Hi.  I want to make lots of money.  I don't care if it's fast, because
I am smart enough to know that money you get fast is money you spend
fast.  Or, to quote that famous puzzle from the TV game show Wheel of
Fortune:  "A F**L AND HIS M*NEY ARE S**N PARTED".

Years ago, back when some sick kid in England was whining about an FCC
modem tax, I got a message titled "Make Money Fast."  I read through
it and saw that it was a pyramid scheme.  Even if the pyramid scheme
wasn't illegal in the United States (and many other places), it is
total and complete B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T!!!  If you want to figure it out
for yourself, get yourself a chess board.  Place one penny on the
first square.  Place two pennies on the second square.  Double that
and place four pennies on the third square.  Put 16 pennies on the
fourth square.  By the 64th square, you'll have a bazilion dollars
worth of pennies.

Sound hard to do?  You bet!  And that's the way "Make Money Fast"
works.  Or rather, the way it is SUPPOSED to work.  In reality, people
about the third level start losing out and it goes downhill from
there.  I know one guy who argued that it DID work and that he made
$1,900 from it.  Maybe, but that's only $1,900 -- not the "$50,000 in
two weeks" as claimed.  And I'll bet the guy has spent every penny of
that $1,900 too.  I'll also bet he couldn't do it again any time he
wanted to.  There will always be a few suckers who send money, but you
can bet the farm that 99% of the people who mail most of these things
don't send their money.  Besides, it is supposed to be a "guaranteed"
way to make money.  Who backs up the "guarantee"?

So what is my point?  A BRAND NEW WAY to make ME money!  Forget all
those mailing lists that are actually chain letters.  That makes it an
illegal double whammy.  

We are going to try this, and I'll GUARANTEE that it will WORK for ME,
unlike all those Dave Rhodes/Make Money Fast scheme scams.  Here's
what you do.

You take this list and mail one dollar to every person on the list.
Then take off the top name and move every name up one position.  Then
take the top name and move it down to the bottom.  Since this is not a
pyramid, the money giving is in a closed loop and doesn't spread out
like a pyramid scheme.

To make this even better, you don't have to send one dollar to each
name.  You can send $2, $5, $10, $20, $50 or $100 bills.  I believe
the $100 bill is the highest denomination regularly printed by the
United States of America and backed (snort) by the "full faith and
credit" thereof and all the un-gold that is not in Fort Knox.

If you are outside of the United States, don't fear.  You can join in
on this as well.  Instead of an imperialist Yankee dollar, you can
send any number of bills of your local currency.

Just remember, the more you send, the more I get, and the better this
deal works.  I simply cannot lose if everyone cooperates!  Send your
money now, now, now.  Do it before midnight tonight.  That's midnight
your local time.  I don't care what time it is here, because my mail
delivery comes once a day.

Now I must provide a "service" for what you are sending me so that it
will not be illegal.  If you will provide your return address, I will
send you a picture postcard with my "Report Number One" telling you
how many people joined in this effort.  I will mail these out just
like paychecks -- every two weeks.

Come on, and get with it!  What have I got to lose???
And, as always, FYDITM!  BDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD,
