: WOW $6.00
:
:
: THIS REALLY CAN MAKE YOU EASY MONEY!! ITWORKS!!! BUT YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW IT TO A LETTER FOR IT TO WORK!!!! 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? 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! 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. 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 by
: this. THIS IS
: ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! Mail the 6 envelopes to the
: following addresses:
:
: #1) Grant
: P.O.Box 703394
: New Smyrna Beach, FL 32170
:
#2) Cindy
: P.O. Box 276
: Albion, RI 02802
:
#3) Nash
: 108 Jacksons Run
: Morganton, NC 28655
:
: #4) Kei
: 28 Westcott St
: Old Tappan, NJ 07675
:
#5) Bob
: 661 Wichita Ave.
: El Cajon, CA 92019
:
: #6) M Watts
: South house, Reading School
: Reading
: Berks, RG1 5LL
: ENGLAND
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! ---DIRECTIONS -----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
: computers 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 sittings, 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
: newsgroupes 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 reciving 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 $625.00! 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 a 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
