Yeah, these schemes ALL say they're legal. Doesn't UCD have a policy 
against posting these things on our BB'S?

: The following letter was written by a participating member in this
: program.

: **************************************************************************

:  To those with the COMMON sense to participate in this easy money
: opportunity:
:  About six months ago I received the enclosed post in letter form.  I
: ignored it.  I received about five more of the same letter within the
: next two week.  I ignored them also.  Of course, I was tempted to follow
: through and dreamed of making thousands, but I was convinced it was just
: another gimmick and could not possibly work.
:  I was wrong!  About three weeks later I saw this same letter posted on
: a local bulletin board in Montreal.  I liked the idea of giving it a try
: with my computer.  I didn't expect much because I figured, if other
: people were as skeptical as I, they would not be too quick to part with
: $5.00.  But, I BUY LOTTERY TICKETS WEEKLY IN MY PROVINCE AND
: HAVE NOTHING TOO SHOW FOR IT BUT TICKET STUBS!  This week I decided to
: look at this as my weekly lottery purchase.  I addressed the envelopes
: and
: mailed out $1.00 in each as directed. Two weeks went by and I didn't
: receive anything in the mail.  The fourth week rolled around and I
: couldn't believe what happened!  I can not say that I received
: $50,000.00, but it was definitely well over $35,000.00!  For the first
: time in 10 years I got out of debt.  It was great.  Of course, it did
: not take me long to go through my earnings, so I am using this excellent
: money making opportunity once again.  FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AND GET
: READY TO ENJOY!
:  Please send a copy of this letter along with the enclosed letter so
: together we can convince people who are skeptical that this really does
: work!

:                                                         Good Luck,
:                                                         Charles Kust

: St Agathe Quebuec
: REMEMBER--We were ALL skeptical at first...now, we are in the $$$!!!
