Is it illegal to sell your stereo? Is it illegal to mow somone's
lawn for pay? Is it illegal to do anything for anyone and
get paid for it?
I am certain that your answer to all of these questions is
"NO". Why? Because you are providing something of
value to someone who thinks that it is worth their while to
pay you for it.
If you do not think this is worth your while, then discard
this message as you would discard any other mail. E-mail
is just like post office mail only it is faster and comes over
a computer. I think it is easier to deal with because there
is no paper.
Well anyway, the following people have PAID me to put
them on my mailing list. What is the service? The service
is to put them on a mailing list like the one at the end of
this letter. There are five people. I am simply selling a
service to these people (publishing their name on a list,
giving them a chance to make some extra money).
The process is simple. Each person who receives a letter
such as this one and is interested in participating, follows
the steps outlined below.
1. Get five $1 bills, 5 pieces of paper, and 5 stamps.
2. On each piece of paper write or type:
"Please put my name on your mailing list."
"You are number (1-5) [Put the number next to
the person's address on this line. This way,
the person will know where their name is on
the list]."
"(DON'T FORGET TO GIVE THEM YOUR ADDRESS)"
3. Wrap each $1 bill in each piece of paper. Put the $1
and paper in each of the 5 envelopes. Make sure you
remember which one is #1, #2 and so on. The best way
to do it is to write a number where the stamp goes on the
envelope. That way, you'll know which address goes on
which envelope, and the stamp will cover the number up
later.
4. Order the envelopes from 1-5 and address them with
the names and addresses below. You have just
purchased a listing in five different mailing lists. Each of
these people will list you in their future mailings.
5. Stamp and mail these letters.
6. Now, you want to continue the business, so you want
to modify the list so your name appears at the bottom (#5).
Name #1 drops off the list and all of the names move up.
7. It is very important that you do not change anything in
this letter except for the list below. That is why it is at the
bottom of the letter. Send the letter, with the revised list,
to at least 200 people. When you start receiving names
and $1 bills, publish the names like I have here and send
more letters out. You can also e-mail people you know
and post in newsgroups. Distribute the letter as widely as
possible.
That is all there is to it. Results are not guaranteed, but it
is a very inexpensive business to run if you are an
independent type of person and like to have hobbies.
Keep your day job though.
