        My Story:
-------------------------------
Help me, and I will help you..?
-------------------------------

 If you ask me, most people do that. Especially in a buisness.
If you will allow me to tell you a story about myself.
 My name is Jim, But my (net) friends call me Wad BIOS. I, like
all of you, have once ran into a little thing known as a 'chain-letter'
 or 'pyramid scam'. The first time i took a look at one of these, i instantly
(as i was young at the time) has no doubt it would work. My parents told
 me otherwise. At first, they said things that only gullible people (and
 children) would believe. Soon, though, one of these damn pyramid things got
me thinking real hard. My parents' logic on why these things were a scam
 quickly became more and more complex, and they grew weary of trying to explain
 and let me think it all out myself. So, i called up two of my close friends
 and we decided to try seeing why people thought the same two questions, and, to
 find out what triggers them and see if we cant find a better way to do this.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Those questions are:

   1:) Its gotta be illegal. even if it isnt, its immoral.

   2:) Its a scam! Where in the world does that money go? To someone who
         is nothing like what it says on the screen!

 At 12:00 noon, as i was eating lunch, the answers (finally) came
to me on how to answer these gnawing questions.

 Here they are:

    1:) I knew it wouldnt be illegal if you were offering a service
         and used The money (explained later) as a processing fee...
 the service i offer, and you also will, if you read on, is to
 Give an oppertunity to offer these services to others via this
 special template letter you read now to others. As for immoral, 
 is it just untrust with giving the fruit of your labor to another
  a natrual feeling? Dont worry, read on.

    2:) This question brings on the fact that it makes one more comfortable
 if you just tell a little about yourself, which is what the story is
 for. Dont worry, just tell the total truth. Some have never tried this
 before and are a little weary to do so. Calm them.  
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  We have never tried this before, so we are relying on your trust
to see if these things really do work. It might answer to the small town of
 Napoleon once and for all if these things are scams. Heh, actually, the only
reason i myself did this is to fund things so i can continue making my games
(http://welcome.to/8.3.Technologies) for free. I have only 16 MB HD space left !
But anyhow, so I have tried now to get rid of all doubts, mabye you would like 
to get down to buessness. Okay.
 

   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 when you need it. The process is very simple and
consists of FOUR easy steps.

  ============
   HOW IT WORKS
   ============
   Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:
   STEP 1:
   ------
   Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write or print the following on each
   piece of paper:

       Permission requested to sell your services via 'My story' template.
      $1 U.S. DOLLAR PROCESSING FEE ENCLOSED.

   (THIS IS KEY AS THIS IS WHAT MAKES IT LEGAL SINCE YOU ARE PAYING FOR
    AND LATER OFFERING A SERVICE).
   Now get 6 $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
theft/robbery. Then, 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 and a U.S. $1.00 bill.

   #1 M Bond
        15704 Pine Rd,
        Oak Forest, IL 60452,
        USA

   #2 S. DeLeo
        1317 Statesman Rd,
        Norristown, PA 19403,
        USA

   #3 J. Neerdaels
  W7478 Point Rd.
  Phillips, WI 54555,
  USA

   #4 E. Michaelis
        M-480 Co. Rd. 19,
        Napoleon, OH 43545,
        USA

   #5 Brent Nelson
        1146 Kenilworth Ave.,
        Napoleon, OH 43545,
        USA


   #6 J. Biggs II
        304 W. Main St., 
        Napoleon, OH 43545,
        USA

   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.  (If you want to remain anonymous, put a nickname,
but the address MUST be correct. It, of course, MUST contain your
country, state/district/area, zip code, etc!!! You wouldn't want your
money to fly away, would you?!?!).

   STEP 3: Erase My story (but not the reasons why stuff) and add your own.
Change the quote at the top, but not the 'reasons' in between the dotted lines.

   STEP 4: Now post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups.
   Remember, 200 postings is just a guideline. The more you post, the
more money you make!
   Don't know HOW to post in the news groups? Well do exactly the
following:


-----------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS FAST WITH YOUR WEB BROWSER:
                   The fastest way to post a newsletter:
  Highlight and COPY(Ctrl-C) the text of this posted message and
   PASTE(Ctrl-V) it into a plain text editor(as Wordpad) and save it.
   After you have made the necessary changes that are stated above,
   simply COPY(Ctrl-C) and PASTE(Ctrl-V) the text into the message
   composition window, after selecting a newsgroup, and post it! (Or
   you can attach the file, without writing anything to the message
window.)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
           If you have Netscape Navigator 3.0 do the following:
   1. Click on any newsgroup like normal, then click on 'TO NEWS'. This
   will bring up a box to type a message in.
   2. Leave the newsgroup box like it is, change the subject box to
   something flashy, something to catch the eye, as "$$$ NEED CASH $$$?!!
    READ HERE!$!$!$" or "$$$!!!MAKE FAST CASH, YOU CAN'T LOSE!!!$$$". Or
   you can use my subject title.
   3. Now click on 'ATTACHMENTS'. Then click on 'ATTACH FILE'. Find your
   file on your Hard Disk(the one you saved from the text editor). Once
you find it, click on it and then click 'OPEN' and 'OK'. You should now
see your file name in the attachments box.
4. Now click on 'SEND'/'POST'. You see? Now you just have 199 to
go!!!(Don't worry, it's easy and quick once you get used to it.)
   NOTE: All the versions of Netscape Navigator's are similar to each
other, so you'll have no problem doing this if you don't have Netscape
  Navigator 3.0.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
(FOR A QUICK TIP)!
Netscape Navigator 3.x and above)
   You can post this message to many newsgroups at a time, by simply
selecting a newsgroup near the top of the screen, hold down the SHIFT,
and then select a newsgroup near the bottom of the screen. All of the
newsgroups in/between will be selected. After that, you follow/do the
basic steps, stated below in this letter, except step #1. You can go to
the page stated below in this letter and click on a newsgroup to open up
the newsgroups window. Once you've done this, in the same
window go to 'OPTIONS', and then mark 'SHOW ALL NEWSGROUPS' and 'SHOW
ALL MESSAGES'. Now you can see all the newsgroups and you can apply
easier the above tip.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
           If you have MS Internet Explorer do the following:
   1. Go to the newsgroups and press 'POST AN ARTICLE'. To the new window
   type your headline in the subject area and then click in the large
window below. There either PASTE your letter(which it's been copied from
the text editor), or attach the file which contains it.
   2. Then click on 'SEND' or 'OK'.
   NOTE: All versions of MS Internet Explorer are similar to each other,
so you won't have any problem doing this.

GENERAL NOTES ON POSTING: A nice page where you'll find all the
newsgroups if you want help is http://www.liszt.com/ (When you go to the
home page, click on the link 'Newsgroup Directory'). But I don't think
you'll have any problem posting because it's very easy once you've found
the newsgroups. All these web browsers are similar. It doesn't matter
which one you have. (But it makes it very easy if you have Netscape
Navigator 3.0 or later. You may download it from the Internet if you
don't have it.) You just have to remember the basic steps, stated below.
   BASIC STEPS FOR POSTING:
   1. Find a newsgroup and you click on it.
   2. You click on 'POST A NEW ARTICLE' or 'TO NEWS' or anything else
similar to these.
3. You type your flashy headline in the subject box.
4. Now, either you attach the file containing your amended letter, or
you PASTE the letter.(You have to COPY it from the text editor, of
course, from before.)
5. Finally, you click on 'SEND' or 'POST' or 'OK', whatever is there.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
   **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
day's! 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:
   =================
   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
3,125persons 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!
And as I said 5 responses is actually VERY LOW! Average is probable 20
to 30!
So lets put those figures at just 15 responses per person. Here is what
you will make:
   at #6 $15.00
   at #5 $225.00
   at #4 $3,375.00
   at #3 $50,625.00
   at #2 $759,375.00
   at #1 $11,390,625.00
   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, "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 work. You just have to
be honest.
   ** 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. Someone I talked
to knew someone who did that and he only made about $150.00, and that's
after seven or eight weeks! Then he sent the 6 $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!!!  You also
may want  to buy mailing and e-mail lists for future dollars.
   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 BEST POLICY. You don't need to cheat the basic
idea 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.
   Please remember to declare your extra income. Thanks once again...
   =====================================================================
   LEGAL ? ? ? (Comments from Bob Novak who started this new version.)
   "People have asked me if this is really legal. Well, it is! You are
using the Internet to advertise your business. What is that business?
You are assembling a mailing list of people who are interested in home
based computer and online business and methods of generating income at
home.  Remember, people send you a small fee to be added to your mailing
list.It is legal. what will you do with your list of thousands of names?
That's up to you."
   So, build your mailing list, keep good accounts, declare the income
   and pay your taxes. By doing this you prove your business intentions.
   Keep an eye on the newsgroups and when the cash has stopped coming
(that means your name is no longer on the list), you just take the
latest posting at the newsgroups, send another $6.00 to the names stated
on the list, make your corrections (put your name at #6) and start
posting again.
   ====================================================================

NOTES:
  *1. In some countries, the export of the country's exchange is
illegal. But you can get the license to do this from the post office,
explaining the above statements (that you have an online business,
   etc.  You may have to pay an extra tax, but that's OK, the amount of
the incoming money is HUGE! And as I said, a few countries have that
restriction.
   *2. You may want to buy mailing and e-mail lists for future dollars.
(Or Database or Spreadsheet software.)
   *3. If you're really not sure or still think this can't be for real,
please print a copy of this article and pass it along to someone who
really needs the money, and see what happens.
   *4. You will start getting responses within 1-2 weeks, it depends.
