RE:	YES!, It can happen to you!

IF YOU READ ANYTHING AT ALL THIS YEAR, READ THIS!

I've been perusing usenet for a few months now and I've seen these 
ads appear very often. Like you, I thought that these postings were a 
complete annoyance and a waste of time. But after reading dozens of 
them, I decided 'What the hell, for the sake of only 5 dollars I'll 
give it a try'. But the reality is that it DOES work and you are 
guaranteed to receive large sums of money, legally.

IF YOU'RE NOT A DREAMER, HANG UP NOW!! IF YOU'VE GOT WHAT IT TAKES, 
PLEASE READ ON.

BELOW IS THE ARTICLE I RESPONDED TO WITH ONLY THE NECESSARY CHANGES 
IN THE MAILING LIST!

THIS IS THE FAIREST MOST HONEST WAY I KNOW TO SHARE THE WEALTH!  
Hello!  Would you like to make thousands of dollars, quick, legally, 
with no CATCH?  Then keep reading.....please take five minutes to 
read this article and it will change your life, just like it did 
mine.  It's true!  You can make up to or over $50.000 dollars in four 
to six weeks, maybe sooner!  I SWEAR I'M NOT LYING TO YOU AND THIS IS 
NOT A SCAM!

       If you're interested, keep reading, if you're not, have a nice 
day.  I was browsing around the newsgroups one day and I stumbled 
across this article.  Since it had to do with making money, which I 
never pass on, I decided to give it a try and this is what it said:  
here we go.  A while back I was  browsing through these news groups, 
just like you are now and came across an article that said you could 
make thousands of dollars in weeks with only an initial investment of 
$5.00!  So, I thought, "Yeah, right, must be a scam", but I was 
curious and kept on reading.

     

     Anyway, it said you send $1.00 to each of the five names and 
addresses stated in the article.  You then place your own name and 
address in the article at the bottom of the list at #5 and post the 
article in at least 200 newsgroups (there are thousands).  No catch, 
that was it!  So,  after thinking it over and talking to a few people 
first, I tried it.  I figured what did I have to lose except for five 
stamps and five dollars, right?  (HOW MANY TIMES A MONTH DO YOU BLOW 
FIVE BUCKS WITH NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT ANYWAY?)  Well, guess what?  
within 7 days, I started getting mone

       I was shocked!  I still figured it would end soon and didn't 
give it another thought.  But the money kept coming IN, tripling in 
size and multiplying by 10 - 20 times the amount I got the first 
week!  In my first week, I made about 20 to 30 dollars.  But by the 
end of the second week, I had made a total of over $1,000.00!!!!!  In 
the third week, I had over $10,000.00 and it's still growing.  This 
is my fourth week (Oct 11) and I've mad about $42,000 TOTAL and the 
money is still coming in!!     Let me tell you how this works and 
more importantly, WHY it works, also make sure you print a copy of 
this article NOW (or save it to a word processing program) so that 
you can get the information from it and begin making money.

  THE PROCESS IS VERY SIMPLE.  IT CONSISTS OF THREE EASY STEPS!!

STEP ONE:  Get five separate pieces of paper (preferably colored, but 
not necessary) and write the following on each sheet of paper  
"PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST.  It is also a good idea to put 
the number of the person who you got the article from and also to put 
your name and address on the paper, not just on the envelope.  Get 
five $1.00 bills and place ONE inside each piece of paper that you 
wrote on.  Fold the money inside the paper so that nosy people cannot 
see it.  This will lessen the chance of some thief taking your money. 
 Put one paper inside each envelope and seal it up. Also, make sure 
that you put the statement on the paper, this creates a service, 
which is then perfectly legal.  Now, mail the five envelopes with the 
five dollars to the following five addresses:

1.  J. Burgess, 73 Pebble Lane, Blackwood, N.J.  08012

2.  J. Welch, 4613 Rainbow Dr., Jefferson City, MO.  65109

3. D. Nemeth, 4 Windsor Lodge, 3rd Avenue, Hove, East Sussex, BN3 2PD, U.K.

4.  K. Noakes, 9 Earlsbrook Road, Redhill, Surrey, RH1 6DR, England

5. J. Bland, Unit 1/22 Fox Street, Ballina, New South Wales, 2478, Australia.

STEP TWO:  Now, take  the #1 name off the list that you see above and 
move the other four names up (5 becoming 4, 4 becoming 3, etc.) and 
put YOUR NAME at number 5.  Make sure that you put your correct 
mailing address, especially if you're from another country as some 
people have never sent mail out of the country and might not know 
how.  You may alter this article if necessary, editing what you need 
to edit.

STEP THREE:  Post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups (I 
think there are close to 18,000 of them.  All you need is say, at 
least 200.  How you post your article depends on what newsreader you 
are using so you might need to ask around for assistance.  Anyway, 
that's it!  That's the three steps you need to make lots of money in 
a short period of time.  You are now in the mail order business and 
should start receiving you envelopes pretty soon.  REMEMBER, THE MORE 
NEWSGROUPS YOU POST TO, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE.  You want to 
rent a P.O. Box eventually to handle all of the mail.  Just make sure 
all the addresses are CORRECT, please!  LET ME TELL YOU WHY THIS 
SYSTEM WORKS!  Out of every 200 postings, let's say I only receive 5 
replies, which is actually VERY LOW.  So I made five dollars with my 
name at #5.  Now then, each person who sent me $1 makes only 200 
postings, now with your name at number 4, WHICH IS A TOTAL OF 1000 
POSTINGS, not including yours too.  50 people send you $1 now, that's 
$50.00 you just made.  Now then, your new 50 agents post 200 each 
with your name at #3 or 10,000 postings (50x200).  Average return is 
500 at $1 = $500.00.  They make 200 postings, which is 5,000 returns 
at $1 = $5,000.00.  Finally 5000 people make 200 postings with you 
name at number one.  YOU GET A RETURN OF $50,000.00 BEFORE YOUR NAME 
DROPS OFF THE LIST.  AND THAT'S IF EVERYONE MAKES 200 POSTINGS ONLY 
AND ONLY FIVE PEOPLE RESPOND!!!!!!!!!!

When your name is no longer on the list, you just take out the latest 
posting that is appearing in the newsgroups, send out another five 
bucks and start the process all over again.  Estimates are the 
internet gets 20 t0 50 THOUSAND new users a day.  It's worth five 
bucks to cash in on this.  THIS WILL WORK, THE ONLY THING TO REMEMBER 
IS TO PLAY FAIR, THE SYSTEM KNOWS IF YOU'RE TRYING TO CHEAT IT AND 
YOUR RETURNS WON'T BE AS GOOD.

PLAY FAIR, PLAY NICE AND EVERYONE MAKES A LOT OF MONEY!!!!!!!!
