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.
