 >The following letter was written by a participating member in this
 >program.
 >***********************************************************************
 > To those with the COMMON sense to participate in this easy money opportunity: 
 >About six months ago I received the enclosed post in letter form.  I
 >ignored it.  I received about five more of the same letter within the
 >next two week.  I ignored them also.  Of course, I was tempted to follow
 >through and dreamed of making thousands, but I was convinced it was just
 >another gimmick and could not possibly work.
 >  I was wrong!  About three weeks later I saw this same letter posted on
 >a local bulletin board in Montreal.  I liked the idea of giving it a try
 >with my computer.  I didn't expect much because I figured, if other
 >people were as skeptical as I, they would not be too quick to part with
 >$5.00.  But, I BUY LOTTERY TICKETS WEEKLY IN MY PROVINCE AND
 >HAVE NOTHING TOO SHOW FOR IT BUT TICKET STUBS!  This week I decided to
 >look at this as my weekly lottery purchase.  I addressed the envelopes and
 >mailed out $1.00 in each as directed. Two weeks went by and I didn't
 >receive anything in the mail.  The fourth week rolled around and I
 >couldn't believe what happened!  I can not say that I received
 >$50,000.00, but it was definitely well over $35,000.00!  For the first
 >time in 10 years I got out of debt.  It was great.  Of course, it did
 >not take me long to go through my earnings, so I am using this excellent
 >money making opportunity once again.  FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AND GET
 >READY TO ENJOY!
 >  Please send a copy of this letter along with the enclosed letter so
 >together we can convince people who are skeptical that this really does
 >work!
 
 >                                Good Luck,
