Spend 5 minutes reading this, 5 one dollar bills, 5 stamps and 5 letters

to receive 50,000 in about 5 weeks.  Sounds too good?  It did to me,

too, until I investigated a little.  I always thought it was a scam ever

since I received similar offer in the regular mail.  Once I saw the same

stuff on the Internet, I still thought it was a scam.  But, I figured,

what do I have to lose in trying?  Five dollars and a little time? 

Well, I did eventually give in to the curiousity and tried it.  I

followed the instructions and waited for the response.  In two months

I've already received $47,692 in one dollar bills.  Imagine the look on

all my bill collectors' faces when I started to pay my debts in full in

one dollar bills!!!  It's too easy, and it requires so little.  What do

you have to lose?  (except your bills, of course!)



Here's the program -  Get 5 pieces of paper and write "Put me on your

mailing list" on it, which makes this program perfectly legal.  Wrap

each piece around $1 (making sure not to make the dollar visible) and

mail them to the addresses below:



1) John Deans

    9 John Tabor Trail

    Toronto, Ontario

    Canada  M1B 3C7



2) Rick Weber

    P.O. Box 178

    Pleasant Lake, MI  49272



3) Kevin Michael

    1006 Abercorn Place

    Sherwood, AR  72120



4) Shannon McGauley

    P.O. Box 368

    Albany, TX  76430



5) Johnathan Hamiter

    2045 W. Washington St.

    Orlando, FL  32805



Next, erase #1 from the list and move everyone else up one (2 becomes 1,

3 becomes 2, etc.).  Then, place your name and address as #5 on the

list.  Finally, place this and in as many newsgroups as you can (at

least 200, there's about 10,000).  You get to go through 5 steps, so the

more people you reach on the first step, the more money you will

receive.  That's it!  Just sit back and wait for the postal worker to

deliver all those one dollar bills!!



Remember, there's no reason to cheat and not send the five one dollar

bills.  Besides, after you see the income that $5 will bring in, you'll

be able to afford it!  Don't miss out!
