I forwarded this post to uce@ftc.gov as it constitues a possible attempt to commit chain mail fraud. FYI, this is a real cool thing to do with spam. The ones with the most coverage get the most attention. sbvxtguj@hotmail.com wrote in message ... > >This is unlike any other mailing you've ever received! >Please read this UNIQUE program...

Fortunately, sometime later I re-read everything and gave >some thought and study to it. > >In mid-December, I received this program via email. Six months prior >to receiving this program I had been sending away for information on >various business opportunities. All of the programs I received, in my >opinion, were not cost effective. They were either too difficult for >me to comprehend or the initial investment was too much for me to risk >to see if they worked or not. One claimed I'd make a million dollars >in one year...it didn't tell me I'd have to write a book to make it. > >Initially I sent out 10,000 emails. It only cost me about $15.00 for >my time on-line. The great thing about email is that I didn't need any >money for printing to send out the program, only the cost to fulfill my >orders. I am telling you like it is, I hope it doesn't turn you off, >but I promised myself that I would not cheat anyone, no matter how >much money it cost me!. > >In less than one week, I was starting to receive orders for REPORT #1. >By January 13th, I had received 26 orders for REPORT #1. When you read >the GUARANTEE in the program, you will see that "YOU MUST RECEIVE 15 >TO 20 ORDERS FOR REPORT #1 WITHIN TWO WEEKS. IF YOU DON'T, >SEND OUT MORE PROGRAMS UNTIL YOU DO!" My first step in making >$50,000 in 20 to 90 days was done. By January 30th, I had received >196 orders for REPORT #2. If you go back to the GUARANTEE, "YOU >MUST RECEIVE 100 OR MORE ORDERS FOR REPORT #2 WITHIN >TWO WEEKS. IF NOT, SEND OUT MORE PROGRAMS UNTIL YOU DO. >ONCE YOU HAVE 100 ORDERS, THE REST IS EASY, RELAX, YOU >WILL MAKE YOUR $50,000 GOAL." Well, I had 196 orders for REPORT #2, >96 more than I needed. So I sat back and relaxed. By March 19th, of >my emailing of 10,000, I received $58,000 with more coming in every >day. > >I paid off ALL my debts and bought a much needed new car.

Especially the rules of not trying to >place your name in a different place. It doesn't work, you'll lose out >on a lot of money! REPORT #2 explains this. Always follow the >guarantee, 15 to 20 orders for REPORT #1, and 100 or more orders for >REPORT #2 and you will make $50,000 or more in 20 to 90 days. I AM >LIVING PROOF THAT IT WORKS !!! > >If you choose not to participate in this program, I'm sorry.

Using a >good list the response could be much better. Also many people will >send out hundreds of thousands of programs instead of 2,000. But >continuing with this example, you send out only 2,000 programs. With a >5% response, that is only 10 orders for REPORT #1. Those 10 people >respond by sending out 2,000 programs each for a total of 20,000. Out >of those .5%, 100 people respond and order REPORT #2. Those 100 mail >out 2,000 programs each for a total of 200,000. The .5% response to >that is 1,000 orders for REPORT #3. Those 1,000 send out 2,000 >programs each for a 2,000,000 total. The .5% response to that is >10,000 orders for REPORT #4. That's 10,000 five dollar bills for you. >CASH!!!!

Every state in the USA allows you to recruit new multi- >level business partners, and we offer a product for EVERY dollar sent. >YOUR ORDERS COME AND ARE FILLED THROUGH THE MAIL, so you are not >involved in personal selling. You do it privately in your own home, >store or office. > >This is the GREATEST Multi-level Mail Order Marketing anywhere: > >Step (1) Order all four (4) REPORTS listed by NAME AND NUMBER. Do > this by ordering the REPORT from each of the four 4 names listed > on the next page. For each REPORT, send $5 CASH and a SELF- > ADDRESSED, STAMPED envelope (BUSINESS SIZE #10) to the > person listed for the SPECIFIC REPORT. International orders > should also include $1 extra for postage. It is essential > that you specify the NAME and NUMBER of the report requested > to the person you are ordering from. You will need ALL FOUR > (4) REPORTS because you will be REPRINTING and RESELLING them. > DO NOT alter the names or sequence other than what the > instructions say. IMPORTANT: Always provide same-day > service (not the same as shipping) on all orders. > >Step (2) Replace the name and address under REPORT #1 with > yours, moving the one that was there down to REPORT #2. > Drop the name and address under REPORT #2 to REPORT #3, > moving the one that was there to REPORT #4.

DO NOT MIX UP MOVING PRODUCT/REPORT > POSITIONS!!! > >Step (3) Having made the required changes in the NAME list, save it > as a text (.txt) file in it's own directory to be used with > whatever email program you like.

Then, email to anyone and everyone! Use your > imagination! You can get email addresses from companies on > the internet who specialize in email mailing lists. These > are very cheap, 100,000 addresses for around $35.00. > >IMPORTANT: You won't get a good response if you use an old list, so >always request a FRESH, NEW list.

I should also point out that >this program is legal and everyone who participates WILL make money. >This is not a chain letter or pyramid scheme. At times you have >probably received chain letters, asking you to send money, on faith, but >getting NOTHING in return, NO product what-so-ever! Not only are chain >letters illegal, but the risk of someone breaking the chain makes them quite >unattractive. > >You are offering a legitimate product to your people.
