It's also illegal and stupid. The only way one of these deals is legal
is if the government does it!

your

>> You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large
>> cor****ations
>> are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists.
>> However, the CASH made from the mailing lists is secondary to the
income,
>> which is made from people like you and me

>> Please remember to declare your extra income on
>> your income tax forms. Build your mailing list, keep good accounts,
>> declare
>> the income and pay your taxes. By doing this you
>> prove your business intentions.
>> Here are the 3 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 (it might be a good idea to wrap the $1
>> bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail theft). 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.
>> Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:
>>
>> #1 Josie Jayne
>> 3908 N FM 157 Venus, TX 76084
>> #2Larry Schmidt
>> 106 Quill Cres, Saskatoon, SK S7K4T9
>> #3 Laurie Arevalo
>> 1013 Greenbrae Drive Sparks, Nevada 89431
>> #4 Dustin Smith
>> 29833 Cr.6 Elkhart, IN, 46514
>> #5 PINAR KILICHAN
>> 259 Fairmont Drive, Edmonton, AB A5B4D1
>> #6 Cassandra Ryan
>> 11354 Dundarrach Ln 86 Charlotte, NC 28277
>>
>> 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 300 newsgroups. (I think there are close to 32,000
>> groups) All you need is 300, but remember, the more you
>> post, the more CASH you make! Keep a copy of these steps for yourself
and,
>> whenever you need CASH, you can use it
>> again, and again.
>> PLEASE REMEMBER: 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 a
>> person of integrity, the program will continue and the
>> CASH
>> that so many others have received will come your way. You don't need to
>> cheat the basic idea to make the CASH!!
>> 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
>> op****tunity 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 letter, 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 this 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 CASH YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 300**
>> That's it! You will begin receiving CASH 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 300 postings, say I receive only 7 replies (a
>> very
>> low example). So then I made $7.00 with my
>> name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 7 persons who just sent me
>> $1.00
>> make the MINIMUM 300 postings, each with
>> my name at #5 and only 7 persons respond to each of the 7 original 7,
that
>> is another $49.00 for me, now those 49 each make
>> 300 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 7 replies each, I will
bring
>> in an additional $343.00! Now, those 343
>> persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 300 with my name at #3 and
only
>> receive 7 replies each, I will make an
>> additional $2401.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 2401
>> persons post a MINIMUM 300 letters with my name
>> at #2 and they each only receive 7 replies, that just made me
>> $16,807.00!!!
>> Those 16807 persons will all deliver this message
>> to 300 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 7 persons per 300
>> Newsgroups react I will receive $117,649.00! With an
>> original investment of only $6.00! And some stamps. 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 CASH? 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.
>> Keep an eye on the newsgroups and when the cash has stopped coming
(that
>> means your name is no longer on the list), you
>> just take the latest posting at the newsgroups, send another $6.00 to
the
>> names stated on the list, make your corrections (put
>> your name at #6) and start posting again.
