   I found this in a news group and decided to try it. A little while back,   
   I was browsing through news groups, just like you are now and came   
   across a message just like 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 message. You then place   
   your own name and address at the bottom of the list at #6 and post the   
   message in at least 200 news groups. (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? So I invested the measly $6.00!!! 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 had 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 is still growing!!! This is now my fourth week and I have made a   
   total of just over $42,000.00 and it is still coming in rapidly!!! It's   
   certanly 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 message 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!!! Your investment is only $6.00 (plus   
   postage).   
      
   IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off!!! It is not   
   illegal!!! ? It is almost entirely risk free and it really works!!! If   
   all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will recieve   
   extraordinary dividends!!!   
      
   Please note: Follow these directions EXACTLY, and $60,000.00 or more can   
   be yours in 20 to 90 days!!! This program remains successful because of   
   the honesty and the 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 or tangible, it is 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 a mailing list is secondary   
   to the income which is made from people like you and me asking to be   
   included on your mailing list!!!   
      
   Here are the 4 easy steps to success:   
      
   Step 1: Get 6 seperate pieces of paper and write the following on each   
   piece of paper.   
      
   PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST   
      
   Now get 6 U.S. dollar bills and place ONE inside each of the 6 pieces of   
   paper so the bills will not be seen through the envelopes (to prevent   
   mail theft). 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.   
   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 aspect of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Postal Service   
   and they confirmed that it is indeed legal!!!   
      
   Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:   
      
   L.R.M.   
   1107 Panama St.   
   Houston, TX 77009   
      
   A.M.R.   
   23645 Cora   
   Brownstown, MI. USA 48183   
      
   K. Costello   
   20812 135 Ave SE   
   Kent, WA 98042 USA   
      
   B. Brown   
   1208 Steeple Ridge Ct   
   McKinney, Tx 75069 USA   
      
   M. Lussier   
   3112 133A Ave NW   
   Edmonton, AB   
   T5A 2Z8   
      
   Mourgo   
   27 Major Mackenzie Dr.   
   Suite 201   
   Richmond Hill, ON   
   L4C 1G7 CANADA   
      
   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 message as   
   close to what you see as possible. Now, post your amended message to at   
   least 200 news groups. 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!!! This is perfectly legal!! If you have any doubts, refer to   
   Title18 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.   
      
   Please remember that this program remains successful because of the   
   honesty and the 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 recieved will come your way!!!   
      
   Note: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you, either   
   on your computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you. This   
   verifies that you are truely providing a service. Also, it might be a   
   good Idea to wrap the $1 bills 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 your in business!!!
