|    Postal Lottery: Turn $6 into $60,000 in     |
|    30 Sep 03 03:26:59    |
      From: anon@anon.com              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 newsgroups, 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 to       choose from). 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 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 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:-                     S. A. Blair       14601 Portland Ave #219       Burnsville, MN 55306              D. Kumar       Room 2.36 Burkhardt House       Oxford Place, Victoria Park       M14 5RR Manchester       ENGLAND              T. Perce       11505 Headley Avenue       Cleveland, Oh 44111                            T. Beckers       Rijksweg 46       6267AH Cadier en Keer       The Netherlands              J. Eddolls       144 Pursey Drive       Bradley Stoke       Bristol       BS32 8DP       United Kingdom              Louis Joseph       1933 Highway 35, #104       Wall, NJ 07719-3502              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 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 highlighting the text of this message from your notepad and              [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
