LOOK, MY NAME IS MICHAEL AND I AM AN AVERAGE GUY, A SCHOOL TEACHER, AND I 
DIDN'T BELIEVE THIS EITHER, BUT IT WORKS. READ THE FOLLOWING. READ CAREFULLY 
AND A TON OF MONEY WILL COME YOUR WAY. GET $40,000 WITH ONLY 6 BUCKS!!! THIS 
IS NOT A SCAM!!! A while back, I was browsing the newsgroups, and I came 
across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of CASH 
within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00 plus stamps! So I 
thought, "Yeah, right, this must be a scam!" But like most of us I was 
curious and kept reading. It said that if you send $1.00 to each of the 6 
names and addresses listed in the article, you could make thousands in a 
very short period of time. You then place your own name and address at the 
bottom of the list at #6, and post the article to at least 300 newsgroups. 
(There are about 32,000 of them out there and that's quite a large market 
pool). No catch, that was it. Even though the investment was a measly $6, I 
had three questions that needed to be answered before I could get involved 
in this sort of thing. 1. IS THIS REALLY LEGAL? I called a lawyer first. The 
lawyer was a little sceptical that I would actually make any CASH but he 
said it WAS LEGAL if I wanted to try it. I told him it sounded a lot like a 
chain letter but the details of the system (SEE BELOW) actually made it a 
legitimate legal business. 2. IS OK WITH THE POST OFFICE OR IS IT MAIL 
FRAUD? I called them: 1-800-725-2161 and they confirmed THIS IS ABSOLUTELY 
LEGAL! (See 18, h sections1302 NS 1341 of Postal Lottery Laws). This 
clarifies the program of collecting names and addresses for a mailing list. 
3. IS IT RIGHT? Well, everyone who sends me a
buck has a good chance of getting A LOT of CASH ... a much better chance 
than buying a lottery ticket!!! So, having these questions answered, I 
invested EXACTLY $7.92 ... six $1.00 bills and six 32 cent postage stamps 
... and boy am I glad I did!!! Within 7 days,
I started getting CASH in the mail! I was shocked! I figured it would end 
soon and didn't give it another thought. But the CASH continued coming in. 
In my first week I made between $20 to $30. By the end of the second week I 
had a made a total of $1,000.00. In the third
week I had over $10,000.00 and it was still growing. This is now my fourth 
week and I have made a total of just over $42,000 and it's still coming in 
..... It's certainly worth $6.00 and 6 stamps !!! Also, make sure you print 
a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you 
need it. I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you 
will start making more CASH 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 CASH come in! It's 
easy.
It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus postage) IMPORTANT: 
This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not illegal; and it is 
virtually 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 $50,000 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 CASH 
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." Now 
get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so 
the bill will not be seen through the envelope (to prevent thievery). 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 a $1.00 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) P.L. P.O. Box 30751 Philadelphia, 
PA 19104 #2) Loc Nguyen P.O. Box 30719 Philadelphia, PA 19104 #3) Roy Bryant 
911 St. Lukes Richardson, TX 75080 #4)
Michael Repzynski 704 Cumslo Road Gray, GA 31032 #5) Dave Thomas 1221 
Manchester Road Akron, OH 44307 #6) Andy goetz 227 Palmer Hill RD Port 
Crane, NY  13833  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 300 newsgroups. (I think there 
are close to 32,000 groups) All you
need is 300, but remember, the more you post, the more CASH you make! This 
is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to 18 Sec. 1302 & 1341 of 
the Postal lottery laws.  Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, 
whenever you need CASH, 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 a person of 
integrity, the program will continue and the CASH 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 $1 bill 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 thousands of DOLLARS in CASH!!! What an opportunity for only $6.00 
($1.00 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 
letter, 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 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 CASH YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO 
POST A MINIMUM OF 300** That's it! You will begin receiving CASH 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 300 postings, say I receive
only 7 replies (a very low example). So then I made $7.00 with my name at #6 
on the letter. Now, each of the 7 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the 
MINIMUM 300 postings, each with my  name at #5 and only 7 persons respond to 
each of the 7 original 7, that is another $49.00 for me, now those 49 each 
make 300 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 7 replies each, I will 
bring in an additional $343.00! Now, those 343 persons turn around and post 
the MINIMUM 300 with my name at #3 and only receive 7 replies each, I will 
make an additional $2401.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 
2401 persons post a MINIMUM 300 letters with my name at #2 and they each 
only receive 7 replies, that just made me $16,807.00!!! Those 16807 persons 
will all deliver this message to 300 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if 
still 7 persons per 300 Newsgroups react I will receive $117,649.00! With an 
original investment of only $6.00! And some stamps. AMAZING! When your name 
is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the 
newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 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 of people all over the world are joining the internet and reading 
these articles everyday? JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So, can you afford $6.00 
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 CASH?
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.  ** By the way, if you try to deceive 
people by posting the messages with your name in the
list and not sending the CASH to the rest of the people already on the list, 
you will NOT get as much. Someone I talked to knew someone who did that and 
he only made about $150.00, and that's after seven or eight weeks! Then he 
sent the 6 $1.00 bills, people added him to
their lists, and in 4-5 weeks he had over $10k. This is the fairest and most 
honest way I have ever seen to share the wealth of the world without costing 
anything but our time!!! You also may want to buy mailing and e-mail lists 
for future CASH. Make sure you print this
article out RIGHT NOW! Also, try to keep a list of everyone that sends you 
CASH and always keep an eye on the newsgroups to make sure everyone is 
playing fairly. Remember, HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY. You don't need to 
cheat the basic idea to make the CASH!! GOOD LUCK to all and please play 
fairly and reap the huge rewards from this, which is tons of extra CASH. 
Please remember to declare your extra income. Thanks once again... "People 
have asked me if this is really legal. Well, it is! You are using the 
Internet to advertise your business.
What is that business? You are creating a mailing list of people who are 
interested in home based computer and online business and methods of 
generating income at home. Remember, people send you a small fee to be added 
to your mailing list. It is legal. what will you
do with your list of thousands of names? That's up to you." So, build your 
mailing list, keep good accounts, declare the income and pay your taxes. By 
doing this you prove your business intentions. Keep an eye on the newsgroups 
and when the cash has stopped coming
(that means your name is no longer on the list), you just take the latest 
posting at the \newsgroups, send another $6.00 to the names stated on the 
list, make your corrections (put your name at #6) and start posting again. 
NOTES: *1. In some countries, the export
of the country's exchange is illegal. But you can get the license to do this 
from the post office, explaining the above statements (that you have an 
online business, etc. You may have to pay an extra tax, but that's OK, the 
amount of the incoming CASH is HUGE! And as I said, a FEW countries have 
that restriction . *2. You may want to buy mailing and e-mail lists for 
future CASH. (Or Database or Spreadsheet software.) *3. If you're really not 
sure or still think this can't be for real, please print a copy of this 
article and give it to someone who really needs the CASH, and see what 
happens. *4. You will start getting responses within 1-2 weeks, it depends. 
***ALSO REMEMBER*** SEND YOUR $1 OUT TO EVERYONE ON THE LIST, EVEN IF THEY 
ARE NOT FROM THE U.S. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR??? 
$$$!!!$$$!!!$$$!!!$$$!!!$$$!!!$$$!!!$$$!!!$$$!!!$$$!!! GOOD LUCK!!!
