:>INSTRUCTIONS:
:>
:>1.  Take a sheet of paper and write on it the following: "Please
:>add my name to your list".  This creates a service out of this
:>money making system and thus making it completely legal.  You are
:>not just randomly sending a dollar to someone, you are paying one
:>dollar for a legitimate service.  Make sure  you include your name
:>and address.  I assure you that,  again,  this is completely
:>legal!  For a neat little twist, also write what slot their name
:>was in:  "You were in slot 3", just to add a little fun!  This is
:>all about having fun and making money at the same time!
:>
:>2.  Now fold this sheet of paper around a dollar bill, (no checks
:>or money orders), and put them into an envelope and send it on its
:>way to the five people listed.  The folding of the paper around
:>the bill will ensure its arrival to its recipient. THIS STEP IS
:>IMPORTANT!!  (Otherwise, some unscrupulous mail delivery person
:>may see what's inside and start helping himself to all the
:>thousands of envelopes arriving!)
:>
:>3.  Now listen carefully, here's where you get YOUR MONEY COMING
:>TO YOUR MAILBOX.  Look at the list of five people;  remove the
:>first name from position one and move everyone on the list up
:>one slot on the list.  Position 2 name will now move to the
:>position 1 slot,  position 3 will now become position 2, 4 will
:>be 3, 5 will be 4.  Now put your name, address, zipcode AND
:>COUNTRY in position 5, the bottom position on the list.
:>
:>4.  Now upload this updated file to as many newsgroups and local
:>bulletin boards' message areas & file sections as possible.  Give
:>a catchy description of the file so it gets noticed!!  Such as:
:>"NEED FAST CASH?, HERE IT IS!" or "NEED CASH TO PAY OFF YOUR
:>DEBTS??",  etc.  And the more uploads, the more money you will
:>make, and of course, the more money the others on the list will
:>make too.  LET'S ALL TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER BY BEING HONEST AND
:>BY PUTTING FORTH 120 PERCENT INTO THIS PROFITABLE & AMAZING
:>SYSTEM!!!  You'll reap the benefits, believe me!!! Set a goal for
:>the number of total uploads you'll post, such as 15-20 postings
:>or more!  Always have a goal in mind!!! If you can UUE encode the
:>file when uploading,  that will make it easier for the people to
:>receive it and have it downloaded to their hard drive.  That way
:>they get a copy of the article right on their computer without
:>hassles of viewing and then saving the article from the File menu.
:>DON'T ALTER THE FILE TYPE, leave it as an MS-DOS Text file. The
:>best test is to be able to view this file using Microsoft's
:>Notepad for Windows 3.x or WordPad for Windows '95.  (Do NOT use
:>the WordWrap option.  It will screw the margins up!) If the margins
:>look right without making the screen slide left or right when at
:>the ends of the sentences, you're in business!
:>
:>5.  If you need help uploading, simply ask the sysop of the BBS,
:>or "POST" a message on a newsgroup asking how to post a file,
:>tell them who your Internet provider is and PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS BE
:>GLAD TO HELP.  I would try to describe how to do it but there are
:>simply too many internet software packages with slightly different
:>yet relatively simple ways to post or upload a file.  Just ask for
:>help or look in the help section for 'posting'. I do know that for
:>GNN, you simply select 'POST' then enter a catchy description
:>under the subject box, choose 'ATTACH', selecting 'UUE' and NOT
:>'TXT', then choose 'Browse' to go look for the file. Find your
:>text file, i.e. CASH.TXT, and click on it and choose 'OK'.  Place
:>a one line statement in the main body section of the message post
:>screen. Something like "Download this to read how to get cash
:>arriving in your mailbox with no paybacks!" or whatever.  Just
:>make sure it represents its true feasibility, NOT something
:>like... "Get one million dollars flooding in your mailbox in two
:>days!"  You'll never get ANY responses!
:>
:>6.  And this is the step I like.  JUST SIT BACK AND ENJOY LIFE
:>BECAUSE CASH IS ON ITS WAY!!  Expect to see a little money
:>start to trickle in around 2 weeks, but AT ABOUT WEEKS 3 & 4, THE
:>MONEY STORM WILL HIT YOUR MAILBOX!! All you have to do is take it
:>out of the mailbox and try not to scream too loud (outside anyway)
:>when you realize YOU HIT THE BIG TIME AT LAST!!
:>
:>7.  So go PAY OFF YOUR BILLS AND DEBTS and then get that something
:>special you always wanted or buy that special person in your life
:>(or the one you want in your life) a gift they'll never forget.
:>ENJOY LIFE!
:>
:>8.  Now when you get low on this money supply,  simply re-activate
:>this file again; Reposting it in the old places where you
:>originally posted and possibly some new places you now know of.
:>Don't ever lose this file, always keep a copy at your reach for
:>when you ever need cash.  THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE TOOL THAT YOU CAN
:>ALWAYS RE-USE TIME AND TIME AGAIN WHEN CASH IS NEEDED!
