NO - NOT AT A CASINO - RIGHT HERE ON THE INTERNET!

>Taking 5 minutes to read this text may be one of the best decisions you
>ever made.

>My name is not important. What is important is what happened to me.

>In December 1994, my business went bankrupt because of the poor
>state of the economy. My cars were repossessed and debt collectors were 
>hounding me like you would not believe. I owed thousands and bankruptcy 
>seemed to be my only future. My family, my reputation, my sanity and my
>life was at stake. I became very ill.

>On 9 January 1995, I saw an article in an Internet Newsgroup telling me 
>I could make $50 000 within 4 weeks for an investment of only $5. I 
>thought it was a huge joke! I spoke to my attorney and friends about it 
>and they thought likewise. But after three days of desperate struggle 
>in court to keep from going bankrupt, I decided I had nothing to lose.

>My family and I in desperation, grasped at straws and sent $1 by snail
>mail to each of 5 names and addresses specified in the article. We then 
>placed our own name and address in the article and posted it in 200 
>other newsgroups.

>Two weeks later, I started receiving money in the mail! I could not 
>believe it! Hundreds of dollars turned into thousands, and in the 4 weeks,
>I received a total of $57 883. It came from all over the world.

>If you follow the 3 steps below, there is no reason whatsoever why the
>same shouldn't happen to you. This is a perfectly legitimate investment
>opportunity. You invest $5 and you receive a return on your investment.
>So does the next investor. NOT ILLEGAL, NOT A CHAIN LETTER - PERFECTLY
>LEGITIMATE!

>OBVIOUSLY, IF YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED, THEN DON'T PARTICIPATE. BUT PLEASE
>PRINT THIS ARTICLE AND GIVE IT TO SOMEONE WHO MAY WISH TO TAKE ADVANTAGE.

>The procedure is very simple.

>STEP 1. Write your name and address on 5 separate pieces of paper with
>the words "PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING LIST". Fold a $1 note or money
>order or bank draft in each of the pieces of paper and mail them to the
>following five addresses:

>1. SHANE MILLER, 2108 JOLINE, WICHITA FALLS, TX 76308 USA
>2. KEVIN KOPEC, 78 MICHAEL DRIVE, RED BANK, NJ 07701 USA
>3. GREG CARROLL, 3658 MAURICE AVE, FT. WORTH, TX 76111 USA
>4. MIKE BUREK, 2007 SUNNY BROOK DRIVE, AUSTIN, TX 78723-3451 USA
>5. TINA SIMPSON,P.O.BOX 21721,COLUMBUS,OHIO,43221 USA
>STEP 2. Now remove the 1st name on the list, move the other 4 names up
>(5 becomes 4, 4 becomes 3 etc) and put your name and address as number 5
>on the list. You can do this by re-typing this article or simply editing
>and re-posting it in this or another newsgroup.

>STEP 3. Post your amended article to at least 200 new groups (there are
>17 000 of them).

>You are now in the Mail Order Investment Business and you will start 
>receiving $1 returns by mail within a week or two. The more newsgroups
>you post to, the bigger your return will be. You may want to rent a Post
>Office Box to handle the volume of mail you are likely to receive.

>If you wish to remain anonymous, you can use a pseudonym such as 
>"The Manager" or "The Investor", but make sure your address is correct!

>NOW LET ME TELL YOU WHY THIS SYSTEM WORKS!

>Of every 200 postings I made, I received an average of 5 replies, YES -
>ONLY 5, each with a $1 bill enclosed. You make $5 for every 200 
>postings WITH YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 5. 

>Each person who sent you $1, now also makes let's say,only 200 
>additional postings WITH YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 4, i.e. 1000 postings.
>On average therefore, 50 people will send you $1 with your name at
>number 4. You make $50.

>Your 50 new agents make 200 posting each WITH YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 3
>or 10 000 postings - average return 500 at $1 each is $500. They
>make 200 postings each WITH YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 2 = 100 000 postings
>= 5 000 returns at $1 each = $5 000.

>Finally, 5 000 people make 200 postings each WITH YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 1
>and you get a return of $50 000 before you name drops off the list. 
>AND THAT'S IF EVERYONE DOWN THE LINE ONLY MAKES 200 POSTINGS! Total 
>income in one cycle = $55 500.

>From time to time, when your name is no longer on the list, you take
>the latest posting that is appearing in the newsgroups, SEND OUT
>ANOTHER $5 TO THE NAMES THAT ARE ON THE LIST, PUT YOUR NAME IN
>AT NUMBER 5 AND START POSTING AGAIN. Remember, 200 postings is only
>a guideline. The more you post, the greater the return. 

>Let's review the reasons why you should do this: THE ONLY COST FACTORS
>ARE 5 STAMPS, 5 ENVELOPES, AND 5 $1 BILLS. Anyone can afford five 
>dollars to put into such an effortless investment with SPECTACULAR 
>RETURNS.

>Some people have said to me "What happens if the scheme is 'played
>out' and no one sends me any money"? Big deal! So you lose $5 - but
>what are the chances of that happening?

>Do you realise how many Internet Users there are? Do you realise how
>many times this scheme can be utilised over and over again - with 
>COMPLETELY NEW people participating? 

>There are not HUNDREDS, NOT EVEN THOUSANDS, BUT HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS
>OF NEW INTERNET USERS EVERY MONTH!

>Remember, read the instructions carefully and play FAIRLY...that's
>the only way this will work. Get a printout so you can refer back
>to this article easily.

>Try to keep a list of everyone that sends you money and always keep
>an eye on the newsgroup postings to make sure everyone is playing
>fairly. You know where your name should be.

>REMEMBER - HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY.

>ENJOY!
