|    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              [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
