> Dear Friend,

> Greetings!  I am a retired Attorney, and about two years ago a man came

> to me with a letter.  The letter he brought me is basically the letter

> in your hands.  He asked me to verify the fact that this letter was

> legal.  I told him that I would review it and get back to him.  When I

> first read the letter my new client brought me I thought it was some

> off-the-wall idea to make money  However, a week and-a-half later we met

> in my office to discuss the issue.  I told him the letter he originally

> brought to me was not 100% legal.  I suggested a few changes with

> which the letter would be 100% legal.

>

> I was curious about this letter, and my client told me how this plan

> works and suggested that I give it a try.  I thought it was a long

> shot and would be a waste of time, so I decided against participating.

> However, before my client left, I asked him to keep me updated of his

> results.  About two months later he called me to tell me he had received

> over $800,000 in cash!!  I didn't believe him, so he suggested that I

> try this idea and find out for myself.  I thought about it for a couple

> of days and decided that I didn't really have anything to lose, so I

> asked my client for a copy of the letter.  I followed the instructions

> exactly, sent out 200 copies, and sure enough, the money started

> arriving!  It came slowly at first, but after 3 weeks, I was getting

> more mail than I could open in a day!  The money stopped coming after

> about three months.  I kept a precise record of my earnings, and they

> totaled $968,498.00!!

>

> I was earning a good living as a lawyer, but anyone in the legal

> profession, or even anyone who owns their own business will tell you,

> there is a lot of stress that comes with the job.  I told myself that if

> things worked out, I would retire from my job and travel.  I decided to

> try the letter again, but this time I sent out 500 letters.  Well, three

> months later, my earnings totaled $2,344,178.00!!!  I just could not

> believe it.  I met with my former client (and now my friend) for lunch

> to find out how it worked.  He told me there are quite a few similar

> letters going around.  What made THIS ONE DIFFERENT WAS THE FACT THAT 6

> ADDRESSES APPEAR ON THE LIST, AND NOT 5 LIKE MOST OF THE OTHERS.  This

> fact alone results in your name being on far more returns.  Of course I

> was thankful that he had shown this plan to me, but he was just as

> thankful that I had suggested the changes to ensure that this plan was

> legal since most people don't want to risk doing something illegal.

>

> I'll bet that by now you are curious to know the little change I

> suggested in my friend's original letter.  Well, if you sent a letter

> like this out, to be legal you must actually sell a product or service

> if you expect to receive a dollar.  I told my friend that anyone sending

> a dollar back to him must receive something in return.  You have

> received this letter due to the participation of each of the 6 persons

> given 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 on their

> mailing list.  



>       THIS IS A SERVICE AND IS A 100% LEGAL BUSINESS

>       OPPORTUNITY WHICH IS COVERED IN TITLE 18, SECTION       1302 AND 1342 OF THE POSTAL AND LOTTERY LAWS.

> 

> NOW, PLEASE FOLLOW THESE TRIED AND TRUE STEPS TO OBTAIN THE AMOUNT YOU DESIRE:

>1 Immediately send a $1 dollar bill to each of the 6 people on the list

> below.  Wrap this dollar in a note with the words: "Please put me on

> your mailing list." (Remember, in this way, you're not just sending a

> dollar to someone; you're paying for a legitimate service.)  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/or 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 I.R.S. 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 on a

> mailing list.  Actually, you will want to safeguard this list because it

> can generate even better responses and much more money later!  See step

> #4 below.

>2 Remove the name next to the #1 on the list, and move the rest of the

> names up one position.  Then place your name in the #6 spot.  Thus, #6

> becomes #5, #4 becomes #3, etc., and YOU will be #6 on the list.  DO NOT

> EDIT THIS LETTER ANYMORE BEYOND THIS POINT.  When you are mailing this

> letter, you may edit the references to the Internet.

>3 Post this letter in at least 250 newsgroups, I do 5 groups per post.

> You can simply copy the contents of this letter and paste it to the 

> newsgroups of your choice.



> IMPORTANT NOTE:  Please pay attention to the newsgroups in which you

> post.  If there is an abundance of similar letters, you may want to seek

> another newsgroup.  Thus, pay respect to the harmony of the newsgroup

> and use common sense.  There are plenty of newsgroups on the Internet.

> (I think there are close to 18,000 of them.)  ALSO, PLEASE POST IN 

> APPROPRIATE GROUPS AND SPREAD YOUR POSTINGS OVER MANY DIFFERENT

> LOCAL & INTERNATIONAL AREAS (SPREAD THE WORD)!

>

> For added success, you can also mail this letter as well, in addition to

> posting in newsgroups.  Order 200 (or more) names from a mailing list

> company.  Two that have been most effective for these names are:

>

>         S.E. Mailing List               Advon Distributors

>         P. O. Box 15061                 P. O. Box B-11

>         Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33318S       helly, ID 83274

>         (954) 742-9519                  (800) 992-3866

>4 Keep a copy of this letter so you can use it a second time.  Also

> keep EACH AND EVERY NAME AND ADDRESS SENT TO YOU as instructed in #1.

> Then, send out more copies in about 6 months, but mail it to the

> addresses you receive (your new mailing list) with each dollar!  It will

> work again, only much better!

>

> Here are the addresses that you must send a dollar to with your slip of

> paper requesting placement on their mailing list, as instructed above:

>
>   1.  M. Payne, P.O. Box 1089, Campton, NH  03223

> 2.  J. Ryan, P.O. Box 18, Watervilley Valley, NH  03215

> 3.  Sam Michaels, P.O. Box 286, Warren, OH  44482


>4.  P.  Syms, 14 Wheaton Grove, Scarborough, Ontario, M1J 3L5

> 5.  N. Sesh, 19745 Northampton Drive, Saratoga, CA 95070
 
  6.   Greg Thompson 11833 E Idaho Dr Aurora Co  80012


>    ***THIS PLAN WILL NOT WORK UNLESS YOU SEND $1.00   TO EACH OF THE ABOVE PERSONS AS DIRECTED.  
       
       > 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 250 letters, and 18 people (250 x 7.5% = 18) will send you

>      $1 each.   $18.00

>

> 2.  Those 18 send out 250 letters each, and 337 people (18 x 250 = 4,500

      x 7.5% = 337) send you $1 each. 

                  $337.00

>

> 3.  Those 337 send out 250 letters each (337 x 250 = 84,250 x 7.5% = 6,318),

      and 6,318 people send you $1 each.  

                  $6,318.00

>

> 4.  Those 6,318 send out 250 letters each (6,318 x 50 = 1,579,500 x 7.5% =

      118,462), and 118,462 people send you $1 each. 

                  $118,462.00



> 5.  Those 118,462 send out 250 letters each (118,462 x 250 = 29,615,500 x 7.5% =

      2,221,162), and 2,221,162 people send you $1 each.

                  $2,221,162.00.



      ADD 1 - 5 AND TOTAL AT $ 2,346,297.50



ALL THIS IS AT A 7.5% RETURN ON YOUR LETTERS.  THAT'S 18 REPLIES ON

        YOUR ORIGINAL 250 POSTINGS.

>   Some valuable, general suggestions:

>1.  DO NOT TRY AND CHEAT THIS PROCESS.  IF YOU DO, YOU WILL NOT

>   ACHIEVE THE DESIRED RESULTS.

>2.  The Internet is a very effective medium for exposing this vehicle.

>   However, pay attention to newsgroups, and avoid posting this letter in

>   the newsgroups where there are a lot of upset people complaining about

>   "spamming."  In another words, we are asking that you use common sense,

>   and have courtesy to others on the Internet.  This may be opposite of

>   what many other similar postings may be saying.  Keep in mind that there

>   are plenty of people out there who believe and want this as much as you do.

>3.  Keep a positive frame of mind while engaging in this process, and

>   you will receive the amount of money you desire.

>4.  In order to achieve maximum results DO NOT CHANGE THE CONTENTS OF

>   THIS LETTER.  However, you may edit applicable portions relating to

>   Internet when sending this letter via regular mail

>5.  When the money begins to arrive, it is a good gesture to give 10% or

>   more to your church or favorite charity with a joyful spirit.

>

> The Internet has proved to be a very quick and effective means to reach

> millions of people with your message.  This message exemplifies a

> UNIVERSAL LAW OF ABUNDANCE that there is plenty to go around for

> everyone.  You will not be hurting anyone and will be creating the

> opportunity for those who read your message to benefit -- just as you

> will -- from the abundance that exits in this universe.
