   Postal lottery: Turn $6 into $60,000 in    
   23 Jul 03 08:58:19   
   
   From: lstaats@bright.net   
      
   Postal lottery: Turn $6 into $60,000 in 90 days, GUARANTEED!!!   
      
   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 certainly worth $6.00   
   and 6 stamps!!! I have spent more than that on just tips at a restuarant!   
      
   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 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 receive 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 separate 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:   
      
   J.J. Maxey   
   355 N. Manila Ave.   
   Fresno, CA 93727   
   USA   
      
   Kyle Pate   
   P.o. Box 2046   
   Great Falls, MT 59403-2046   
   USA   
      
   G.H.L.   
   1600 N Thorntree Rd   
   Muncie, IN  47304-9710   
   USA   
      
   G. Skillen   
   32 Ebor Drive   
   Tates Avenue   
   Belfast, BT12 6NR   
   Northern Ireland   
      
   R Kliewer   
   2220 Tolmie Avenue   
   Coquitlam, B.C   
   Canada   
   V3K 3E2   
      
   L. Staats   
   19880 knox lake road   
   Fredericktown, OH 43019   
   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 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 60,000 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 received 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 truly 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!!!   
      
   DIRECTIONS FOR HOW TO POST TO A NEWS GROUP!!!   
      
   Step 1: You do not need to re-type this entire message to do your own   
   posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this message and drag   
   your cursor to the bottom of this message and select copy from the edit   
   menu. This will copy the entire message into the computer memory.   
      
   Step 2: Open a blank note pad 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   
   message 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   
   posting in a different setting, you'll always have this file to go back to.   
      
   Step 4: Use Netscape or Internet Explorer and try searching for various news   
   groups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions, etc.)   
      
   Step 5: Visit these message boards and post this message as a new message by
