  IT WORKS!!! IT WORKS!!! IT WORKS!!! IT WORKS!!! IT WORKS!!! 

                   !! I PROMISE YOU !!
                !!!!! I PROMISE YOU IT WORKS !!!!!
                   !! I PROMISE YOU !!

If you are AT LEAST five percent open-minded you will read this.

Please do not be offended by this letter! No one with an open mind

need be offended by people helping other people. PEOPLE HELPING

PEOPLE does NOTHING BUT GOOD. If you have faith in people, then

continue reading and other people will help you. What I mean by

help, is money. 

This is about people helping other people pay the bills. This is
about FUN. No mean-spirited people are welcome here. If you have
FIVE DOLLARS (and five stamps) you can participate and you will
get your money back (in Europe too!) The key to this idea is that
it requires faith. HOW MUCH FAITH DO YOU HAVE?? If you have the
faith to try this, then you have the faith that at least five other
people will try it after you. 

THE THEORY IS that as long as new people CONTINUE TO JOIN this,
THEY WILL MAKE MORE THAN THEY SPEND (which is just 5$). The Internet
is growing faster than anyone could have imagined a few years ago,
and as long as there are always new people on the 'net, this program
CAN and WILL continue - to make people happy and restore a little
faith in the world. I must also say that there is nothing illegal
here (no scams!) 

If you are not in America, you are JUST AS WELCOME!!! At the bottom
of this letter is a currency conversion chart just to keep things
fair for people playing this game across international lines. Now...

         !!!!!!!!!******** HOW TO PLAY ********!!!!!!!!!!

Get your FIVE dollars ready. [No checks or money orders.] Players in
Europe - check the bottom of this letter for conversion info!

Get five sheets of paper, and on each sheet write "Please add me to
your list." Important: These papers act as disclaimers and legitimize
this as LEGAL!

Now, wrap each of the dollars in the five sheets of paper and seal
them in the five envelopes. 

Next, MAIL THEM TO THE FIVE ADDRESSEES LISTED FURTHER BELOW and here
comes the good part -

REMOVE the name from slot number one in the address list below, then
add YOUR name AND address to the bottom of the list (bumping the others
up a notch.) So now, the person that was at number 2 is now number 1,
and so on..

< Note: There is a good chance that as many as HALF of the addressees
< will be in other countries. Sending a simple letter to Europe from
< the U.S. is just a couple more stamps. Please DO NOT participate in
< this if you are not willing to pay the postage for all five letters
< whatever the destinations!     !!!!You WON'T regret joining in!!!!

The LAST STEP is to _REMAIL_ this letter to AS MANY NEWSGROUPS AS YOU
CAN. And - voila!! You just spent five dollars plus postage for the
right to redistribute this letter with YOUR name included and the faith
that five new people will make you feel just as good as YOU made five
people feel!

For Fun: There is also a "Special Note" section after the address
section which you may use for a personal message when you redistribute
this letter. Just replace what the last person wrote with something
inspirational just to show others that _REAL_ people are participating.

	**************************************************

REMEMBER - AS LONG AS NEW PEOPLE JOIN THE INTERNET AND TRY THIS, IT
WILL PAY OFF!!! JUST THINK OF ALL THE FAITHFUL PEOPLE YOU CAN REACH BY
JUST POSTING THIS TO ONE OR TWO NEWSGROUPS.

NOW - HAVE FAITH MY FRIENDS! BELIEVE IN OTHERS' FAITH AND YOU WILL WIN!
YOU WILL WIN!!! I PROMISE YOU WILL WIN!!!

**** A PERSONAL NOTE FROM THE LAST PLAYER ***************************

Hi, I'm Rick. I live in Dallas, Texas and am pretty excited about
trying this. Please participate if you're reading this!!!! I like the
idea of people helping each other out. I have "had the faith" and
sent out my five dollars. Please do the same!! Please, please, please!
The guy in slot number one (for me) was from England, and I even mailed
a bill to him (duh, just like I was supposed to!) Just keep telling
yourself - "This is fun. This is fun!" Have a *GREAT DAY*.
