                              HELLO,

     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 skeptical 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) KEVIN LEE
     8377 APT. I MONTGOMERY RUN RD.
     ELLICOTT CITY MD 21043

#2) Joshua A. Goff
     RT. 1 Box 406
     Keysville, VA 23947

#3) Jeff Millan
     1113 N. 19 �
     McAllen,TX 78501

 #4) R. Overton
     P.O. Box 18818
     So. Lake Tahoe, CA 96151

 #5) Stephen Conway
       1024 Crescent Dr.
        Roswell NM 88201

 #6)  Nathan Salerno
     618 North Taylor Ave. apt 3
     Pittsburgh PA 15212

     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 this entire letter to do your own
     posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and
     drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy'
     from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the
     computer's memory.

     Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' 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 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, this will be the header that
     everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a
     particular group, click the post message button. You're done with
     your first one! Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is
     jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of
     it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup!
     **REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL
MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A
     MINIMUM OF 200**
     That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the world within
days! You may eventually want to rent a P.O.Box due to the large amount of
mail you
     will receive. If
     you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as
     the postman will deliver it.
     **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.**

     Now the WHY part:
     Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example).
So then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5
persons
     who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200
     postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each
     of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each
     make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I
     will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn
     around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5
     replies each, I will make an additional $626.00! OK, now here is the
     fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with
     my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me
     $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200
     newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200
     newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00! With an original
     investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the
     list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send
     out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6
     again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is: do you
     realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the
     internet and reading these articles everyday?, JUST LIKE YOU are
     now!! So, can you afford $6.00 and see if it really works?? I think
     so... People have said, &quote;what if the plan is played out and no
     one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that
     happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest
     people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are
     willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new
     users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual
     internet.
     Remember: play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really
     work.
