I 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!" as most people

probably thought.  But also, like most people, I was curious, 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

address in the list at #5, remove the #1 person, move everyone up a

position, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups.  (There are

more than 18,000).  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 do I have to lose except 5 stamps,

envelopes, sheets of paper and $5.00, right?



Like most of us, I was still a little skeptical and 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!!!...Within 7 days, I started getting money in the

mail!  I was shocked!  I still figured it to end soon, and didn't give

it another thought.  But the money just kept coming in.  In my first

week, I made about $20.00 to $30.00.  By the end of the second week, I

had made a total of just over $1,000.00!!!  In the third week, I had

over $5,000.00 and it was still growing.  This is now my fourth week,

and I have made a total of just over $20,000.00, and it is still

coming!!!



It's certainly worth the $5.00 and 5 stamps.  I spent more than that in

1 week on the lottery!!!



Let me tell you how this works, and most importantly, why it works.

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 only 3 easy steps:



STEP 1:  Get 5 seperate pieces of paper and write the following on each

piece, "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 envelopes to prevent thievery (THIS STEP IS VERY

IMPORTANT!!!).  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:



1)     T. Lemons     1075 Beech Grove Rd.

                     Ashland City, TN 37015 USA



2)     B. Reilly     2635 SW 35 PL. #2006

                     Gainesville, FL 32608 USA



3)     L. Taylor     2422 N. Wycoff Ave.

                     Bremerton, WA 98312 USA



4)     J.Day      3958 E. 9th St.

                  Pomona, CA 91766 USA



5)     C.King	  927 North Fourth St.
		  
		  Festus, MO  63028



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

#5 on the bottom of the list.



STEP 3:  Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as

close to the original as possible.  Now, post your ammended article to,

at least, 250 nesgroups.  All you need is 250, but remember, the more

you post, the more money you make!  Don't know how to postin the

newsgroups?  Well, do exactly the following:



FOR NETSCAPE USERS,



1)  Click on any newsgroup, like normal.  Then click on "To:News", which

is the top left corner of the newsgroup page.  This will bring up a

message box.



2)  Fill in the SUBJECT with a flashy title, like the one that 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 the exception of a few changes.  Remember to

add your name to the list, and move everyone up.



4)  When you're 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!!!  (Then you won't have to retype it 250 times).



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

copy! (Click on the "SEND" button in the top left corner).



6)  This is where you will post to 250 newsgroups!  OK, go to any

newsgroup article and click the "TO:NEWS" button again.  Type in your

flashy subject in the "SUBJECT BOX", then place the cursor in the

message area.  Now, click on "ATTACHMMENT" which is right below the

"SUBJECT BOX".  Click on the attach file then find your letter where you

saved it>  Click once on your file, then click "OPEN", then click "OK".

If you did thid 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, and so

you will have the names of the people to who you are to send the $1.00.

Go to the newsgroups 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

recopy it so you save the changes...then, all you have to do for each

newsgroup is "CTRL" and "V" and press "POST".  It's that easy!!



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***  iF YOU
