   READING THIS CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE!! (1/2

   READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE!   
      
   I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while back,   
   I   
   was browsing through   
   newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to   
   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 address stated in the   
   article.   
   You then place your   
   own name and address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article   
   in   
   at least 200   
   newsgroups. (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? Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well 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 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's still   
   growing. This is now my   
   fourth week and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's 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   
   article 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. And, your   
   investment is only $6.00 (Plus postage)   
      
   IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not illegal; and   
   it   
   is virtually no risk   
   - it really works!!!! If all of the following instructions are adhered to,   
   you   
   will receive   
   extraordinary dividends.   
      
   PLEASE NOTE: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can   
   be   
   yours in 20 to 60   
   days. This program remains successful because of the honesty and 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 and   
   tangible, it's 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 the mailing lists is   
   secondary to the income   
   which is made from people like you and me asking to be included in that   
   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 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of   
   the   
   6 pieces of paper so   
   the bill will not be seen through the envelope (to prevent thievery). 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. What you   
   are   
   doing is creating a   
   service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service   
   and   
   you are paying for   
   it! 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 U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they   
   confirmed that it is indeed   
   legal! Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:   
      
   #1) K WHITAKER   
   RR# 2 OX 2032 HALLSTEAD PA 18822   
      
   #2) SHANNON NICKERSON   
   P.P. BOX 95 CLARK'S HARBOUR SHELB.CO NS BOW 1P0   
      
   #3) DANNY MARLO   
   655 EAST 92 ST BROOKYLN NY, 11236   
      
   #4) JUSTIN BUTLER   
   7201 SPENCER HWY. #251 PASADENA, TX 77505   
      
   #5) K. KAZIOR   
        2536 N  SAWYER AVE APT 208   
        Chicago IL 60647   
      
   #6) CELINE DANIEL   
         BLOCK 240 YISHUN RING ROAD #12-1060   
         SINGAPORE 760240   
      
      
   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 article as close   
   to   
   original as possible.   
   Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. (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 Title 18 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,   
   and again.   
      
   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 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 a   
   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 bill 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 you're in business!   
      
   ---DIRECTIONS ----- FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS------------ Step 1) You do   
   not need to re-type

   Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top of the

   'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter 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   
   postings in different   
   settings, you'll always have this file to go back to.   
      
   Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for various   
   newsgroups (on-line forums,   
   message boards, chat sites, discussions.)   
      
   Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by   
   highlighting the text   
   of this letter and selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject,
