$50,000.00 for only $20.00 within 3 MONTHS?????
==============================================

You gotta be crazy!  How on earth do you think you can buy 50 grand for
a
lousy 5 bucks?  Well that's what I was wondering until I came across
this
letter.

First of all, IT'S PERFECTLY LEGAL!  (Call 1 800-725-2161) if you have
any
questions about the opportunity of making $50,000.00 and up IN LESS THAN
THREE MONTHS!

Well, here it goes:
A little while back, I was browsing these 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
$20.00!
So I thought, "Yeah, right, this is a scam or a joke," but like you I
was
curious, so I kept reading.  Anyway, it said that you send $5.00 to each
of
the 4 names and addresses stated in the article.  You then place your
own
name and address in the bottom of the list at #4, and post the article
in
at least 200 newsgroups. (There are thousands) No catch, that was it.

I knew that this could be the opportunity I've been waiting for for a
long
time.  I thought it was about time that the money of the world get's
into
the right hands!  OURS, right?  I never had a doubt that this thing will
actually work and even if it didn't, what were 4 stamps and $20.00 for a
try?

As I mentioned before, like most of us I was very 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!

Now, that's how your story WILL sound like, if you participate:

Well GUESS WHAT!!... with in 7 days, I started getting money in the
mail! 
I was shocked! I still figured it would end soon, and didn't give it
another thought.  But the money just kept coming in.  In my first week,
I
made about $20.00 to $30.00 dollars.  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.........

Let me tell you how this 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. 
The
process is very simple and consists of 3 easy steps:

STEP 1:  Get 4 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each
piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST."  Now get 4 $5.00
bills
and place ONE inside each of the 4 pieces of paper so the bill will not
be
seen through the envelope to prevent thievery.  Next, place one paper in
each of the 4 envelopes and seal them.  You should now have 4 sealed
envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase and a
$5.00
bill.  What you are doing is creating a service by this.  THIS IS
PERFECTLY
LEGAL!  We are all making each other rich in a tidy little cycle.

Mail the 4 envelopes to the following addresses:


#1 Phil Walther Jr.
     9495 Annapolis Lane North
     Maple Grove, MN 55369


#2  J. Classen
      185-911 Yates st.
      Victoria, BC
      V8V 4Y9
      CANADA


#3  A. Bailey
      1207 Reeves Road
      Plainfield, IN 46168


#4  Mike Wilson
      Suite #407 894 Vernon Ave.
      Victoria, BC
      V8X 2W6
      Canada


STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the
other names up (2 becomes 1, 3 becomes 2, ect...) and add YOUR Name as
number 4 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 is close to 18,000 groups) All you need is
200,
but remember, the more you post, the more money you will make!

Don't know HOW to post in the newsgroup?  Well do exactly the following:

FOR NETSCAPE USERS:
1) Click on any newsgroup, like normal.  Then click on "To News", which
is
in the top left corner of the newsgroup page.  This will bring up a
message
box.

2) Fill in the Subject with a flashy title, like the one I used,
something
to catch the eye!!!

3) Now go to the message part of the box and retype this letter exactly
as
it is here, with exception of your few changes.(remember to add your
name
to number 4 and move the rest up.)

4) When your done typing in the WHOLE letter, click on 'FILE' above the
send button.  Then,'SAVE AS..'DO NOT SEND YOUR ARTICLE UNTILL YOU SAVE
IT.'(you don't want to type this 200 times do you.)

5) Now that you have saved the letter, go ahead and send your first
copy!
(click the 'SEND' button in the top left corner)

6) This is where you post all 200! OK, go to ANY newsgroup article and
click the 'TO NEWS' button again.  Type in your flashy subject in the
'SUBJECT BOX', then go to the message and place your curser here.  Now
click on 'ATTACHMENT' which is right below the "SUBJECT BOX" , click on
attach file then find your letter whereever you saved it.  Click once on
your file then click 'OPEN' then click 'OK'.  If you did this right you
should see your filename in the 'ATTACHMENT BOX' and it will be shaded.

NOW POST AWAY!

FOR INTERNET EXPLORER:
It's just as easy, holding down the left mouse button, highlight this
entire article, then press 'CTRL' key and 'C' key at the same time to
copy
this article.  Then print the article for your records to have the names
of
those you will be sending $5.00 to.

Go to the newsgroups and press 'POST AN ARTICLE' type in your flashy
subject and click the large window below.  Press 'CTRL' and'V' and the
article will appear in the message window. **BE SURE TO MAKE YOUR
ADDRESS
CHANGES TO THE 4 NAMES.**  Now re-highlight the article and re-copy it
so
you have the changes...  Then all you have to do for each newsgroup is
'CTRL' and 'V' and press 'POST'. It's that easy!!  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 you 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**

**If these instructions are too complex to follow, try Forte's "Free
Agent"
Its freeware for noncommercial use.  To download it, simply use a search
utility and type "Forte Free Agent".  You should be able to find it.**

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 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:

This entire principle works because it is in a format of an upside down
tree with thousands of branches.  Everyone below you will see to it that
the tree continues because they want to get money.  Those below THEM
will
continue because THEY want to get cash and so on.

Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies(a very low example). 
So
then I made $25.00 with my name at #4 on the letter.  Now, each of the 5
persons who just sent me $5.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with
my
name at #3 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that is
another $125.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my
name at #2 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional
$625.00! 
Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name
at
#1 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $3125.00!! 
Not bad with an original investment of only $5.00! AMAZING! 
And as I said 5 responses is actually VERY LOW!  Average is probably 20
to
30! So lets put those figures at just 15 responses per person.  Here is
what
you will make:

at#4 $75.00
at#3 $1125.00
at#2 $16,875.00
at#1 $253,125.00!!!

When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest
posting
in the newsgroups, and send out another $5.00 to each of the names on
the 
list,
putting your name at number 4 and start posting again.  The thing to
remember is that thousands of people all over the world are joining the
internet and reading these articles everyday, JUST LIKE YOU are now!!
And
this will go on and on and on...get the picture?  Well, there's
5,000,000,000 people on the world and most of them will eventually be
hooked up to the web.  Of course this will work the best at the very
beginning so the faster you post, the better for YOU!

So can you afford $20.00 and see if it really works?? I think so! 
People
have said, "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
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.  Remember, play FAIRLY and
HONESTLY
and this will work.  You just have to be honest.  Make sure you print
this
article out RIGHT NOW, also.  Try to keep a list of everyone that sends
you
money and always keep an eye on the newsgroups to make sure everyone is
playing fairly.

Remember, HONESTY IS THE ONLY POLICY IN THIS GAME.  You don't need to
cheat
the basic idea is to make the money!!

GOOD LUCK to all and please play fairly and reap the huge rewards from
this, which is tons of extra CASH. **By the way, if you try to deceive
people by posting the messages with your name in the list and not
sending
the money to the rest of the people already on the list, you WILL NOT
get
as much.  The guy that told me about this did that and only made about
$150.00, and that was after seven or eight weeks!  Then he sent in the 5
$1.00 bills, people added him to their lists, and in 4-5 weeks he had
over
$10k.  This is the fairest and most honest way I have ever seen to share
the wealth of the world without costing anything but our time!!  

Please remember to declare your extra income.  Thanks once again and
GOOD
LUCK.
