The below is a pyramid scam, also known as a chain letter or Ponzi scheme.

It is wire fraud and mail fraud and unlawful gambling.  I have verified 
this with the FBI.

DON'T DO IT!!

: Please read this, it actually works.  You can make $1000+ just
: by using 5 $1 bills and 5 stamps.  Please take a few minutes to
: read the following instructions.  All you have to lose is $5.00.
: It does work.
: 
: 
: INSTRUCTIONS:
: 
: 1.  Take a sheet of paper and write on it the following: 
: 
:       "Please add my name to your list".  
:      
:      This creates a service out of this money making system and 
: thus making it completely legal.  You are not just randomly sending
: a dollar to someone, you are paying one dollar for a legitimate
: service.  Make sure  you include your name and address.  I assure
: you that,  again,  this is completely legal!  For a neat little 
: twist, also write what slot their name was in: "You were in slot 3",
: Just to add a little fun!  This is all about having fun and making
: money at the same time! 
: 
: 2.  Now fold this sheet of paper around a dollar bill ,(no 
: checks or money orders), and put them into an envelope and send 
: it on its way to the five people listed.  The folding of the 
: paper around the bill will insure its arrival to its recipient. 
: THIS STEP IS IMPORTANT!! 
: 
: 3.  Now listen carefully, here's where you get YOUR MONEY COMING 
: TO YOUR MAILBOX.   Look at the list of five people;  remove the 
: first name from position 1 and move everyone on the list up 
: 1 slot on the list.  Position 2 name will now move to the 
: position 1 slot ,  position 3 will now become position 2, 4 will 
: be 3, 5 will be 4.  Now put your name, address, zipcode/postal code
: AND COUNTRY in position 5, the bottom position on the list. 
: 
: 4.  Now upload this updated file to as many newsgroups and local 
: bulletin boards message areas & file section as possible.  Give 
: a catchy description of the file so it gets noticed!! The more 
: uploads, the more money you will make, and of course, the more
: money the others on the list will make too.  LET'S ALL TAKE CARE
: OF EACH OTHER BY BEING HONEST AND BY PUTTING FORTH 120% INTO THIS
: PROFITABLE & AMAZING SYSTEM!!! You'll reap the benefits, believe me!!!
: 
: Set a goal for the number of total uploads you'll post, such as 
: 15-20 postings or more! Don't alter the file type, leave it as an
: MS-DOS Text file. The best test is to be able to view this file
: using Microsoft's Notepad for Windows 3.x or WordPad for Windows '95.
: If the margins look right without making the screen slide left or 
: right when at the ends of the sentences, you're in business! 
: 
: 5.  If you need help uploading, simply ask the sysop of the BBS, 
: or "POST" a message on a newsgroup asking how to post a file,  
: tell them who your Internet provider is and PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS BE 
: GLAD TO HELP.  I would try to describe how to do it but there are 
: simply too many internet software packages with slightly different 
: yet relatively simple ways to post or upload a file.  Just ask for 
: help or look in the help section for 'posting'. 
:  
: 6.  And this is the step I like.  JUST SIT BACK AND ENJOY LIFE 
: BECAUSE CASH IS ON ITS THE WAY!!  Expect to see a little money 
: start to trickle in around 2 weeks, but AT ABOUT WEEKS 3 & 4, THE 
: MONEY STORM WILL HIT YOUR MAILBOX!! All you have to do is take it
: out of the mailbox and try not to scream too loud (outside anyway) 
: when you realize YOU HIT THE BIG TIME AT LAST!!  
: 
: 7.  So go PAY OFF YOUR BILLS AND DEBTS and then get that something 
: special you always wanted or buy that special person in your life 
: (or the one you want in your life)  a gift they'll never forget.  
: ENJOY LIFE!  
: 
: 8.  Now when you get low on this money supply,  simply re-activate 
: this file again; Reposting it in the old places where you 
: originally posted and possibly some new places you now know of.  
: Don't ever lose this file, always keep a copy at your reach for 
: when you ever need cash.  THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE TOOL THAT YOU 
: CAN ALWAYS RE-USE TIME AND TIME AGAIN WHEN CASH IS 
: NEEDED!
