The fact that so many people have taken the time to post to 250
newsgroups
or more should convince you that this one REALLY works!!!!!  Look at
this
man's story, then the rest of the original:

I thought, what the heck, I'll try it.  It's only six dollars.  I didn't
do it 
right at first, I only sent out to about 30 newsgroups.  But, I got back 
my six dollars and actually made $159.37 in a week (someone put 
some change in the envelope).  Anyway, now I'm going to do this the 
right way; send out to 250 newsgroups!  The rest of this letter is just
a
cut and paste from the original.  All I can say is that it works.  I
would 
never have believed it if it didn't happen to me.  Just remember, we 
must all follow the rules.  Be HONEST and FAIR and you will make 
money!  Sure is a lot of mail though!

Thanks for reading!

     MAKE A FORTUNE - AND THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH!

IF YOU HAVE READ THIS FAR YOU HAVE ALREADY PROVED IT WORKS!!

Take just 5 minutes to read this and see.

This is the newest updated version.

As I was surfing the net, I read all these postings on how you can make 
over $50,000, even $800,000. 

Well I believe that if all goes well, and you follow the rules EXACTLY,
it
will work. Just follow the instructions given in this letter, and you to
can make 
over $800,000, perfectly legally according to USA Post Office Laws (read
on for specifics). 
Don't look at this as a money-making scam, but rather a true-to-life
example to test the above statement. It will only cost you $6 dollars
plus 6 stamps,
and a few hours of your time. Thus, there is some effort involved,
because nothing
in life is absolutely free. Are you ready and willing to accept that you
deserve to
receive a fair amount of money?   If so, please continue reading. 

But if you think this is just another scam, I suggest that you don't try
it.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A 6-PERSON LIST, NOT THE USUAL 5.  PLEASE DO NOT
TRY 
TO CHEAT THIS PROGRAM. JUST ADD ONE NAME AND REPOST 
THE ARTICLE.  IF YOU  DO NOT IT WILL NOT WORK, AND YOU WILL BE 
REMOVED.  FROM THE LIST! FOLLOW  THESE DIRECTIONS AND JOIN US 
IN A GREAT OPPORTUNITY!

The program has been revised and you will notice six names instead of
five. The reason
for this is the flood of five name programs and the sixth name will add
$50000 to $100000
This is proven mathematically and in my bank account. I never really
thought that this 
program would work, but IT DOES and it will for you too.  Just be
patient and follow the 
directions exactly.  Print this article now, so you have all the
information for your version.  
Remember to keep the names right. Let's go!

STEP 1

Invest your $6 by writing your name and address on six separate pieces
of  paper along 
with the words:
"PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING LIST".
(In this way, you are not just sending a dollar to someone; you are
paying for
a legitimate service.)

People have asked me if this is really legal.  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  and on-line
businesses
and methods of generating income at home.  Remember - people send you a
small 
fee to be added to your list. It is legal. What will you do with your
list of thousands
of names?  That's up to you, but this is how it becomes legal. To be
legal you must 
actually sell a product or service if you expect to receive a dollar. 
Anyone sending a
dollar back to you must receive something in return.  You have already
received this
letter due to the participation of each of the 6 persons listed below.
This letter and the plan 
given within this letter are a "product" that you have received. Thus,
you will be sending 
$1.00 to each of the 6 persons given below in exchange for receiving
this letter and for 
asking them to provide the "service" of adding you to their mailing
list.

THIS IS A SERVICE AND IS A 100% LEGAL BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY WHICH I
COVERED IN TITLE 18, SECTION 1302 AND 1342 OF THE POSTAL AND 
LOTTERY LAWS.

Now, please follow the given steps exactly to receive your desired
amount  of money:
Immediately send $1 US cash (a one dollar bill, no checks, no money
orders) to each
of the 6 people on the list below. Wrap this dollar in a note with the
words: "Please add 
me to your mailing list." (In this way, you're not just sending a dollar
to someone, you're 
paying for a legitimate service.)  Also, to discourage those who prey on
cash in the mail, 
be sure the bill is completely hidden by the note. A woven envelope is
recommended.  
Include your address. You do not need to include your name. This is the
key to the 
program!  Also, let each person know what number they are in your letter
so he/she knows 
which cycle he is receiving the $1.00 from.
Make sure that you retain EVERY name and address sent to you, either on
computer or 
hard copy, but do not discard the names and notes that people  send to
you. This is 
PROOF that you are truly providing a service, and should the IRS or some
other 
government agency question you, you can provide them with this proof. 
Therefore, you 
will start a list of all the people who send you a dollar requesting to
be added to a mailing 
list.  Actually, you will want to safeguard this list because it can
generate even better 
responses and much more money later!  Fold a $1 bill inside each paper,
and mail them
by 
standard mail to the following six addresses:

1)      Rudolfs Osins
         Aspazijas 37-4
         Jelgava, LV 3001
         Latvia

2)     F. Rome
        1030 Hilltop Dr.
        Grapevine, TX  76051 
        USA

3)     Chris Leclair 
        39 Gurly Rd
        Edison, NJ  08817

4)     R.M.
         66 Navsink Dr
         Monmouth Beach, NJ  07750

5)     M. Pack
        1543 Oak St. #3
        Sarasota, FL 34236


6)     R.T.
        2109 Wake forest St.
        Va. beach, VA. 23451

STEP 2

Now remove the top name from the list, and move the other names up. 
This
way #6 becomes #5 and so on. Put your name in as the #6 on the list
(Remember
to take #1 off and change the numbers so #2 becomes #1, #3 becomes #2,
#4 becomes
#3, #5 becomes #4 and #6 becomes #5 and you become #6.) 

STEP 3

LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH MONEY YOU CAN MAKE.

How do the numbers work for potential income earnings?  Assume for the
sake of 
example that you get a 7.5% return rate.  This is very conservative; my
first attempt
was about 9.5%, and my second was over 11%.  
1. You send out 200 letters, and 15 people (7.5% x 200) will send you $1
each. $15.00

2. Those 15 send out 200 letters each, and 225 people send you $1 each.
$225.00 

3. Those 225 send out 200 letters each, and 3,375 people send you $1
each  $3,375.00.

4. Those 3,375 send out 200 letters each, and 50,625.00 people send you
$1 each.
$50,625.00 

5. Those 50,625 send out 200 letters each, and 759,375 people send you
$1 each. 
$759,375.00

6. Those 759,375 send out 200 letters each, and 11,390,625 people send
you $1 each. 
$11,390,625

TOTAL $12,204,240.00!!  That's 12 million dollars. If those figures
sound  incredibly high,
figure that even with half the return rate, or even a quarter, the total
is still spectacular.  It
works every time, but how well will depend on how many  letters you
send. In the above
example you mailed out 200 letters. This sounds like "pie in the sky,"
but the numbers add
up, and with over 40 million people on the NET, it works!  TIP:  For an
even greater
return, post to MORE than 250 newsgroups initially; try for 300-350. 
When your name 
drops off a list, simply access another message from a newsgroup and
start the process
over again.  Post the new article to at least 250 newsgroups. remember,
the more you
post, the more people see, and the more you get. There are at least
25,000 newsgroups at
any one time.  This is a $7.92 investment. It takes about a week or so
to start seeing a
return- so be patient. The money should flow for about 3 months. At that
point, simply add
your name to the list and start over.  I've done this three times and
now I can quit my job
and start investing in real estate full time. I asure you this can
work.  
If you mailed out 500 letters, you could have received even more!  Check
the math
yourself, but I guarantee it's correct.  With this kind of return, you
have got to give it a try! 

Try it once, and you'll do it again. Just make sure you send a dollar to
each of the
addresses on the list above with a note asking to be added to their
mailing list.  Together 
we will all prosper and we will be able to share our wealth  with those
less fortunate than 
ourselves.

GOOD LUCK!!

GENERAL STEPS ON AUTOMATING THE PROCESS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have Netscape 3.0 do EXACTLY the following:
1)  Click on any newsgroup like normal, THEN click on 'TO NEWS', which
is
on the far left when you're in the newsgroups page.  This will bring up 
a box to type a message in.

2)  Leave the newsgroup box like it is, CHANGE the subject box to
something flashy, 
like, "NEED CASH $$$ READ HERE $$$ or "FAST CASH"!!!

3)  Tab once and you should be ready to type.  Now, retype (only once)
THIS whole 
article WORD FOR WORD, except insert your name at #6,  and remove #1 off
the list, 
plus any other small changes you think you need to make.  Keep almost
all of it the 
SAME!

4)  When you're done typing the WHOLE article, click on FILE in THIS
BOX,  RIGHT 
ABOVE SEND, NOT WHERE IT SAYS NETSCAPE NEWS ON THE FIRST BOX.  
Click on SAVE AS when you're under FILE.  Save your article as a text
file to your C: or 
A: drive.  DO NOT SEND OR POST YOUR ARTICLE UNTIL YOU DO THIS.  Once 
saved, move on to number 5 below.  NOTE:  If you don't want to type in
the whole article 
by hand, AND you know how to use a plain text editor (like Notepad), you
can edit the 
file ahead of time, then attach it as shown in step 6.

5)  If you still have all of your text, send or post to this newsgroup
now by just clicking 
send, which is right below FILE, and right above Cc:

6)  Here's where you're going to post all 200.  OK, click on any
newsgroup then click on 
'TO NEWS', again in the top left corner.  Leave the NEWSGROUPS BOX alone
again, 
put a flashy subject title in the SUBJECT BOX, hit TAB once you're in
the body of the 
message.  Click on ATTACHMENTS, which is below the SUBJECT BOX.  You
will get 
another box to come up.  Click on ATTACH FILE, then find YOUR file that
if you did 
this right, you should see your file name in the attachments box, and it
will be shaded 
green.  NOTE:  If you don't want to type in the whole article and you
know how to use a 
plain text editor (Notepad), you can edit the file ahead of time, then
attach it.
*************************
1)  IF YOU USE I.E. EXPLORER IT'S JUST AS EASY...HOLDING DOWN THE LEFT
MOUSE BUTTON, highlight this article.  Then press the "ctrl" key and the
"c" key 
at the same time to copy this article.  Then print this article for 
your records, to have the 
names of those you will be sending $1 bills to. 

2)  Go to the news groups and press "post an article".   A window will
open.  
Type in your headline in the subject area and then click in the large
window below.
Press "ctrl" and then "v" and the article will be placed in the window. 
If you want to
edit the article, do so and then highlight and copy it again.  Now every
time you post the 
article in a new newsgroup all you have to repeat is "ctrl" and "v" and
press post.

3)  That's it.  Each time you do this, all you have to do is type in a
different newsgroup, so 
that way it posts to 200 DIFFERENT newsgroups, or more.  You see?  Now
you just 
have 249 to go!! (Don't worry, each one takes about 30 seconds, once you
get used to it. 
REMEMBER 250 IS THE MINIMUM.  But the more you post the more money you
will 
receive.  AND THAT'S IT!!   THEY ARE ONLY STEPS!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------
(this is a later addition for extra ease of posting)

EXTRA TIPS:

(ONLY) IF YOU ARE CONFIDENT WITH YOUR COMPUTER YOU CAN AUTOMATE
YOUR POSTINGS (and prevent spamming) AS FOLLOWS: (THIS 
Replaces the previous section only i.e. 'GENERAL STEPS ON AUTOMATING THE 
PROCESS') (using Netscape):

As you are reading this message click on "file" - "save message as",
enter a 
filename in the 'save as' dialog box, press "enter".  Now open "Notepad" 
(usually from "start" - "programs" - "accessories") and open the message
 ( "file" - "open" ) you just saved. (You will find it in the same
folder you
saved it and you may also find it has a '.html' file extension). Then
edit the
letter EXACTLY as you have been directed above. Just make sure you
delete
the 'system-message' that appears at the top so that it makes sense when
you 
read it! Click on "edit" - "select all" (all the text should now be
highlighted)
then again "edit" - "copy". Leave Notepad alone for now and return to
the 
Netscape News program: Click on "options" - "show all newsgroups".  Now 
select (subscribe to) whichever groups you think are suitable by moving
down
the entire listing and clicking in the appropriate empty boxes. Once you
have 
finished click "options" - "show subscribed newsgroups".  Now simply
click 
on the first group you want to post to, to highlight it. Then choose the
group
about 10 further on and WHILE HOLDING DOWN THE SHIFT KEY click 
on it. Next click on "file" - "new news message".  A message box will
appear 
and after entering the "flashy" subject line, position the cursor in the
main message 
area.  Click on "edit" -"paste"; the message will appear.
NOW CHECK IT!!
When you are satisfied everything is correct click "send" and it will be
sent to all 10 
groups. Now repeat as many times as you need- very simple! PLEASE NEVER
post 
to many more than 10 with any one message since the resulting long lines
of 
newsgroup listings at the top of EVERY message will annoy many AND will 
vastly reduce the effectiveness of your posting.
