>
>   Put a stamp on each envelope and mail the 6 envelopes to the following

>
>   #1 Dr. Harry T.K.
>   273 Coe St
>   Tiffin, OH 44883-3159

> bottom of this document, and
>   select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter

>
>   Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top

>   'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into
> notepad so that you can add
>   your name to the list.
>
>   Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do
> your postings in different
>   settings, you'll always have this file to go back to.
>
>   Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for
> various newsgroups (on-line
>   forums, message boards, chat sites, and discussions).
>
>   Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new
> message by highlighting the
>   text of this 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, click
>   the post message button. You're done with your first one!
> Congratulations...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**
>
>   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
> will receive. If you wish
>   to stay anonymous, you can 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: Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a
> very low example). So
>   then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 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 #5 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 #4 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 #3
>   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 200 letters with my name at
> #2 and they each only
>   receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons
> will all deliver this
>   message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons
> per 200 newsgroups
>   react, I will receive $15,625.00 with an original investment of only
> $6.00! AMAZING!
>
>   When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest
> posting in the newsgroups,
>   and send out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at
> number 6 and start
>   posting again. The thing to remember is that thousands of people from

>   give it a try. People have said, "What if the plan is played out and
> no one sends me the
>   money?" So what! It's only six bucks. What are the chances of that
