> STEP (2)
> Now remove the #1 name from the list, and move the other names up.
> This

> list.

> STEP (3)
> Post the article to at least 250 news groups. There are at least
> 20000
> news groups at any given moment in time. The more groups you post to,
> the more people will see your article and send you cash!

> Now here is how and why this system works:
>
> Out of every block of 250 posts I made, I got back 5 responses. Yes,
> that's right, only 5. You make $5.00 in cash, not checks or money
> orders, but real cash with your name at #5. Each additional person who
> sent you $1.00 now also makes 250 additional postings with your name
> at
> #4, 1000 postings. On average then, 50 people will send you $1.00
> with
> your name at #4 ... $50.00 in your pocket!
>
> Now these 50 new people will make 250 postings each with your name at
> #3
> or 10,000 postings. Average return, 500 people = $500. They make 250
> postings each with your name at #2 = 100,000 postings = 5000 returns
> at
> $1 each = $5000.00 in cash!
>
> Finally, 5,000 people make 250 postings each with your name at #1 and
> you get a return of $50,000 before your name drops off the list. And
> that's only if everyone down the line makes only 250 postings each!
> Your total income for this one cycle is about $55,000!
>
> >From time to time when you see your name is no longer on the list, you

> The end result depends on YOU. You must follow through and repost

>
> If you're really not sure or still think this can't be for real, then

>
> GENERAL STEPS ON AUTOMATING THE PROCESS:
>
> Make any necessary changes to this article as explained in step (2)
> and
> when you're satisfied, save it as a .txt file and import it into the
> body of your Email or news reader program. This way you only have to
> change the name of the news group or Email address for each
> redistribution.
>
> Valuable tip: And very important for those not too familiar with
> Email: By all means use a word processor to ensure the article is
> composed well but, to ensure people that first read it via their news
> reader program see it clearly laid out, re-format it with a simple
> text
> editor such as "notepad", or "WordPad" if you're using "Windows 95".
> Providing the text is clearly visible and does not scroll into the
> right
> margin, it should be ok! Using this procedure essentially means the
> article will be correctly displayed, when viewed through other
> people's
> news reader. You can, of course, check this out for yourself before
> going online, by viewing it in your own news reader program.
>
> Next, begin by locating the news groups you intend posting to,
> Netscape
> 3.0 or a similar news reader is terrific for this, because you can
> highlight dozens of news groups all at once, enabling you to
> distribute
> your article to 1000's of locations in less than an hour or two.
> Highlight all news groups
> you want to mail your letter to (which as you know is done by holding
> down CTRL while left clicking.) This way you can select multiple news
> groups in one go, choose perhaps a dozen each time. You will then see
> all news groups you highlighted displayed in the news groups field.
>
> Next: Select/highlight your news groups then click "To News", place a
> sensible title in the "Subject" location, click on "Attachments",
> whereupon another box appears. Locate the file you are going to
> distribute, click on the file and then click "Open", again click OK;
> provided you followed these
> instructions, you should see your file grayed out in the "Attachments"
> box. Hit send . . . and that's it.
>
> Repeat the process over and over again by selecting further news
> groups
> in multiples of 10's, but try to be selective with the groups by
> posting
> to high volume locations, and don't choose a subject that appears too
> flashy. This will only put people off. This is an honest and
> legitimate way of making a
> reasonable amount of money, and making it on a regular basis. But
> only
> if your message is sincere and clearly understood by others will you
> succeed.
>
> PLEASE NOTE: This system is based on everyone being honest, but it's
> all
> too tempting not to bother mailing out envelopes with dollar bills
> inside. The success for all participating is dependent upon this
> taking
> place, and if carried out will mean a 500% increase in your article
> being redistributed! The system won't work to yours or indeed other
> people's advantage if you don't follow the procedure. You can
> however,
> if you wish to remain anonymous, use a pseudonym - but please ensure
> that
> your address is correct.
>
> AS A FINAL NOTE: Many business ideas for making money, no matter how
> well thought out and implemented, simply don't get off the ground.
> And,
> in most cases, is due to advertising costs, but the exposure obtained
> through the Internet is, quite honestly--Pretty Awesome. So, please
> study
> this article carefully, taking all the time you want, because the
> moment
> you begin participating you will be on track for some serious
> financial
> rewards.
>
> By the very nature of the way the system works you may not see the
> benefits the first week. BUT COMMENCING THE SECOND WEEK, YOUR INTAKE
> OF
> MAIL FROM AROUND THE WORLD WILL TRULY ASTONISH YOU! Please give this
> some serious thought, because this is one of the few money making
> methods that REALLY does work.
>
> ONE LAST THING: In order to keep this a legitimate system, you need
> to
> be sure you report this income to the IRS. It would be easy to
> overlook
> this, when there are no records of where the money came from, but as a
> business that takes in money from people, you must report this as
> income. Not doing so is a crime and would destroy the integrity of
> this
> system.

> GOOD LUCK!
