$5 investment makes $50,000!!!
 You gotta be crazy! How on earth do you think you can get 50 grand
 for 5 lousy bucks? Well, that's what I was wondering too, until I
 came across this letter.

 First of all, IT'S PERFECTLY LEGAL! Call 1-800-725-2161 If you
 have any questions about the following opportunity to make
 $50,000.00 and that probably WITHIN LESS THAN TWO MONTHS!

 Well, here it goes:
 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 $5.00! So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a joke",
 but like most of us I was curious and kept reading. Anyway, it said
 that you send $1.00 to each of the 5 names and address stated in the
 article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of the
 list at #5, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. (There
 are thousands) No catch, that was it.

 I knew that that was the opportunity I had waited for for a long time.
 I thought it was about time that the money of the world gets into the
 right hands! OURS, right? I never had a doubt that this thing will
 actually work and even if it didn't, what were 5 stamps and $5.00 for
 a try?

 As I mentioned before, 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!

 Now, that's how your story WILL sound like too, if you participate:

 Well GUESS WHAT!!... with in 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 .......

 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 5 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each
 piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST."  Now get 5 $1.00
bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 5 pieces of paper so the bill
 will not be seen through the envelope to prevent thievery. Next, place
 one paper in each of the 5 envelopes and seal them. You should now
 have 5 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above
 phrase and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service by
 this. You are, in effect, creating a home business using only a $5.00
 Investment!!! What you do with your list of people you recieve is
totally
up to you!!!
 THIS IS PERFECTLY LEGAL!

 Mail the 5 envelopes to the following addresses:

  #1 J. Ho
    5860 Broadway, Burnaby
    BC, Canada
    V5B 2X9

 #2 T.Suwa
     8-1-35-9-1001 Kokuryo-cho
     Chofu-city Tokyo 182 Japan

 #3 Stuart Allen
     8908 Eames Avenue
     Northridge, CA 91324

#4 Felix Luk
    64-66 Stanley Main ST.
    4/F, Stanley, Hong Kong
 
#5  F. Guo
     812 18th Avenue, South, Apt. 3
     Nashville, TN 37203
     U. S. A.

 STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the
 other names up (2 becomes 1, 3 becomes 2, etc...) and add YOUR Name as
 number 5 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 18,000 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:

 FOR NETSCAPE USERS:
  
 1) Click on any newsgroup, like normal. Then click on "To News", which
 is in the top left corner of the newsgroup page. This will bring up a
 message box.

 2) Fill in the SUBJECT with a flashy title, like the one I used,
 something to catch the eye!!!

 3) Now go to the message part of the box and retype this letter
 exactly as it is here, with exception of your few changes. (remember
 to add your name to number 5 and move the rest up)

 4) When your done typing in the WHOLE letter, click on 'FILE' above
 the send button. Then, 'SAVE AS..' DO NOT SEND YOUR ARTICLE UNTILL YOU
SAVE IT. (so you don't have to type this 200 times :-)

 5) Now that you have saved the letter, go ahead and send your first
 copy! (click the 'SEND' button in the top left corner)

 6) This is where you post all 200! OK, go to ANY newsgroup article and
 click the 'TO NEWS' button again. Type in your flashy subject in the
 'SUBJECT BOX', then go to the message and place your cursor here. Now
 click on 'ATTACHMENT' which is right below the 'SUBJECT BOX'. Click on
 attach file then find your letter wherever you saved it.  Click once
 on your file then click 'OPEN' then click 'OK'.  If you did this right
 , you should see your filename in the 'ATTACHMENT BOX' and it will be
 shaded.

 NOW POST AWAY!

 FOR INTERNET EXPLORER:
 It's just as easy, holding down the left mouse button, highlight this
 entire article, then press the 'CTRL' key and 'C' key at the same time
 to copy this article. Then print the article for your records to have
 the names of those you will be sending $1.00 to.
 Go to the newsgroups and press 'POST AN ARTICLE' type in your flashy
 subject and click the large window below. Press 'CTRL' and 'V' and the
 aricle will appear in the message window. **BE SURE TO MAKE YOUR
 ADDRESS CHANGES TO THE 5 NAMES.** Now re-highlight the article and
 re-copy it so you have the changes.... then all you have to do for
 each newsgroup is 'CTRL' and 'V' and press 'POST'. It's that easy!!
 THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post
 away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for
 each newsgroup! OR... You can try using the "post to multiple
newsgroups"
 function on your news program. Simply separate the different newsgroups
you want to
 send to with semicolons. I believe that Internet Explorer will allow
you
to send up to about 100
 at once! It is still a lot of work, but the REWARDS are worth it!!!!!!

 **REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU'LL
    MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200**

    MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200**

 **If these instructions are too complex to follow, try Forte's "Free
 Agent." It is freeware for noncommercial use. To download it, simply
 use a search utility and type "Forte Free Agent". You should be able
 to find it.**

 That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the world within
 days! You may eventually want to rent a P.O. Box due to the large
 amount of mail you receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you con
 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:

 This entire principle works because it is in a format of an upside
 down tree with thousands of branches. Everyone below you will see to
 it that the tree continues because they want to get money. Those
 below THEM will continue because THEY want to get the cash etc.
 it that the tree continues because they want to get money. Those
 below THEM will continue because THEY want to get the cash etc.

 Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low
 example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #5 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 #4 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 #3 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 #2 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 of 200 letters
 with my name at #1 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just
 made me $3,125.00!!! With a original investment of only $5.00!
 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 #5 $15.00
 at #4 $225.00
 at #3 $3,375.00

 at #2 $50,625.00
 at #1 $759,375.00

 When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest
 posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $5.00 to names on the
 list, putting your name at number 5 and start posting again.
 The thing to remember is that thousands of people all over the world
 are joining the Internet and reading these articles everyday, JUST
 LIKE YOU are now!! And this will go on and on and on and on.... get
 the picture? Well, there's about 6,000,000,000 people on the world and
 most of them will eventually end up being hooked into the internet.
   So  there are virtually unlimited resources. Of course this will work
 the best at the very beginning so the faster you post, the better for
 YOU!

 So can you afford $5.00 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 everyday 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. **By the way, if you try to deceive
 people by posting the messages with your name in the list and not
 sending the money to the rest of the people already on the list, you
 will NOT get as much. Some people actually keep detailed listings of
who
has sent
 and given money etc. DON'T CHEAT, YOU ARE ONLY CHEATING YOURSELF!
 IF PEOPLE CHEAT, THEN NO-ONE PROFITS! Someone I talked to knew
 someone who did that and he only made about $150.00, and that's after
seven or eight weeks!
 Then he sent the 5 $1.00 bills, people added him to their lists, and
 in 4-5 weeks he had over $10k. This is the fairest and most honest way
 I have ever seen to share the wealth of the world without costing
 anything but our time!!! You also may want to buy mailing and e-mail
 I have ever seen to share the wealth of the world without costing
 anything but our time!!! You also may want to buy mailing and e-mail
 lists for future dollars. THIS COULD BE GREAT FOR ALL OF US!!!
 DO YOUR PART FOR YOURSELF AND EVERYONE ELSE!!!

 Please remember to declare your extra income.   Thanks once again...
