> IT DOES WORK! I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it.

> over $100,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week
> and I have made a total of just over $420,000.00 and it's still coming

> will start making more money than you thought possible by doing
> something so easy! Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully!
> (print it out or download it.) Follow the simple directions and watch
> the money come in! It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only
> $60.00 (Plus postage)
> IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not
> illegal; and it is 99% no risk - it really works! If all of the
> following instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary
> dividends. PLEASE NOTE: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and
> $500,000 or more can be yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains
> successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants.
> Please continue its success by carefully adhering to the instructions.
> You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business
> your product is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in the
> business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are
> happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made from
> the mailing lists is secondary to the income which is made from people
> like you and me asking to be included in that list. Here are the 4
> easy steps to success:
> STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each
> piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Once added to the
> list, each person will send you a new component and/or moneymaking
> advice to help you along the way. This advice has been passed down
> person to person and is very helpful. Now get 6 US $10.00 bills (or a
> combination of bills totaling $10) 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
> $10.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS
> ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are
> paying for it! 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. Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:
>
> #1) Ben McNeally 3019 Restormel St.Duluth, MN 55806
> #2) Natalie Walker 643 North 47th Avenue WestDuluth, MN 55807
> #3) AJ Armbrust 3731 Grand AvenueDuluth, MN 55807
> #4) Timothy Zabe l102 Gilderbrook rd Greenville, SC 29615
> #5) Mike G PO BOX 45033 Lower Sackville, Nova Scotia, Canada B4E-2Z6
> #6) James Rush 621QueenAvenueMinneapolis,MN55411
>
> 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.
> 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 250 newsgroups. (I think there are close to 24,000 groups) All
> you need is 250, but remember, the more you post, the more money you
> make! You won't get very much unless you post like crazy.
> :)This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18
> Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws. Keep a copy of these
> steps for yourself and, whenever you need money, you can use it again,
> and again. PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful
> because of the honesty and integrity of the participants and by their
> carefully adhering to the directions. Look at it this way. If you are
> of integrity, the program will continue and the money that so many
> others have received will come your way. NOTE: You may want to retain
> every name and address sent to you, either on a computer or hard copy
> and keep the notes people send you. This VERIFIES that you are truly
> providing a service. (Also, it might be a good idea to wrap the cash
> in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail theft.) So, as each post is
> downloaded and the directions carefully followed, six members will be
> reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer with one dollar
> each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so that when your
> name reaches the #1 position you will be receiving hundreds of
> thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What an opportunity for only $60.00
> ($10.00 for each of the first six people listed above) Send it now,
> add your own name to the list and you're in business!
> DIRECTIONS ----- FOR 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
> drag your cursor to the bottom of this document (so that the document
> is "highlighted"), and select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will
> copy the entire letter into the computer's memory.
> Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file (such as in Microsoft Word) and
> place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu
> select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so
> that you can add your name to the list.
> Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do
> your postings in different settings, you'll always have this file to
> go back to.
> Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for
> various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites,
> discussions.)
> Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new
> message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste
> from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that
> everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a
> particular group, click the post message button. You're done with your
> first one! Congratulations...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 250** 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 will 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 250 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a
> very low example). So then I made $50.00 with my name at #6 on the
> letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the
> MINIMUM 250 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons
> respond to each of the original 5, that is another $250.00 for me, now
> those 25 each make 250 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5
> replies each, I will bring in an additional $1250.00! Now, those 125
> persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 250 with my name at #3 and
> only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $6260.00! OK,
> now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 250
> letters with my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that
> just made me $31,250.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this
> message to 250 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons
> per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $150,625,00! With an original
> investment of only $60.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the
> list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out
> another $60.00 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 upon 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 $60.00 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 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 really work.
> NOTE: This program can and will work for you as long as you post the
> message in at least 250 newsgroups (e.g. message boards). This might
> take a long time, probably several hours. But remember, as far fetched
> and ridiculous as it seems, if you follow all the instructions of this
> system, you will become rich within an extremely short period of time.
> Believe me, IT'S WORTH IT!!! I just urge you to be fair and honest. As
> long as each person (including you!) sends $10 to everyone on the
> list, everybody (also including you!) will become extremely wealthy
> within just a couple of months, and will start receiving money within
> the first week or two!
> Legal Note: This system is perfectly legal. It is not a lottery or a
> scheme intending to defraud, it is rather a business. It is part of
> the mail order business. By receiving money from others, you do not
> offer them a lottery or any prize based on chance; you simply offer
> them a service (i.e. placing them on your mailing list), which they
> request in their letter. By definition, this is a service: a consumer
> desires something (being put on your mailing list) and is willing to
> pay for it, and you fulfill their desire by performing the service of
> putting their name on your mailing list for a set fee. By sending
> money to others and writing "please place me on your mailing list",
> you do not ask to be entered into a lottery or win a prize based on
> chance, you are asking for a service. Therefore, this system is
> perfectly legal.
