I get sick of the dozens of get-rich-quick spams I receive in my
mailbox and read on the newsgroups I cover.

But one day...I don't know, I must have been suffering from low blood
sugar...I received the attached message and actually READ it.

Now, I don't know the author from Adam.  But I figured, I get so many
of these things, maybe there's something to it.  And anyway, this
guy's not asking for $50 in return for the mystical secrets of bulk
e-mailing or multi-level marketing by fax.  

It's just 5 bucks and, of course, $1.60 for the stamps.

So, just for fun, I did it.  And I've already started receiving money.
Not thousands...yet.  But I've received more than enough to recoup my
initial investment.

If $6.60 ($5 plus the stamps, remember?) is going to force you to miss
the rent this month, PLEASE don't do this.

But if you are curious, like me, then go ahead...give it a shot.

What's the worst that can happen?  At least you'll have a story to
tell.  And how many people even know how to buy one of those for $5.

Good luck!

============================================================


Please Help me, help you, earn Extra Money  $$$ 

YES IT WORKS! I was surprised myself--read this!!!  I still can't
believe it worked! But don't forget this :  HONESTY IS THE BEST
POLICY. You don't need to cheat.  The basic idea to make the money!! 

Well, here it goes: A little while back, I was browsing these
newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar
to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks
with only an initial investment of $5.00! So I thought, "Yeah, right,
this must be a joke," but like most of us I was curious, so I kept
reading. Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to each of the 5 names
and address stated in the article. You then place your own name and
address in the bottom of the list at #5, and post the article in at
least 200 newsgroups. (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. 

I knew that that was the opportunity I had waited for  a long time. I
thought it was about time that the money of the world gets into the
right hands! OURS, right? I never had a doubt that this thing will
actually work and even if it didn't, what were 5 stamps and $5.00 for
a try? 

As I mentioned before, like most of us I was a little skeptical and a
little 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! 

Now, that's how your story WILL sound like, too if you participate:  

Well GUESS WHAT!!... with in 7 days, I started getting money in the
mail! I was shocked! I still figured it would end soon, and didn't
give it another thought. But the money just kept coming in. In my
first week, I made about $20.00 to $30.00 dollars. By the end of the
second week I had made a total of over $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 .. . 

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 off of it as you need it. The process is very
simple and consists of 3 easy steps: 

STEP 1:  Get 5 separate pieces of paper and write the following on
each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST."  Now get 5
$1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 5 pieces of paper so the
bill will not be seen through the envelope to prevent thievery. Next,
place one paper in each of the 5 envelopes and seal them. You should
now have 5 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the
above phrase and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a
service by this. THIS IS PERFECTLY LEGAL!

Mail the 5 envelopes to the following addresses:

#1	Cindy Hamm
	5121 Ohio River Rd.
	Huntington, WV.  25702
	USA


#2	Carolyn Davidson
	1225 9th Ave.
	Huntington, WV 25701
	USA

#3	Nick Sherman
	9655 SW No. Dakota St.  #54
	Tigard, OR  97223

#4	Keith Harmeyer
	221 Claremont Road
	Ridgewood, NJ 07450
	USA

#5	Wilhiem Friedman
	631 Good Intent Rd
	Blackwood NJ 08012

STEP 2:  Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move
the other names up (2 becomes 1, 3 becomes 2, etc...) and add YOUR
Name as number 5 on the list.

STEP 3:  Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as
close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at
least 200 newsgroups. (I think there is close to 18,000 groups) All
you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you
make!   Don't know HOW to post in the newsgroups? Well do exactly the
following:

FOR NETSCAPE USERS: 1) Click on any newsgroup, like normal. Then click
on "To News", which is in the top left corner of the newsgroup page.
This will bring up a message box.

2) Fill in the SUBJECT with a flashy title, like the one I used,
something to catch the eye!!!

3) Now go to the message part of the box and retype this letter
exactly as it is here, with exception of your few changes. (remember
to add your name to number 5 and move the rest up)

4) When your done typing in the WHOLE letter, click on 'FILE' above
the send button. Then, 'SAVE AS..' DO NOT SEND YOUR ARTICLE UNTILL YOU
SAVE IT. (so you don't have to type this 200 times :-)

5) Now that you have saved the letter, go ahead and send your first
copy! (click the 'SEND' button in the top left corner)

6) This is where you post all 200! OK, go to ANY newsgroup article and
click the 'TO NEWS' button again. Type in your flashy subject in the
'SUBJECT BOX', then go to the message and place your cursor here. Now
click on 'ATTACHMENT' which is right below the 'SUBJECT BOX'. Click on
attach file then find your letter wherever you saved it.  Click once
on your file then click 'OPEN' then click 'OK'.  If you did this right
, you should see your filename in the 'ATTACHMENT BOX' and it will be
shaded.   NOW POST AWAY!

FOR INTERNET EXPLORER: It's just as easy, holding down the left mouse
button, highlight this entire article, then press the 'CTRL' key and
'C' key at the same time to copy this article. Then print the article
for your  records to have the names of those you will be sending $1.00
to.    Go to the newsgroups and press 'POST AN ARTICLE' type in your
flashy subject and click the large window below. Press 'CTRL' and 'V'
and the article will appear in the message window. **BE SURE TO MAKE
YOUR ADDRESS CHANGES TO THE 5 NAMES.** Now re-highlight the article
and re-copy it so you have the changes.... then all you have to do for
each newsgroup is 'CTRL' and 'V' and press 'POST'. It's that easy!!
THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post
away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for
each newsgroup!   **REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE
MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200**

**If these instructions are too complex to follow, try Forte's "Free
Agent." It is freeware for noncommercial use. To download it, simply
use a search utility and type "Forte Free Agent". You should be able
to find it.**

That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the world within
days! You may eventually want to rent a P.O. Box due to the large
amount of mail you receive. If you wish to stay  anonymous, you con
invent a name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it. **JUST
MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.**

Now the WHY part:

This entire principle works because it is in a format of an upside
down tree with thousands of branches. Everyone below you will see to
it that the tree continues because they want to get money. Those below
THEM will continue because THEY want to get the cash etc.

Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low
example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #5 on the letter. Now,
each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200
postings, each with my name at #4 and only 5 persons respond to each
of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each
make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #3 and only 5 replies each, I
will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn
around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #2 and only receive 5
replies each, I will make an additional $626.00! OK, now here is the
fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM of 200 letters with
my name at #1 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me
$3,125.00!!! With a original investment of only $5.00! AMAZING! And as
I said 5 responses is actually VERY LOW!  Average is probable 20 to
30! So lets put those figures at just 15 responses per person. Here is
what you will make:

at #5 $15.00
at #4 $225.00
at #3 $3,375.00
at #2 $50,625.00
at #1 $759,375.00

When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest
posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $5.00 to names on the
list, putting your name at number 5 and start posting again. The thing
to remember is that thousands of people all over the world are joining
the Internet and reading these articles everyday, JUST LIKE YOU are
now!! And this will go on and on and on and on.... get the picture?
Well, there's 5,000,000,000 people on the world and most of them will
eventually end up being hooked into the internet. So  there are
virtually unlimited resources.  Of course this will work the best at
the very beginning so the faster you post, the better for YOU!

So can you afford $5.00 and see if it really works?? I think so!

People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no one sends you
the money? So what! What are the chances of that happening when there
are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the
Internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to  give it a try?
Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with thousands
of those joining the actual Internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and
HONESTLY and this will work.

You just have to be honest.  Make sure you print this article out
RIGHT NOW, also. Try to keep a list of everyone that sends you money
and always keep an eye on the newsgroups to make sure everyone is
playing fairly.   Remember, HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY. You don't need
to cheat the basic idea to make the money!!   GOOD LUCK to all and
please play fairly and reap the huge rewards from this, which is tons
of extra CASH. 

**By the way, if you try to deceive people by posting the messages
with your name in the list and not sending the money to the rest of
the people already on the list, you will NOT get as much. Someone I
talked to knew someone who did that and he only made about $150.00,
and that's after seven or eight weeks! Then he sent the 5 $1.00 bills,
people added him to their lists, and in 4-5 weeks he had over $10k.
This is the fairest and most honest way I have ever seen to share the
wealth of the world without costing anything but our time!!! You also
may want to buy mailing and e-mail lists for future dollars.

Please remember to declare your extra income.   Thanks once again...
