This WILL ONLY TAKE 3 or 4 minutes to read...I urge you to read it. It's 
contents changed my life...
 
Hi All,
Me and a friend were checking my e-mail when my friend picked out 
this message. I thought it was 'junk mail' and was about to delete it 
but my friend made me read it. We read it and found out it's a great way to
 make money! We only made $129 but we only sent it to a few people. 
Please READ IT! It's worth it...

If this message is unwelcome, please accept my appology. If you think this
program is like others you have seen in the past, it's not. Please read on
and find out what I mean. Please TAKE NOTE : THIS IS NOT THE 'NORMAL'
5 people program. This is basicly the same thing except it has a 
6th place - which allows you to make even more money with the same $5!
  
It is completely legal and you can do it right from your own home. 
*********IMPORTANT:IT ONLY WORKS IF YOU DO WHAT IT SAYS AND SPEND THE $5!!
 BELIEVE ME, I'VE TRIED DOING IT WITHOUT SPENDING IT! IT DOSEN'T WORK!
 TRY IT IF YOU WANT BUT MARK MY WORDS, :" YOU WILL NOT RECIEVE ANY MORE
 THAN $1 IF YOU DON'T SEND IN THE MONEY!!! 
Also another note...it's becomes illegal when you don't send 
the money in...so send it in!"
 Why you say? Because when you send the people the money,
 they add you to their list which is given to other people who in turn 
add you to their list and it keeps going on and on and on!*************

now start raking in the money!!!!
 
I hesitated about trying this. I have tried others and ended up in
financial collapse. Now that I have tried this one, I recieve envelopes by
mail with dollar bills in them. How is this possible? Take a minute and
read. This is not a get-rich-quick scheme. It is your own home business
developing mailing lists.
 
It is legal. Like most people, I am skeptical of things of this nature. But
after much thought, I have tried it out. It does take work on your end to
make it work, but in the end you will be satisfied.
 
Please read through the attached comments and excerpts. They are quite
thourough on how this will work for you. There is absolutely nothing to
lose on this deal!!!

        ** Excerpt from Bob Novak who started this new version. **
               New Version! 1997 (Legal questions addressed!!)

"In late October of 1996, I saw an article in an internet newsgroup telling
me that I could make $50,000 within a month for an investment of only
$5.00. I thought "Oh yeah!!
I've got a bridge I'll sell you too!!" It sounded like all the other
"get-rich-quick" schemes and scams I've seen over the past 40 years.
  
I spoke to my attorney, a few friends and family about it, and they all
agreed it was some kind of a scam. I can't stand scams, because usually
some gets burned, and I didn't want it to be me. After rejecting the idea
at first, it kind of played on my mind and I thought "what if it REALLY
worked?" I realized all I had to lose was $5.00. I usually blow that much
on the lottery every week anyway, so I figured what the heck,  and decided
to give it a shot.  Within two weeks I began recieving money in the mail!!
Soon, hundreds, and thousands of dollars began to roll in. Within 4 weeks,
I had recieved a total of $46,812.00!! It came from everywhere in the
world. Lately I've doubled my efforts and the money is rolling in even
faster. I would tell you how much but then the IRS would know also. Let'S 
just say, it's a VERY comfortable living. Now, I am really going to work.
 
If I can make as much money as I have on a lousy $5.00 investment, why not
double it and make the "BIG BUCKS" twice as fast? Anybody can afford to
gamble $5.00 on a chance to make $100,000.00 or more in a month, especially
when the business has proven itself."



If you follow the three steps below,there is no reason why the same
shouldn't happen to you! This is a legitimate investment opportunity. You
invest $5.00, and you recieve a return on your investment. So does the next
investor. THIS IS NOT ILLEGAL. THIS IS NOT A CHAIN LETTER. THIS IS
PERFECTLY LEGITIMATE. (See additional legal details below.)




THE PROCEDURE IS SIMPLE:

Invest your $5.00 by writing your name and address on five seperate pieces
of paper along with the words: PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING LIST: $1.00
USD PROCESSING FEE IS ENCLOSED." (In this way you're paying for a
legitimate service). Fold $1.00 U.S, Treasury bill, money order,or bank
note inside each of paper, and mail them by standard U.S. mail to the
following five addresses (to guarantee delivery to internationial address,
e.g. Europe, please use Air Mail if possible):


1.   Michael Belcher
     3598 Teays Valley
     Apt. D-6
     Hurricane, WV 25526
     United States of America

2.   Shannon McCoy
     2284 W. Main St.
     Ottumwa, IA 52501
     United States of America

3.   Rick Smith
     6101 N. 90th St Apt#1
     Omaha, NE 68134
     United States of America

4.   C. L. C.
     P.O. Box 195
     Ellensburg, WA 98926
     United States of America

5.   Andy Costain
     10 Collingwood
     Farnborough
     Hampshire, GU14 6LX
     United Kingdom

6.   Ed Gains
     1544 Muirfield Drive
     Dyer, IN 46311
     United States of America
     


2)  Now remove the top name from the list, and move the other four names
up. In other words, #6 becomes #5, #5 becomes #4 and so forth. Put your
name as the sixth one on the list. You can do this simply by retyping the
article or reposting it to other newsgroups with the edited address.

3)  Post the article to AT LEAST 200 newsgroups. There are over 22,000, so
it shouldn't be hard to find that many.**OR** being that there is about
1 new aol member per minute, you can get a program that will mass-mail people on aol!
It's the BEST way, I've found out. Remember, there are no "Free
Lunches." ********IF YOU KNOW HOW TO COPY AND PASTE THINGS, IT WILL SAVE YOU HOURS OF TYPING AND YOU CAN SEND TO HUNDREDS OF NEWSGROUPS AT ONE TIME!
The harder you work, the more money you make. You are now inthe
mail order business, and should start seeing returns within a week or two.
Of course, the more newsgroups you post to, the greater your return will
be. If you wish to remain anonymous, you may use a pseudonym, but make sure
the address is correct.



LEGAL????

People have asked me if this is really legal. It is!! You are using the
Internet to advertise your business. What is that business? You are
assembling a mailing list of people who are interested in home bases
computer and online businesses and methods of generating income at home.
Remember. People send a small fee to be added to your list. It is legal.
What will you do with your list of names? That's up to you.



MORE LEGALESE:

This opportunity has been incorrectly described as a 'pyramid' scheme by
doubters and those unwilling to risk $5.00 for the chance at a huge payoff.
This is not a pyramid, and not even as close to one as many 'legitimized'
multi-level marketing systems. (Amway NSA, etc. etc)

The difference here is that the names above you do not remain on the list
forever...  in five rounds they are removed with no further effort on your
part. There is no residual income that lasts forever with no further effort
on your part. You can always add your name to the bottom of the next list
you see, but you start from the bottom again.
  
Build your mailing list, keep good accounts, declare your income, and pay
your taxes. By doing this you prove your business intentions, and can also
take advantage of business write-offs on your tax return. You need your
computer, an Internet account, and a spreadsheet, database or mailing list
software to conduct your business. You will also need to drive to the bank,
the post office, the office supply store -- all of these costs can be used
to offset your income taxes.

There really is no risk-- eat cheaper lunches for a week and you've covered
your $5.00. The biggest risk is not to try.

There's my pitch. Now back to Bob Novak:



NOW HERE IS WHY THE SYSTEM WORKS:

The internet is growing at a tremendous rate. It doubles in size every 4
months. Think about it. You see those "Make Money Fast" posts more and
more. All that growth means profits for everyone who participates. There
are no losers.

Of every 200 posts I made, I recieved 5 responses. That probably doesn't
seem like much. You make $5.00 for every 200 posts with your name on #5.

Each person who sent you $1 now also makes 200 posts with your name at #4
i.e...1000 postings. On average therefore, 50 people send you $1 with your
name at #4=$50.00.

Your 50 new agents make 200 postings each with your name at #3 or 10,000
postings. Average return 500 people=$500.00. They make 200 postings=5000
return each with your name at #2=100,000 postings=5000 return at $1
each=$5,000.00.

Finally, 5,000 people make 200 postings with your name at #1 and you get a
return of $50,000.00 before your name drops off the list. AND THAT'S IF
EVERYONE DOWN THE LINE MAKES ONLY 200 POSTINGS Total income in one cycle =
$50,000.00.

From time to time, when you no longer see your name on the list, you take
the latest posting that appears in the newsgroups, and send out another $5
and put your name at #5, and start posting again. Remember, 200 postings is
only a guideline. The more you post, the greater the return.

Lets revies why you should do this. THE ONLY COST IS $5, 5 STAMPS, AND 5
ENVELOPES. Anyone can afford $5.00 for such an effortless investment with
such SPECTACULAR RETURNS.

Some people have said to me, "What happens if the program is played out and
no one sends me money?" Big Deal, so you lose $5.00 but what are the
chances of that happening? SINCE THIS IS A BRAND NEW PROGRAM AS OF JANUARY
1, 1997, YOU'RE IN ON THE GROUND FLOOR!

There are millions of internet users, and millions of net surfers every
month.

Remember, read the instructions carefully, and play fairly. THAT's the only
way this will work. Get a printout so you can easily refer back to this
article.

Keep a list of everyone who sends you money, keep good books, pay your
taxes, and always keep an eye on the postings to make sure everyone is
playing fairly. You know where your name should be.

If you're not really sure or still think this can't be for real, then don't
do it. But please print this article and pass it along to someone you know
who really needs the bucks, and see what happens.

REMEMBER -- HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY. WHAT IS $5 TO YOU? YOU DON'T NEED
TO CHEAT TO MAKE MONEY!!!!! (We will monitor the program and if we find
someone who has cheated and not sent in their money to the five recipients,
we will just dump that person out of the program.) This is the easiest way
that you can make a buck. Think how excited you will be to open up your
mailbox day after day! Will it be $50? Or $5,000? Start making your plans,
because it can happen to you.

DON'T PASS UP THIS ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY!!!!!

HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS FAST WITH YOUR WEB BROWSER:


The Fastest Way To Post To a Newsletter:

Highlight and COPY (Ctrl-C) the text of this e-mail message and PASTE it
into a text editor (Notepad) and SAVE it ( as a .txt file).

After you have made the necessary changes that are outlined above, simply
COPY and PASTE the text into the message section of the message composition
window, select a Newsgroup and post it!

If you have Netscape 3.0 do EXACTLY the following:
Click on any news group like normal, THEN click on 'TO NEWS' which is on
the far left when you're in the newsgroup page. This will bring up a box to
type a message in.

Leave the newsgroup box like it is, CHANGE the subject box to something
flashy, like "NEED CASH?", οΏ½READ HERE" or "FAST CASH!!!!"

Tab once and you should be ready to type. Now, retype (only once) THIS
WHOLE ARTICLE WORD FOR WORD, except insert your name at #5, and remove #1
off the list, plus any other small changes you think you need to make. Keep
almost all of it the same.

When your done typing the WHOLE article, click on FILE in this box, right
above SEND, NOT WHERE IT SAYS NETSCAPE NEWS ON THE FIRST BOX.

Click on SAVE AS when under FILE. Save your article as a text file to your
C: or A: drive. DO NOT SEND OR POST YOUR ARTICLE UNTIL YOU DO THIS. Once
saved, move on to number 5 below.

NOTE: If you don't want to type in the whole article by hand, AND YOU KNOW
HOW TO USE PLAIN TEXT EDITOR  (like Notepad) you can edit the file ahead of
time, then attach it as shown in step 6.

If you still have all of your text, send or post to this newsgroup now by
just clicking SEND ( right below FILE, and right above Cc:)

Here's where you are going to post all 200. Ok, click on any newsgroup then
click on 'TO NEWS' , again in the top left corner. Leave the NEWSGROUPS BOX
alone again, put a flashy subjuct title in the SUBJECT BOX, hit TAB once
and you're in the body of the message. Click on ATTACHMENTS, which is below
the SUBJECT BOX. You will get another box to come up. Click on ATTACH FILE,
then click 'OPEN'. Now click OK; if you did this right, you should see your
file name in the attachments box, and it will be shaded green.

NOTE; If you don't want to type the whole article and you know how to use
PLAIN TEXT EDITOR ( Notepad) you can edit the file ahead of time, the
attach it.



QUICK TIP:

You can post this message to many newsgroups at the same time be simply
selecting a newsgroup near the top of the screen, hold down the SHIFT key,
the select a newsgroup near the bottom of the screen. All of the newsgroups
in-between will also be selected.



IF YOU USE IE EXPLORER.......

ITS JUST AS EASY.....HOLDING DOWN THE LEFT MOUSE BUTTON, highlight this
article. Then press "crtl" key and the "c" key at the same time to copy
this article. Then print this article for your records, to have the names
of those you will be sending $1 bills to.

Go to the newsgroups and press "post an article". The window will open.
Type in your headline in the subject area and then click in the large
window below. Press "crtl" and then the "v" and the article will be placed
in the window.

If you want to edit the article, do so and then highlight and copy it
again. Now every time you post the article in a newsgroup all you have to
repeat is "crtl" and "v" and press post.

That's it!! Each time you do this, all you have to do is type in a
different newsgroup, so that way, it posts to 200 diferent newsgroups, or
more!

You see? Now you just have 199 to go. (Don't worry, each one takes about 30
seconds, once you get used to it.)

** REMEMBER -- 200 IS THE MINIMUM, 1000 SHOULD BE YOUR GOAL **
