first, but
>hey I said what is $15.00? So, I followed the instructions in this email
and now
>I have already made $2500.00 in little over 1 week. The trick is sending
the

$71,000 Cash Hidden

>Parents of 15 year-old boy find $71,000 cash hidden in his closet Does this
headline look
>familiar? Of course it does. You most likely have just seen this story
recently featured on a
>major nightly news program (USA).
>
>His mother was cleaning and putting laundry away when she came across a
large brown
>paper bag that was suspiciously buried beneath some clothes and a
skateboard in the back
>of her son's closet. Nothing could have prepared her for the shock she got
when she
>opened the bag and found it was full of cash. Five dollar bills, twenties,
fifties and hundreds-
>all neatly rubber-banded in labeled piles. "My first thought was that he
had robbed a bank",
>says the 41- year-old woman, "There was over $71,000 dollars in that bag-
that's more than
>my husband earns in a year."
>
>The woman immediately called her husband at the car-dealership where he
worked to tell
>him what she'd discovered. He came home right away and they drove together
to the boy's
>school and picked him up. Little did they suspect that where the money came
from was
>more shocking than actually finding it in the closet.
>
>As it turns out, the boy had been sending out via E-mail on the internet a
type of 'chain-letter'
>to E-mail addresses that he obtained off of the internet. Everyday after
school for the past
>2 months, he had been doing this right on his computer in his bedroom. "I
just got the E-mail
>one day and I figured what the heck, I put my name on it like the
instructions said and I
>started sending it out", says the clever 15-year-old.
>
>The E-mail letter listed 3 addresses and contained instructions to send
three $5 dollar bills to
>the people on the list, then delete the top address and move the other 2
addresses up, and
>finally to add your name to the bottom of the list. The letter goes on to
state that you would
>receive several thousand dollars in 5$ dollar bills within 2 weeks if you
sent out the letter
>with your name at the bottom of the 3-address list "I get junk E-mail all
the time,and I really
>didn't think it was gonna work", the boy continues.
>
>Within the first few days of sending out the E-mail, the Post Office Box
that his parents had
>gotten for his video-game magazine subscriptions began to fill up with not
magazines, but
>envelopes containing $5 dollar bills. "about a week later I rode (my bike)
down to the post
>office and my box had 1 magazine and about 300 envelopes stuffed in it.
There was a yellow
>slip that said I had to go up to the (post office) counter- I thought I was
in trouble
>or something (laughs)". He goes on, "I went up to the counter and they had
a whole box of
>more mail for me. I had to ride back home and empty out my backpack 'cause
I couldn't carry
>it all".
>
>Over the next few weeks, the boy continued sending out the E-mail. "The
money just kept
>coming in and I just kept sorting it and stashing it in the closet, I
barely had time for my
>homework". He had also been riding his bike to several of the area's banks
>and exchanging the $5 bills for twenties, fifties and hundreds. "I didn't
want the banks to get
>suspicious so I kept riding to different banks with like five thousand at a
time in my
>backpack. I would usually tell the lady at the bank counter that my dad had
>sent me in (to exchange the money) and he was outside waiting for me. One
time the lady
>gave me a really strange look and told me that she wouldn't be able to do
it for me and my
>dad would have to come in and do it, but I just rode to the next bank down
the street
>(laughs)".
>
>Surprisingly, the boy didn't have any reason to be afraid. The reporting
news team examined
>and investigated the so-called 'chain-letter' the boy was sending out and
found that it wasn't
>a chain-letter at all. In fact, it was completely legal according to US
Postal and Lottery Laws,
>Title 18, Section 1302 and 1341, or Title 18, Section 3005 in the US code,
also in the code of
>federal regulations, Volume 16, Sections 255 and 436, which states a
product or service must
>be exchanged for money received.
>
>Every five dollar bill that he received contained a little note that read,
"Please add me to your
>mailing list". This simple note made the letter legal because he was
exchanging a service
>(adding the purchasers name to his mailing list) for a five dollar fee.
Here is the letter that
>the 15-year-old was sending out by E-mail, you can do the exact same thing
he was doing,
>simply by following the instructions in the letter.
>
>---------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------
>Here are instructions on how to make $10,000 US cash in the next 2 weeks:
>
>There are 3 addresses listed below.
>
>Send the three people on the list a $5 bill wrapped in 2 pieces of paper
(to securely hide it),
>along with a note that says: "Please add me to your list".
>
>Then delete the top name, move the other 2 up and put your name at the
bottom.
>
>Now start sending this ENTIRE E-mail back out to people. When 20 people
receive it, those 20
>people will send you $5 and move your name up to the middle position and
they will each
>send out 20 emails. That totals 400 people that will receive this letter
with your name in
>the middle. Then, those 400 people will send you $5 and move your name to
the top!
>
>HERE IS WHERE IT GET'S VERY INTERSTING!
>
>When 400 people email it to 20 others, 8,000 will recieve the email with
your name at the top!
>8,000 people each sending you a $5 bill = $40,000 cash. That's if everyone
responds to this E-
>mail, but not everyone will, so you can expect more realistically to
receive about $10,000 cash
>$5 bills in your mailbox. But some of you may receive A WHOLE LOT MORE!
>
>This will work for anyone, anywhere in the world in any country, but send
only a US CASH $5
>bill.
>
>The more E-mails you send out, the more cash you will receive. If each
person sends out 100
>E-mails, there will be 1,000,000 people that receive this letter when your
name reaches the
>top. If only 1% of those people respond, you will get $50,000 cash.
>
>Here is the list:
