This is just another pyramid scam/chain letter/Ponzi scheme/MLM.

This variety is wire fraud, mail fraud, and unlawful interstate
gambling.

Don't do it.

: Hello! I've got some awesome news that I think you need to take 
: two minutes to read if you have ever thought "How could I make 
: some serious cash in a hurry???" , or been in serious debt,  ready 
: to do almost anything to get the money needed to pay off those 
: bill collectors. So grab a snack, a warm cup of coffee, or a glass 
: of your favorite beverage, get comfortable and listen to this 
: interesting, exciting find!  
:    Let me start by saying that I FINALLY FOUND IT! That's right!
: I found it! And I HATE GET RICH QUICK SCHEMES!! I hate those 
: schemes like multi-level marketing, mail-order schemes, envelope
: stuffing scams, 900 number scams... the list goes on forever. I 
: have tried every darn get rich quick scheme out there over the 
: past 12 years. I somehow got on mailing lists for people looking 
: to make money (more like 'desperate stupid people who will try 
: anything for money!').  Well,  when I was a teenager,  these 
: claims to 'get me rich quick' sounded irresistible! I would shell 
: out $14.95 here, $29.95 there, $24.95 here, and another $49.95 
: there.  I had maxed out my new Circuit City Card AND my Visa...I 
: was desperate for money!!  So, I gave them all a chance but 
: failed at every one of them! Maybe they worked for some people, 
: but not for me.  Eventually, I just tossed that JUNK MAIL in the
: trash when I got the mail.  I recognized it right away.  I can 
: smell a money scam from a mile away these days,  SO I THOUGHT.... 
: I thought I could sniff out a scam easily.  WAS I WRONG!!  
: ....I LOVE THE INTERNET!!!
: 
:    I was scanning thru a NEWSGROUP and saw an article stating to 
: GET CASH FAST!!  I thought..."Here on the Internet??  Well, I'll 
: just have to see what schemes could possibly be on the internet." 
: The article described a way to MAIL A ONE DOLLAR BILL TO ONLY 
: FIVE PEOPLE AND MAKE $50, 0000 IN CASH WITHIN 4 WEEKS!  Well,  
: the more I thought about it, the more I became very curious. Why? 
: Because of the way it worked AND BECAUSE IT WOULD ONLY COST ME 
: FIVE DOLLARS (AND FIVE STAMPS), THAT'S ALL I EVER PAY....EVER!!
: 
:    Ok, so the $50,000 in cash was maybe an tough amount to reach, 
: but it was possible.  I knew that I could at least get a return 
: of $1,000 or so.  So I did it!! As per the instructions in the 
: article, I mailed out ('snail mail'for you e-mail fanatics) a 
: single dollar bill to each of the five people on the list that 
: was contained in the article.  I included a small note, with the 
: dollar, that stated "Please Add Me To Your List."  I then removed 
: the first position name of the five names listed and moved 
: everyone up one position, and I put my name in position five of 
: the list.  This is how the money starts rolling in!  I then took 
: this revised article now with my name on the list and REPOSTED IT 
: ON AS MANY NEWSGROUPS AND LOCAL BULLETIN BOARD 
: MESSAGE AREAS THAT I KNEW.  I then waited to watch the money 
: come in...prepared to maybe receive about $1000 to $1500 in cash or
: so.... 
: But what a welcome surprise when those envelopes kept coming in!!!  I 
: knew what they were as soon as I saw the return addresses from people 
: all over the world-Most from the U.S., but some from Canada, even 
: some from Australia!  I tell you, THAT WAS EXCITING!!  So how 
: much did I get in total return?  $1000? $5000? Not even!!! I 
: received a total of $23,343!!!  I couldn't believe it!!
: 
:    I now have a brand new black Acura Integra to speak for, due 
: to this!! Now after almost 8 months, I am ready to do it again!!! 
: So maybe it was possible to get $50,000 in cash, I don't know, 
: but  IT COMPLETELY DEPENDS ON YOU, THE INDIVIDUAL!  You 
: must follow through and repost this article everywhere you can think 
: of!  The more postings you achieve will determine how much cash 
: will arrive in your very own mailbox!!  It's just too easy to 
: pass up!!! 
: 
:    Let's review the reasons why you should do this:  The only 
: cost factors are for the five stamps, the 5 envelopes and the 5 
: one dollar bills that you send out to the listed names by snail 
: mail (US Postal Service Mail).  Then just simply repost the 
: article (WITH YOUR NAME ADDED) to all the newsgroups and local 
: BBS's you can.  Then sit back and, (ironically), enjoy walking 
: (you can run if you like! :o  ) down your driveway to your 
: mailbox and scoop up your rewards!!  We all have five dollars to 
: put into such an easy effortless investment with SPECTACULAR 
: REALISTIC RETURNS OF $15,000 to $25,000 in about 3-5 weeks!  So 
: HOLD OFF ON THOSE LOTTERY NUMBERS FOR TODAY,EAT AT 
: HOME TONIGHT INSTEAD OF TAKEOUT FROM McDONALDS AND 
: INVEST FIVE  DOLLARS IN THIS AMAZING MONEY MAKING SYSTEM 
: NOW!!! YOU CAN'T LOSE!!   
: 
:    So how do you do it exactly, you ask?  I have carefully 
: provided the mostdetailed, yet straightforward instructions on 
: how to easily get this underway and get your cash on its way.  
: SO, ARE YOU READY TO MAKE SOME CASH!!!?? HERE WE GO!!! 
: 
: *** THE LIST OF NAMES IS AT THE END OF THIS ARTICLE. ***
: 
: OK,  Read this carefully.  Get a printout of this information, 
: if you like, so you can easily refer to it as often as needed.
: 
: 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 one and move everyone on the list up 
: slot one on the list.  Position 2 name will now move to the 
: position 1 slot ,  position 3 will now become position 2, 4 will 
: be be 3, 5 wil be 4.  Now put your name, address, zipcode 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!!  Such as: 
: "NEED FAST CASH?, HERE IT IS!" or "NEED CASH TO PAY OFF 
: YOUR DEBTS??",  etc.  And 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 PERCENT 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!  Always have a goal in mind!!! If you can UUE 
: encode the file when uploading,  that will make it easier for the
: people to 
: receive it and have it downloaded to their hard drive.  That way 
: they get a copy of the article right on their computer without 
: hassles of viewing and then saving the article from the File menu. 
: 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'. I do know that for 
: GNN, you simply select 'POST' then enter a catchy description 
: under the subject box, choose 'ATTACH', selecting 'UUE' and NOT 
: 'TXT', then choose 'Browse' to go look for the file. Find your 
: text file CASH.TXT and click on it and choose 'OK'.  Place a one 
: line statement in the main body section of the message post 
: screen. Something like "Download this to read how to get cash 
: arriving in your mailbox with no paybacks!" or whatever. Just make 
: sure it represents its true feasibility, NOT something like...
: "Get one million dollars flooding in your mailbox in two days!"  
: You'll never get ANY responses!
:  
: 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!
