IT ISN'T TO GOOD TO BE TRUE!!!������� PLEASE, PLEASE, READ ON!!!!!!!!!!
��������������� IT'S REALLY, ACTUALLY TRUE!!!!� HONEST!!!!
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 scam",but like most
of us, but 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.� 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 5 stamps
and
$5.00, right?
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
(1-800-724-2151) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal!
Then I invested the measly $5.00.............
Well GUESS WHAT!!... within 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
rapidly.......
It's certainly worth $5.00, and 5 stamps.
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 US$1.00
bills (or equivalent in your local currency) 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,
your name and address, and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is
creating a service by this. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL!
Mail the 5 envelopes to the following addresses:



#1 Niall O'Buachalla
����� 95 Fairways
����� Rathfarnham
����� Dublin 14
����� Ireland

#2 B Gash
����� PO Box 434
����� Frankfort, Kentucky 40602-0434
����� USA

#3 M Scobel
����� 10 Hardwood Grove
����� St.Catharines, Ontario L2P 1K4
����� Canada

#4 D Throck
����� 1307 Beverly Drive
����� Richmond, VA, 23229
����� USA

#5 C Fields	
      9809 Village Briar
      San Antonio, TX 78250	
      USA



STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the
other names up (5 becomes 4, 4 becomes 3, 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 24,000 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:
-----------------------------------------------------------
DIRECTIONS - 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 click and hold down your mouse button. While
continuing to hold down the mouse button, drag your cursor to the
bottom of this document and over to just after the last
character, and release the mouse button. At this point the entire
letter should be highlighted. Then, from the 'edit' pull down
menu at the top of your screen select 'copy'. This will copy
the entire letter into the computers memory.
Step 2.� Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the
top of the blank page. From the 'edit' pull down menu select
'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so
that you can add your name to the list. Remember to eliminate the
#1 position, move everyone up a spot (re-number everyone elses
positions), and add yourself in as #5.
Step 3.� Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want
to do your postings in different sittings, you'll always have
this file to go back to.
----------------------------------------
FOR NETSCAPE USERS:
----------------------------------------
Step 4.� Within the Netscape program, go to the pull-down window
entitled 'Window' select 'NetscapeNews'. Then from the pull down
menu 'Options', select 'Show all Newsgroups'. After a few moments
a list of all the newsgroups on your server will show up. Click
on any newsgroup you desire. From within this newsgroup, click on
the 'TO NEWS' button, which should be in the top left corner of
the newsgroups page. This will bring up a message box.
Step 4.� Fill in the Subject. This will be the header that
everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a
particular group.
Step 5.� Highlight the entire contents of your .txt file and copy
them using the same technique as before. Go back to the newsgroup
'TO NEWS' posting you are creating and paste the letter into the
body of your posting.
Step 7.� Hit the 'Send' Button in the upper left corner. You're
done with your first one! Congratulations...
--------------------------------------------------
INTERNET EXPLORER USERS:
--------------------------------------------------
Step 4.� Go to newsgroups and select 'Post an Article'.
Step 4.� Fill in the subject.
Step 5.� Same as #5 above
Step 7.� Hit the 'Post' button.
-------------------------------------------
THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroupes 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 reciving money from around the world within
day's! You may eventually wany to rent a P.O.Box due to the large
amount of mail you 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.**

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 again. And start posting again.
The thing to remember is, do you realize that thousands of people all
over
the world are joining the internet and reading these articles
everyday, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! 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 everday and are
willing
to
give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000
to 40,000 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 $140.00, and
that's after seven or eight weeks! Then he sent the 5 $1.00 bills,
people
added him to their lists, and in 4-4 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!! :-)
