A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like
you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you
could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial
investment of $30!  So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam."
But like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said
that you send $5 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the
article.  You then place your own name and address in the bottom of
the list at #6 and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups (there
are thousands).  No catch, that was it.  So after thinking it over I
thought about trying it.  I    figured, "What have I got to lose
except $30, right?"  Then I invested the measly $30.  Well GUESS
WHAT!!  Within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail!  I was
shocked!  I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming
in.  In my first week, I made about $125.00.  By the end of the second
week I had made a total of over $10,000!  In the third week I had over
$40,000 and its still growing.  This is now my fourth week, and I have
made a total of just over $100,000.  It's still coming in rapidly.
It's certainly worth $30 and 6 stamps.  I have spent more than that on
the lottery!!  Let me tell you how this works, and most importantly,
why it works.  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, you will start making more
than you thought possible by doing something so easy!
 SUGGESTION: 
Read this entire message carefully!  Print it out or download it. 
Follow these directions and watch the money come in!  It's easy.  It's
legal.  And, your investment is only $30 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 $120,000 or more can be yours in 20-60 days.  This program remains
successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants.
Please continue its success by carefully adhering to the instructions.
 Here are the 4 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 $5
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.  Next,
place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them.  MAKE SURE
THAT THERE ARE ENOUGH STAMPS ON YOUR ENVELOPES (for international
purposes).  You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece
of paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a $5
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!  Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses...
1) David Farias, 10546 Barada, Houston, TX 77034  
2) Derek Jones, 1156 Roland #9, Green Bay, WI, 54303
3) Ravi Sandhu, 13942 Woodson Ave., Caruthers, CA 93609
4) Eric Roschelle, 1437 Church St., Splendora, TX  77372
5) B. Gerten, 1124 Colwick Dr., Dayton, OH 45420
6) Pat Barnett 9360 N. Blackstone ave #211 Fresno, Ca. 93720

STEP 2) Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above and move
the other names up.  6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc, and add YOUR name
becomes number 6 on the list.

STEP 3) Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as
close to the original as possible.

STEP 4) Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups.  I
think there are close to 24,000 groups. All you need is 200, but
remember, the more you post, the more money you make!  **EVERYBODY
AROUND THE WORLD CAN DO IT!!! ** This is perfectly legal!  If you have
any doubts, refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the postal lottery
laws.  Keep a copy of these stats for yourself, and whenever
You need money 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 of integrity, the
program will continue and the money that so many others have received
will come your way.  NOTE:  You may want to retain every name and
addresses sent to you, either on a computer or hard copy and keep the
notes people sent you.  This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a
service.  Also, it might be a good idea to wrap the $5 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 $5 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 $30 ($5 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, drag
your cursor to the bottom of this document, 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 MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A
MINIMUM OF 200.  That's it!  You will begin receiving money 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 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a
very low example).  So then I made $25.00 with my name at #6 on the
letter.  Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $5 make the
MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons
respond to each of the original 5. That is another $125.00 for me. 
Now those 25 each make the MINIMUM 200 posts with my name at #4 and
only 5 replies each, I will bring in
An additional $625.00!  Now, those 125 persons turn around and post
the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I
will make an additional $3125.00!  OK, now here is the fun part, each
of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and
they each only receive 5 replies.  That just made me $15,625.00!!
Those 3,125 persons will all deliver the message to 200 newsgroups
with my name at #1 and if still only 5 persons per 200 newsgroups
react, I will receive $78,125.00 with an original investment of only
$30!  AMAZING!  When your name is no longer on the list, you just take
the latest posting in the newsgroups; send out another $30 to names on
The list putting your name at number 6 again, and start posting again.
  The thing to remember is 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 $30 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 money?"  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.  Don't let this exciting
opportunity pass you by!  GO FOR IT AND YOU WILL SMILE WITHIN WEEKS AS
MANY OTHERS HAVE!
