Don't trust me, trust yourself, just read on!! 

This is simple, safe, in it really works!  For $6.00 (U.S.), 6 stamps, and
about an
hour of your time, you could earn a years salary in a month.  Some too good
to be
true, but just imagine.  What if it works? WHAT IF IT REALLY WORKS?!

A little while back, I was browsing these newsgroups, just like you are
now, and
came across in article similar to this that said you could make thousands
of dollars
within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00!

So I thought, "Yeah, right, this must be a scam!"  But like most of us, I
was
curious.  Like most of us, I kept reading.  Anyway, it said that if you
send $1.00 to
each of the 6 names and addresses stated in the article, you could make
thousands in a very short 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 200
newsgroups (their
are about 40,000 of them) or email them to friends or email lists.

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 skeptical that I
would actually
make any money 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.   WOULD THE POST OFFICE THE OK  WITH THIS?
     I called them: 1-800-725-2161 and they confirmed THIS IS ABSOLUTELY
LEGAL!   (See title 18, h sections 1302 NS  1341 of Postal Lottery Laws)
This
clarifies the program of collecting names and addresses for a mailing list.

 3.  IS THIS MORAL?
     Well, everyone who sends me a buck has a good chance of getting A LOT
of
money ...  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 seven days, I started getting money in the mail!  I was shocked!  I
still
figured it would end soon, in didn't give it another thought.  But the
money just
continued coming in.  In my first week, I made about $20.00 to $30.00.   By
the
end of the second week, I had 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 $42,000.00 and its still
coming in
....

Its certainly worth $6.00 an 6 stamps!

So now I'm reposting this so I can make even more money!  The *ONLY* thing
stopping *ANYONE* from enriching their own bank account is pure laziness!

It took me all of five minutes to print this out, follow the directions,
and begin
posting to newsgroups.  It took me a mere 45 minutes to post to over 200
newsgroups.  And for this GRAND TOTAL investment of $7.92 (US)  and under
ONE HOUR of my time, I have reaped an incredible amount of money like
nothing
I've even heard of anywhere before!

'Nuff said!

Let me tell you how this works, and most important, why it works.   Also,
make
sure you print a copy of this article now, so you can get the information
off of it
when you need it.  The process is very simple in consists of THREE easy
steps.
==============
 HOW IT WORKS
==============

STEP 1:   Get six separate pieces of paper and write the following on each
piece
     of paper:

PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING LIST.
$1 US DOLLAR  PROCESSING FEE IS ENCLOSED.

( THIS IS KEY AS THIS IS WHAT MAKES IT LEGAL SINCE YOU ARE PAYING FOR,
AND LATER OFFERING A SERVICE)

Now get six $ 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 theft/robbery.

Then, place 1 paper in each of the six envelopes and seal them. You should
now
have six sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above
phrase
and a US $1.00  bill.

Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:

#1   Dixon G.
     17811 S.W. 137th Court
     Miami, Florida   33177
     USA

#2   Anders Roth
     Kuuvuorenkatu 1C 59
     FIN-20540  TURKU
     Finland




#3   Ron Cooper
     177 Cochrane Cres.
     Ft. McMurray, Alta
     T9K 1H1
     Canada
#4   Bruce Franklin
     26 Spire Hillway
     North York, Ontario
     M2H 3A4
     Canada

#5   J.C.
     9406 Shotgun Drive
     San Antonio, Texas   78250
     USA

#6   Dan Brown
     2117 Buffalo Road; Ste. 203
     Rochester, New York   14624
     USA

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.  If you want to remain anonymous, put a
nickname,
     but the address MUST be correct.  It, of course, MUST contain your
country,
     state/district/area, zip code, etc! You wouldn't want your money to
fly away,
     would you?

 STEP 3:  Now post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups.
     Remember, that 200 postings are just a guideline.  The more you post,
the
     more money you make!

Don't know how to post in the newsgroups?  Well do exactly the following:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------
HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS FAST WITH YOUR WEB BROWSER:

The fastest way to post a newsletter: Highlight and COPY (Ctrl-C) the text
of this
posted message and PASTE (Ctrl-V) it into a plain text editor (like
Wordpad) and
save it.  After you have made the necessary changes that are stated above,
simply Copy (Ctrl-C) and PASTE (Ctrl-V) the text into the message
composition
window, after selecting a newsgroup, and post it!  (Or you and attach the
file,
without writing anything to the message window.)







===============
 Now the WHY part::
===============

Out of 200 postings; say I receive only five replies (a very low example). 
So I
made $5.00 with my name at the #6 position on the letter.  Now each of the
five
persons who just sent me $1.00 made the minimum 200 postings, each with my
name at #5 and only five respond to each of the original 5, that is another
$25.00
for me. Now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and
with only five replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00!  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 $626.00!  OK, now here is
the fun
part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at
the
#2 position and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me
$3,125.00! 
Finally, those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to a MINIMUM of
200
newsgroups with my name at the #1 position and if still only 5 persons per
newsgroup respond, I will receive $15,625.00!  With an original investment
of only
$6.00!  AMAZING! And as I said, 5 responses is actually VERY LOW! Averages
are
a probable 20 to 30!  So let's put those figures at just 15 responses per
person. 
Here is what you will make:

at #6:  $ 15.00
at #5:  $ 225.00
at #4:  $ 3,375.00
at #3:  $ 50,625.00
at #2:  $ 759, 375.00
at #1:  $ 11,390,625.00

 When you're 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, and start posting all over 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 $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 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 that 20,000 to 50,000 new
users
everyday, with thousands of those joining the actual Internet.  Remember,
play
FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will work.  You just have to be honest.

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!!!
===================================================




LEGAL? ? ?  ( Comments from Bob Novak who started this new version.)

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 assembling a
mailing
list of people who are interested in home based computer, on-line
businesses, and
methods of generating income at home. Remember that 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?

Compile all of them into a database and sell them as "Mailing Lists" on the
Internet in a similar manner, if you wish, and make more money.  How do you
think you get all the junk mail that you do?  Credit card companies,
mail-order
companies, utilities, anyone who you deal with through the mail can sell
your 
name and address on a mailing list, unless you ask them not to, in addition
to
their regular business. So, why not do the same with the list you collect. 
You can
find more information about "Mailing Lists"on the Internet using any search
engine.

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 you're  name is
no longer on the list), you just take the latest posting at the newsgroups,
make
your corrections (put your name at #6), send another $6.00 to the names
stated
on the list, and start posting again.
===================================================
NOTES:

*1.  In some countries, the export of the countries exchange is illegal. 
But you
     can get the license to do this from the post office, explaining the
above
     statements ( that you have an on-line business, etc.)    You may have
to
     pay an extra tax, but that's OK, the amount of the incoming money is
     HUGE!  And as I said, only a few countries have that restriction.

*2.  You may want to buy mailing and email lists for future dollars.  (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 pass it along to someone who really needs the
     money, and see what happens.

*4.  You will start getting responses within 1-2 weeks, it depends.
