: READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE! IT DOES WORK!
: I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while back, I was browsing through 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 addresses 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. 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?" Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well
: GUESS WHAT!?... within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but
: the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $25.00. 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 have 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. I
: promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you will start making more money than you thought possible
: by doing something so easy!
: Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (print it out or download it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the
: money come in!
: It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus postage)
: IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not illegal; and it is 99% no risk - it really works!
: If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends.
: PLEASE NOTE:
: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains
: successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its success by carefully adhering to
: the instructions.
: You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business your product is not solid and tangible, it's a
: service. You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are happy to pay big bucks for
: quality lists. However, the money made from the mailing lists is secondary to the income which is made from people
: like you and me asking to be included in that list.
: Here are the 4 easy steps to success:
:
: 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 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. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are
: requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it! 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. Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:
: #1)PFC Kevin Sugg
: 116 62 4866
: 5th Force Reconnaisance
: 3rd MAR DIV FMF PAC
: Unit 35885
: FPO AP 96602 - 5885
: Okinawa Japan
: #2)Philip Skleba
: 828 Burr Oak Circle
: Cary, IL 60013
: USA
: #3)Matt Shinay
: 290 Evans Street
: South Portland, ME 04106
: USA
: #4)Linda Lucier
: Rt3 Box281
: Coushatta, La. 71019
: USA
: #5)Peter Stääd
: Hyttgatan 68 B
: 79173 Falun
: Sweden
: #6)Ralph Baker
: Po Box. 2326
: Moses Lake, Wa 98837
: 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 are close to 24,000 groups) All you need is 200, but
: remember, the more you post, the more money you make! You won't get very much unless you post like crazy. :)
: This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws. Keep a
: copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money, you can use it again, and again.
: PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants
: and by their carefully adhering to the directions. Look at it this way. If you are of integrity, the program will continue
: and the money that so many others have received will come your way.
: NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you, either on a computer or hard copy and keep the
: notes people send you. This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might be a good idea to wrap
: the $1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail theft.)
: So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed, six members will be reimbursed for their
: participation as a List Developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so that when your
: name reaches the #1 position you will be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What an opportunity for only
: $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six people listed above) Send it now, add your own name to the list and you're in
: business!
: ---DIRECTIONS ----- FOR 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 drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the
: entire letter into the computer's memory. Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top of the
: blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add
: your name to the list. Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your postings in different
: settings, you'll always have this file to go back to. Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for
: various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.) Step 5) Visit these message boards and
: post this article as a new message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in the
: Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group, click
: the post message button. You're done with your first one! Congratulations...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!
: **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 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 will 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 an original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! 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 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 really work.
