   MAKE ££££'S FROM £3!!! IT REALLY WORKS !!   
      
   MAKE £5,000+ WITH JUST £3 AND 6 STAMPS!! YES IT REALLY WORKS AND IS   
   TOTALLY LEGAL! READ ON... YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!!! MAKE QUICK AND   
   EASY MONEY - THIS ACTUALLY WORKS! : I READ THIS ARTICLE ON A MESSAGE   
   BOARD A FEW YEARS AGO AND THOUGHT I WOULD GIVE IT A GO AND WHILST I   
   DIDN'T MAKE MY MILLIONS, I DID MAKE £4000. IM DOING IT AGAIN BECAUSE   
   ITS SO EASY.THE ORIGINAL ARTICLE IS BELOW.   
      
   Make £500-£5,000 or more, with just £3 and 6 stamps. Earn money honest   
   and fairly. HOW TO TURN £3 INTO £5,000!!! OR MORE!!! IT REALLY WORKS.   
   I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while   
   back, I was browsing message boards, just like you are now, and came   
   across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of   
   pounds within weeks with only an initial investment of £3!!   
      
   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 have to send 50p   
   to each of the 6 names and addresses stated in the article. You then   
   place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at No6,and   
   post the article in as many newsgroups and message boards as you can.   
   (There are thousands) No catch, that was it.   
      
   So after thinking it over, and talking to few people first, I thought   
   about trying it. I figured what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and   
   3 quid right?" Then I invested the measly £3,Well guess what? Within 7   
   days, I started getting money in the post! I was shocked! I figured it   
   would end soon; but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I   
   made about £30.   
      
      
   By the end of the second week I had made a total of over £900. In the   
   third week I had over £3,000 and was still growing.. It's certainly   
   worth £3 and 6 stamps! Let me tell you how this works and most   
   importantly, why it works. It's really simple and easy. I promise you   
   that if you follow the directions exactly, that you will start making   
   more money than you thought! Suggestion: Read this entire message   
   carefully. (Print it out or copy and paste it into notepad or a blank   
   email or similar) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come   
   in!   
      
   IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not   
   illegal; and it is no risk-AND it really works. If all of the following   
   instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends.   
   PLEASE NOTE: This program remains successful because of the honesty and   
   integrity of the participants. Please continue its success by carefully   
   adhering to the instructions.   
      
   *** 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 and then write your   
   name and address below that. Now get 6 UK 50p coins and tape ONE to   
   EACH of the 6 pieces of paper and fold the piece of paper in half so   
   the coin will not break through the envelope. Next, place one of the   
   pieces of paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. Then stamp   
   them-(2nd class stamp will be fine if you want to keep your costs even   
   lower). What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY   
   LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for   
   it. (very little!) Like most of us I was a little sceptical and a   
   little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out   
   with the UK Post Office and they confirmed that it is indeed legal. If   
   you have any worries, refer to Title18 Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal   
   lottery laws. It is fantastically - completely legal!   
   Now send your 6 envelopes to the addresses below:   
      
      
      
   No.1) R. Burrage, 4,Church Farm Cottages, Church Road, Stockton, Nr Beccles,   
   Suffolk. NR34 0HJ.,   
   No.2) J.Ainsley, 6 The Orchard, Hepscott, Morpeth, Northumberland, NE61 6HT,   
   No.3) Anthony Clifton, 5 St Lawrence Close, High Pittington, Durham, DH6 1RB   
   No 4) Heather MacRae 18Sqn RAF Odiham Hook Hampshire RG291QT.   
   No.5) T. Weir, 132 Westland Road, Portadown, Co.Armagh, N.I, BT62 4DJ   
   No.6) R.Fletcher, 25 Shackstead Lane, Godalming, Surrey, GU7 1RL   
      
   *IMPORTANT: You MUST do this step or these people will not be able to   
   add your name to their mailing lists as spaces become available on them   
   and you will lose out on a lot of money *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 follow the rules completely, the program will   
   continue and therefore so will your money! *   
      
   STEP 2: Now take the number 1 name off the list that you see above and   
   move the others up 1. (6 becomes 5,5 becomes 4,etc.) And add YOUR name   
   and address at number 6 on the list.   
      
   STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as   
   close to the original as possible. Now, post your amended article to as   
   many newsgroups and message boards as you can (You should really try to   
   aim for at least 200 which isn't as difficult as it sounds with the   
   'copy and paste' feature - more on this below) I think there are close   
   to 34,000 groups. And remember, the more you post, the more money you   
   make! ** Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need   
   money, you can use it again, and again. So, as each post is sent and   
   the directions followed carefully, six members will be reimbursed for   
   their participation as a List Developer with 50p : pence each. Your   
   name will move up the list geometrically so that when your name reaches   
   the No1 position you will be receiving thousands of Pounds in CASH!!!   
   What an opportunity for only £3.   
      
   *DIRECTIONS FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS* :   
      
   STEP 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter   
   simply highlight all of it. Select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will   
   copy the entire letter into the computer's memory.   
      
   STEP 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file or a blank email and place your   
   cursor at the top of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'.   
   This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad or a blank email so   
   that : you can add your name to the list.   
      
   STEP 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt. file or save your email   
   with the document now on it.   
      
   STEP 4) Search for various news groups (on-line forums, message boards,   
   discussions groups) using a search engine or however you like.
