A little while back, I was browsing these newsgroups, just like you are now,
and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands
of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of  $6.00! So I
thought," Yeah, right, this must be a scam", but like most of us, I was
curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send  $1.00 to each of
the 6 names and address stated in the article. You then place your own name
and address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at least
200 newsgroups. (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. The main
difference between this system and others is that you have a mailing list of
6 instead of 5... This means that your average gain will be app. 15 times
higher!!!
    So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought
about trying it. I figured what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00,
right? Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried about
the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office
(1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal!
    Then I invested the measly $6.00.............plus postage Well GUESS
WHAT!!... within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked!
I still figured it would end soon, and didn't give it another thought. But
the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $20.00 to
$30.00 dollars. By the end of the second week I had made a total of over
$1,000.00!!!!!! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it's still
growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over
$42,000.00 and it's still coming in rapidly.......
    It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I spent more than that on the
lottery!! Besides being a college student, i am always desperate for money.
and this has helped a lot.
    Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it
works....also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get
the information off of it as you need it. The process is very simple and
consists of 3 easy steps:
    STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each
piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 6 US$1.00 bills
(or equivalent in your local currency) and place ONE inside EACH of the 6
pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope to prevent
thievery. Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. You
should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the
above phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is
creating a service by this. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL!
 Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses: #1 James C. Knowles
 2747 Brookrun Rd.Murfreesboro, Tn 37129 #2 Angela Fresiner 1346 Searcy Street.
Murfreesboro, Tn 37129 #3 G. M 2701 E. Paredes Ln. Rd #38 Brownsville, Tx 78521
#4 N.Meindle 11130 Vance Jackson Rd.1602 San Antonio, TX 78230 #5 S&S
 121 Cabernet cir. Toronto,Ontario M9V 5A8,Canada #6 F. Alex Phillips
 CH 25 St. Mary's University San Antonio, Tx 78228
STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other
names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR Name as number 6 on
the list.STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as
close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at
least 200 newsgroups. (I think there is close to 24,000 groups) All you need
is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make!
Don't know HOW to post in the newsgroups? Well do exactly the following:
 -----------------------------------------------------------
 DIRECTIONS - HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS
 -----------------------------------------------------------
 Step 1. You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your
 own posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this
 letter and click and hold down your mouse button. While
 continuing to hold down the mouse button, drag your cursor to the
 bottom of this document and over to just after the last
 character, and release the mouse button. At this point the entire
 letter should be highlighted. Then, from the 'edit' pull down
 menu at the top of your screen select 'copy'. This will copy
 the entire letter into the computers memory.
 Step 2. Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the
 top of the blank page. From the 'edit' pull down menu select
 'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so
 that you can add your name to the list. Remember to eliminate the
 #1 position, move everyone up a spot (re-number everyone elses
 positions), and add yourself in as #6.
 Step 3. Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want
 to do your postings in different sittings, you'll always have
 this file to go back to. ----------------------------------------
 FOR NETSCAPE USERS: ----------------------------------------
 Step 4. Within the Netscape program, go to the pull-down window
 entitled 'Window' select 'NetscapeNews'. Then from the pull down
 menu 'Options', select 'Show all Newsgroups'. After a few moments
 a list of all the newsgroups on your server will show up. Click
 on any newsgroup you desire. From within this newsgroup, click on
 the 'TO NEWS' button, which should be in the top left corner of
 the newsgroups page. This will bring up a message box.
 Step 5. Fill in the Subject. This will be the header that
 everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a
 particular group.
 Step 6. Highlight the entire contents of your .txt file and copy
 them using the same technique as before. Go back to the newsgroup
 'TO NEWS' posting you are creating and paste the letter into the
 body of your posting.
 Step 7. Hit the 'Send' Button in the upper left corner. You're
 done with your first one! Congratulations...
 -------------------------------------------------- INTERNET EXPLORER USERS:
 --------------------------------------------------
 Step 4. Go to newsgroups and select 'Post an Article'.
 Step 5. Fill in the subject. Step 6. Same as #6 above
Step 7. Hit the 'Post' button. -------------------------------------------
 THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroupes and post
 away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for
each newsgroup! **REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY
 YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200**
 That's it! You will begin reciving money from around the world within day's!
You may eventually wany to rent a P.O.Box due to the large amount of mail you
receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long
as the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE
 ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.** Now the WHY part:
 Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example).
 So then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5
persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my
name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that is
another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name
at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00! Now,
those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and
only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $626.00! OK, now here
is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my
name at #2 and they each
 only receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125
 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1
and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00!
With a original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! And as I said 5 responses
is actually VERY LOW! Average is probable 20 to 30! So lets put those figures
at just 15 responses per person. Here is what you will make: at #6 $15.00
 at #5 $225.00 at #4 $3,375.00 at #3 $50,625.00 at #2 $759,375.00
 at #1 $11,390,625.00
 When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest
 posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the list,
putting your name at number 6 again. And start posting again. The thing to
remember is, do you realize that thousands of people all over the world are
joining the internet and reading these articles everyday, JUST LIKE YOU are
now!! So can you afford $6.00 and see if it really works?? I think so...
People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the
money? So what! What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of
new honest users and new honest people who are joining the internet and
newsgroups everday and are willing to give it a try?
Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with thousands of
those joining the actual internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and
this will work.You just have to be honest.
Make sure you print this article out RIGHT NOW, also. Try to keep a list of
everyone that sends you money and always keep an eye on the newsgroups to
make sure everyone is playing fairly. Remember, HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY.
You don't need to cheat the basic idea to make the money!!
GOOD LUCK to all and please play fairly and reap the huge rewards from this,
which is tons of extra CASH.
