   > A while back, I was browsing these newsgroups, just like you are now, and   
   came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of   
   CASH within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00 plus stamps! So I   
   thought, "Yeah, right, this must be a scam!" But like most of us I was   
   curious and kept reading. It said that if you send $1.00 to each of the 6   
   names and addresses listed in the article, you could make thousands in a   
   very short period of time. You then place your own name and address at the   
   bottom of the list at #6, and post the article to at least 300 newsgroups.   
   (There are about 32,000 of them out there and that's quite a large market   
   pool). No catch, that was it. Even though the investment was a measly $6, I   
   had three questions that needed to be answered before I could get involved   
   in this sort of thing.   
   > 1. IS THIS REALLY LEGAL?   
   > I called a lawyer first. The lawyer was a little skeptical that I would   
   > actually make any CASH but he said it WAS LEGAL if I wanted to try it. I   
   told him it sounded a lot like a chain letter but the details of the system   
   (SEE BELOW) actually made it a legitimate legal business.   
   > 2. IS OK WITH THE POST OFFICE OR IS IT MAIL FRAUD?   
   > I called them: 1-800-725-2161 and they confirmed THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL!   
   (See 18, h sections1302 NS 1341 of Postal Lottery Laws). This clarifies the   
   program of collecting names and addresses for a mailing list.   
   > 3. IS IT RIGHT?   
   > Well, everyone who sends me a buck has a good chance of getting A LOT of   
   CASH ... a much better chance than buying a lottery ticket!!!   
   > So, having these questions answered, I invested EXACTLY $7.92 ... six $1.00   
   > bills and six 32 cent postage stamps ... and boy am I glad I did!!!   
   > Within 7 days, I started getting CASH in the mail! I was shocked! I figured   
   > it would end soon and didn't give it another thought. But the CASH continued   
   coming in. In my first week I made between $20 to $30.   
   > By the end of the second week I had a made a total of $1,000.00. In the   
   third week I had over $10,000.00 and it was still growing. This is now my   
   fourth week and I have made a total of just over $42,000 and it's still   
   coming in.....   
   > It's certainly worth $6.00 and 6 stamps !!!   
   > 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 CASH 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 CASH 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 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 CASH   
   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 3   
   easy steps to success:   
   >   
   > STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following with your   
   name and address 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). 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) PDD   
   >    250 Panther Hieghts   
   >    Mountain Home Ar 72653   
   > #2) P.H.C.   
   >    766 CLOVER STREET   
   >    JESUP, GA 31545   
   > #3) B.E.W.   
   >    2202 Foothill Lane   
   >    Santa Barbara, CA 93105   
   > #4) G . LAND .   
   >    1070  Graham  # 3   
   >    Mount-Royal  Qc   Canada   H3P 2G2   
   > #5)Darryl Johnson   
   >    7949 New Salem Street   
   >    San Diego, CA 92126   
   > #6) Jaclynn Baldwin   
   >     115 24th Ave S.W.   
   >     Cedar Rapids, IA 52404   
      
   > 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.   
   > Be very careful ! This step has to be done with an extra special care in   
   order to make sure all of us will gather the fruits of our previous   
   contribution .   
   > 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! This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer   
   to 18 Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws. Keep a copy of these   
   steps for yourself and, whenever you need CASH, 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 a person of integrity, the program will continue and   
   the CASH 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 CASH 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   
   > 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own
