Please read this. if everyone cooperates, this is a really great plan!
 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 $6.00!
 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 6 names and address
 stated in the article. You then place your own name and address in the
 bottom of the list at #6, 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 6 stamps and
 $6.00, 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
 (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal!

 Then I invested the measly $6.00.............plus postage.

 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
 $6.00, and 6 stamps, I spent more than that on the lottery!! 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 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each
piece
 of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST."

 Now get 6 US$1.00 bills (or equivalent in your local currency) and place
ONE
 inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through
 the envelope to prevent thievery.

Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. You should
 now have 6 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! The FBI should start searching for the true
identities of these
persons and verify if they do exist:  Not just Names for funnelling donation
funds..

It may be called mail fraud.

 #6 Freda Ann

 STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the
other
 names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR Name as number 6
on
 the list. (Use your 'delete" key to remove name #1 and move all other names
 up. Then change numbers and add your name as #6)

 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 computer's 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 else's positions), and add yourself in as #6.

 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.

 --------------------------------------------------
 INTERNET EXPLORER USERS:
 --------------------------------------------------

 Step 4. Go to newsgroups and select 'Post an Article'.

 Step 5. Fill in the subject.

 Step 6. Same as #6 above.

 Step 7. Hit the 'Post' button.
 -------------------------------------------

 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 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! 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 #6 $15.00
 at #5 $225.00
 at #4 $3,375.00
 at #3 $50,625.00
 at #2 $759,375.00
 at #1 $11,390,625.00
 IT I$ CALLED PYRAMID SCAM

 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 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 $6.00 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
