    From JENNIFER LEAL@1:10/345 to ALL on Sat Oct 5 12:37:36 2002
    does anyone have valid information about this. please let me know Thank you IT'S SIMPLE AND IT'S LEGAL!!!!!!! I found this on a bulletin board
    and decided to try it a little while back, I was browsing through
    news groups just as you are right now and came across a article
    similar to this saying that 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 one dollar to each
    of the six names and addresses stated in the article. You then delete
    the first address and change the numbers. ( 2 becomes 1, 3 becomes 2,
    etc.) place your own name and address on the bottom of the list at
    number 6 and post the article to at least 200 newsgroups. (there are thousands) No catch that was it. Therefore, after talking to a few
    people and thinking it over I decided to try it. What do I have to
    lose except 6 stamps and $6.00 right? Then I invested the measly six
    dollars. WELL GUESS WHAT!!! Within 7 days, I started getting money in
    the mail!!! I was shocked. I thought it was going to stop but it just
    kept coming. In my first week, I made $25.00. By the end of the
    second week, I had $900.00. In the end of the third week, I made
    $5,000.00!!! It's still growing right now. This is now my fourth week
    and I have made a total of just over $38,000.00! Moreover, it's still
    coming in rapidly. This is 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 that 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 possibly thought just
    by doing something so easy!! SUGGESTION: READ THIS ENTIRE MESSAGE
    CAREFULLY (Print it out or down load 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 virtually 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 a 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 a mailing list. Many large corporations are
    happy to pay big bucks for quality list. However, the money made from
    the mailing list is secondary to the income, which is made from
    people like you and me asking to be included to that list. Here are
    the four steps to success: STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper
    write the following on each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR
    MAILING LIST." Now get 6 us 1dollar bills and place ONE inside EACH
    of the six 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. MAKE SURE THERE ARE ENOUGH STAMPS ON YOUR
    ENVELOPES. 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 six envelopes to the following addresses.
    #1) Salem Nemo P.O. Box 82 Aquashicola, PA 18012
    #2) Tremay Springer 5405 Pohopoco Rd. Lehighton, PA 18235
    #3) Dawn Agyei 881 Lafayette Ave Apt 4 Cinti OH 45220
    #4) Maribel Alvarez 5045 W. 24th St. Apt. B, Cicero, IL. 60804
    #5) Hang Saver 200 Burk Way, Oklahoma city, Ok 73115
    #6) Jennifer Leal 3700 N Campbell Apt. 1119, Tucson, AZ 85719
    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 original as possible. Now post your amended article

    to at
    least 200 news groups. ( I think there are 24,000 groups) All you
    need is 200, but remember, the more you post , the more money you
    make!** EVERYBODY AROUND THE WORLD CAN DO THIS BUT REMEMBER TO PUT ENOUGH STAMPS ON YOUR ENVELOPES!!!!** 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 your self 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 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, on
    either a computer or a hard copy and keep the notes people sent you.
    This verifies that you are truly providing a service. (Remember to
    wrap the $1 bill in the note to prevent 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 spot you will be receiving thousands of
    dollars in CASH!!!!! What an opportunity for only $6.00 ($1 for each
    of the six people listed above) Send it now, add your own name to the
    list and you're in business! DIRECTIONS: HOW TO POST TO NEWS GROUPS
    STEP 1: You do not need to retype 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 the copy of the letter into notepad
    so 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 come back to. STEP 4: Use
    Netscape and Internet Explorer and try searching for various news
    groups (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 the
    first one! CONGRATULATIONS,.THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to
    different news groups and post away, after you get the hang of it, it
    will take 30 seconds for each newsgroup! **REMEMBER, THE MORE
    NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN (MESSAGE BOARDS ETC.) 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
    THE ADDRESS IS CORRECT** Let me break it down, say I receive only 5
    replies, so then I made $5 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now each
    of the 5 persons who just sent me $1 made the MINIMUM 200 postings,
    each with my name at #5 and only 5 people respond to the original 5
    people. That is another $25 for me. Now those 25 people make the
    MINIMUM 200 post with my name at number 4 and only 5 replies each, I
    will make $125. Now, those 125 people post the MINIMUM 200 postings
    with my name at #3 and only get 5 replies each, I will make an
    additional $626! Ok, now here's the fun part each of those 625 people
    post a MINIMUM 200 with my name at #2 ant they only get 5 replies
    that just made me $3,125!!! Those 3125 people send a MINIMUM 200
    postings and they only get 5 replies each with my name at #1, I will
    receive $15,625!!! With an original investment of $6!!!!
    AMAZING!!!! . When your name is no longer on the list, you just take
    the latest postings in the news groups and send out another $6 to
    names on the list putting yourself at #6 and start posting again.
    Thousands of people are joining the internet each day and they are
    reading articles like these just as you are right now. So this can
    never be played out just keep it going and you can make tons of money
    too!!!! Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really work.

    You wouldn't want someone to cheat you the same way you may be cheating.
