So I thought,"Yeah, right, this must be a scam",but like most of >us, but 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 mewsgroups.(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............. > >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!! > >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 Evan Felix > 620 E. 600 N. #2 > Logan, UT 84321 > USA > >#2 Adam Windsor > 5885 S.

Mangan > 5408 Mallard Pt. > Gainsville, GA 30504 > USA > >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 >postswith 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. > >**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. 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 6 $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!!!
