WHAT  IS  5. 00   WORTH  TO YOU ?  IS IT WORTH A CHANCE ?
        100%  LEGAL>>>>>>>> CHECKED AND VERIFIED
 IF your anything like me  you are going to look at this and think
Make money fast!!!  Yeh right, just another of many scams that are
out there.  ...Well... Thats what i thought and to be quite honest with
you i still believed it when i sent out my 5.00 investment in the mail.
I  can also now tell you that i have never been so wrong about something 
in my entire life.  It Works!!   But don't just take my word for it, read on and
see why and how it works. You will see that there really isnt any reason why 
it cant work and believe me..... it does!! 
  
 HOW  FAR  WILL   5.00  GO ?   JUST WAIT AND SEE!!!!

 

> Want to make MONEY fast ??????

> 

>  A little while back, I was browsing these news groups, 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", like most of

> us, but I was curious, like most of us, 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 addresses in the bottom of

> the list at #5, and post the article in at least 200 news groups.(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 US. Post Office

> (1-800-725-2161)and they confirmed that it is indeed legal!

> 

>  Then I invested the measly $5.00.............

> 

>  Well GUESS WHAT!!... with in 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 continued coming in. In my first week, I made

> about $20.00 to $30.00 dollars. By the end of the second week I had a

> mad 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.......

> 

>  It's certainly worth $5.00, and 5 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 5 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each

> piece of paper  "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST."  now get 5 $1.00

> bills 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

> and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service by this. THIS

> IS PERFECTLY LEGAL!

> 

>  Mail the 5 envelopes to the following addresses:

>  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 news groups. (I think there is close to 18,000 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 news groups? Well do exactly the

> following:

> 

>  FOR NETSCAPE USERS,

> 

>     1) Click on any news group, like normal. Then click on "To News',

> which is in the top left corner of the news group page.  This will bring

> up a message box.

> 

>     2) Fill in the SUBJECT with a flashy title, like the one I used,

> something to catch the eye!!!

> 

>     3) Now go to the message part of the box and retype this letter

> exactly as it is here, with exception of your few changes. (remember to

> add your name to number 5 and move the rest up)

> 

>     4) When your done typing in the WHOLE letter, click on 'FILE' above

> the send button. Then, 'SAVE AS..' DO NOT SEND YOUR ARTICLE UNTIL YOU

> SAVE IT. (so you don't have to type this 200 times :-)

> 

>     5) Now that you have saved the letter, go ahead and send your first

> copy! (click the 'SEND' button in the top left corner)

> 

>     6) This is where you post all 200! OK, go to ANY news group article

> and click the 'TO NEWS' button again. Type in your flashy subject in the

> 'SUBJECT BOX', then go to the message and place your cursor here. Now

> click on 'ATTACHMENT" which is right below the 'SUBJECT BOX'. Click on

> attach file then find your letter wherever you saved it. Click once on

> your file then click 'OPEN' then click 'OK'. If you did this right , you

> should see your filename in the 'ATTACHMENT BOX' and it will be shaded.

> 

>  NOW POST AWAY!!

> 

>  IF YOU'RE USING INTERNET EXPLORER:

> 

>   It's just as easy, holding down the left mouse button, highlight

> this entire article, then press the 'CTRL' key and 'C' key at the same

> time to copy this article. Then print the article for your records to

> have the names of those you will be sending $1.00 to.

> 

>  NEXT

> 

>  Go to the news groups and press 'POST AN ARTICLE' type in your flashy

> subject and click the large window below. Press 'CTRL' and 'V' and the

> article will appear in the message window. **BE SURE TO MAKE YOUR

> ADDRESS CHANGES TO THE 5 NAMES.** Now re-highlight the article and

> re-copy it so you have the changes.... then all you have to do for each

> news group is 'CTRL' and 'V' and press 'POST' . It's that easy!!

> 

>  THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different news groups and post

> away, after you get the hang of it , it will take about 30 seconds for

> each news group! **REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWS GROUPS 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

> day's! 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 con 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 #5 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 #4 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 #3 and only 5 replies each, I will

> bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and

> post the MINIMUM 200with my name at #2 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 #1 and they

> each only receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!! With a

> original investment of only $5.00! 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 #5 $15.00

> 

>     at #4 $225.00

> 

>     at #3 $3,375.00

> 

>     at #2 $50,625.00

> 

>     at #1 $759,375.00

> 

>  When your name is no  longer on the list, you just take the latest

> posting in the news groups, 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 happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest

> people who are joining the internet and news groups everyday and are

> willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 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 news groups 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 $150.00, and that's after seven or eight weeks! Then

> he sent the 5 $1.00 bills, people added him to their lists, and in 4-5

> weeks he had over $10k. This is the fairest and most honest way I have

> ever seen to share the wealth of the world with 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...
