds of dollars turned into thousands, and in the 4
weeks,
I received a total of $53,654. It came from all over the world.
If you follow the 3 steps below, there is no reason whatsoever why 
the same shouldn�t happen to you. This is a perfectly legitimate 
investment opportunity. You invest $5 and you receive a return on 
your investment.  So does the next investor. NOT ILLEGAL, NOT A CHAIN 
LETTER - PERFECTLY LEGITIMATE!
OBVIOUSLY, IF YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED, THEN DON�T PARTICIPATE. BUT 
PLEASE PRINT THIS ARTICLE AND GIVE IT TO SOMEONE WHO MAY WISH TO TAKE 
ADVANTAGE.
The procedure is very simple.
STEP 1. Write your name and address on 5 separate pieces of paper 
with the words "PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING LIST". Fold a $1 note 
or money order or bank draft in each of the pieces of paper and mail 
them to the following five addresses:

1.	Nat Heatwole, 7550 Damascus Rd., Gaithersburg, MD 20882
2.	Jeff Katz, 7 Seir Hill Rd, #41, Norwalk, CT 06850
3.  Eric Johnson 14817 Holden Circle, Horizon TX, 79927
4.	Rittirong Pruthtikul, 3111 Plaza Dr, State College, PA 16801 USA
5.	Steven Valenta, 304 Gates TTU, Lubbock, TX, 79406, USA

STEP 2. Now remove the 1st name on the list, move the other 4 names 
up (5 becomes 4, 4 becomes 3 etc) and put your name and address as 
number 5 on the list. You can do this by re-typing this article or 
simply editing and re-posting it in this or another newsgroup.
STEP 3. Post your amended article to at least 200 new groups (there 
are 17 000 of them).
You are now in the Mail Order Investment Business and you will start 
receiving $1 returns by mail within a week or two. The more 
newsgroups you post to, the bigger your return will be. You may want 
to rent a Post Office Box to handle the volume of mail you are likely 
to receive.  If you wish to remain anonymous, you can use a pseudonym 
such as "The Manager" or "The Investor", but make sure your address 
is correct!
NOW LET ME TELL YOU WHY THIS SYSTEM WORKS!
Of every 200 postings I made, I received an average of 5 replies, YES 
- ONLY 5, each with a $1 bill enclosed. You make $5 for every 200 
postings WITH YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 5.
Each person who sent you $1, now also makes let�s say,only 200 
additional postings WITH YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 4, i.e. 1000 postings.  
On average therefore, 50 people will send you $1 with your name at 
number 4. You make $50.
Your 50 new agents make 200 posting each WITH YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 3 
or 10 000 postings - average return 500 at $1 each is $500. They make 
200 postings each WITH YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 2 = 100 000 postings = 5 
000 returns at $1 each = $5 000.
Finally, 5 000 people make 200 postings each WITH YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 
1 and you get a return of $50 000 before you name drops off the list. 
 AND THAT�S IF EVERYONE DOWN THE LINE ONLY MAKES 200 POSTINGS! Total 
income in one cycle = $55 500.
From time to time, when your name is no longer on the list, you take 
the latest posting that is appearing in the newsgroups, SEND OUT 
ANOTHER $5 TO THE NAMES THAT ARE ON THE LIST, PUT YOUR NAME IN AT 
NUMBER 5 AND START POSTING AGAIN. Remember, 200 postings is only a 
guideline. The more you post, the greater the return.
Let�s review the reasons why you should do this: THE ONLY COST 
FACTORS ARE 5 STAMPS, 5 ENVELOPES, AND 5 $1 BILLS. Anyone can afford 
five dollars to put into such an effortless investment with 
SPECTACULAR RETURNS.
Some people have said to me "What happens if the scheme is �played 
out� and no one sends me any money"? Big deal! So you lose $5 - but 
what are the chances of that happening?
Do you realise how many Internet Users there are? Do you realise how 
many times this scheme can be utilised over and over again - with 
COMPLETELY NEW people participating?
There are not HUNDREDS, NOT EVEN THOUSANDS, BUT HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS 
OF NEW INTERNET USERS EVERY MONTH!
Remember, read the instructions carefully and play FAIRLY...that�s 
the only way this will work. Get a printout so you can refer back to 
this article easily.
Try to keep a list of everyone that sends you money and always keep 
an eye on the newsgroup postings to make sure everyone is playing 
fairly. You know where your name should be.
