If you need money . . .this is the LEGAL way. . .PLEASE read on. . . .

I hesitated about trying this and ended up in financial collapse. Now
that I have tried it, I receive envelopes by mail with dollar bills in
them. How is this possible? take a minute and read.
This is not a get rich quick scheme; it is your own home business
developing mailing lists. It is legal. Like most people I am skeptical
of things of this nature; but, after much thought, I have tried it out.
Honestly, it tales a lot of work on your part to make it work. In the
end
you will be satisfied.

Please read through the attached comments and excerpts. They are quite
thorough on how this will work for you. There is absolutely nothing to
lose on this deal!!!!!!!!!!!

(Excerpt from Bob Novak who started this new version)

NEW VERSION! ! ! ! 1997 (Legal Questions Addressed!)

"In late October of 1996, I saw an article in an Internet newsgroup
telling me that I could make $50,000 within a month of an investment of
only $5. I thought, "OH YAH!! I'VE GOT A BRIDGE I'LL SELL YOU TOO!!!"
It
sounded like all the rest of the "get rich quick" schemes and scams I've
seen over the past 40 years or so.

I spoke to my attorney, a few friends, and family about it and they
all agreed it was some kind of scam. I can't stand scams, because
usually
someone gets burned, and I didn't want it to be me. After rejecting the
idea at first it kind of played on my mind and I thought, "what if it
really worked?" I realized all I had to lose was $5.00, I usually blow
that much on the lottery every week anyway, so I figured what the heck,
and decided to give it a shot.

Within two weeks I began receiving money in the mail! Soon,
hundreds,
and then thousands of dollars began to roll in. Within 4 weeks, I had
received a total of $46,812.00 ! It came from everywhere in the world.
"Lately, I've doubled my efforts and the money is rolling in even
faster.
I would tell you how much but then the IRS would know also, let's just
say
it's a VERY comfortable living. Now I am really going to work! If I
can
make as much as I have, and still am, on a lousy $5.00 investment, why
not
double it and make the "Big Bucks" twice as fast? Anybody can afford to
gamble $5.00 on a chance to make $1000,000.00 or more in a month,
especially when the business has already proven itself."

If you follow the three steps below, there is no reason why the
same shouldn't happen to you! This is a legitimate investment
opportunity. You invest $10, and you receive a return on your
investment.
So does the next investor. THIS IS NOT ILLEGAL, THIS IS NOT A CHAIN
LETTER THIS IS PERFECTLY LEGITIMATE. (See additional legal details
below.)

THE PROCEDURE ISI SIMPLE:

1) Invest your $5.00 by writing your name and address on five separate
pieces of paper along with the words: "PLEASE ASS ME TO YOUR MAILING
LIST:
$1 USD PROCESSING FEE IS ENCLOSED." (in this way, you're not just
sending ONE dollar to someone; you're paying for a legitimate service.)
Fold $1 U.S. Treasury bill, money order, or bank note inside each piece
of
paper, and mail them by standard U.S. Mail to the following five
addresses:

#1. TamDan H.
1021 Lake Palms Dr.
Largo, Florida 33771

#2. Walter Joudrey
PO Box 263 Kempville
Yarmouth Co., N.S., Canada
BOW 1YO

#3. Scott Cameron
6232 Bellota Dr. #B
Las Vagas, Nevada 89108

#4. PDS
6519 Evergreen St
Portage, MI 49024

#5. John James
2101 Shorewood Ln.
Edmond, OK 73003

2) Now remove the top name from the list, and move the other four
names up. In other words, #5 becomes #4 and so on. Put your name as
the
fifth one on the list. You can do this by simply retyping the article
or
reposting it to other newsgroups with the edited addresses.

3) Post the article to at least 200 newsgroups. There are 22,000, so
it
shouldn't be hard to find that many. Remember, there are no "Free
Lunches" in this world so the harder you work the more money you will
make.

You are now in the mail order investment business, and should
start seeing returns within a week or two. Of course, the more
newsgroups
you post to ,k the greater your return will be. If you wish to remain
anonymous, you may use a pseudonym, but ,make sure your address is
correct.

LEGAL???

People have asked me if this is really legal. It is! You are
using the Internet of advertise your business. What is that business?
You are assembling a mailing list of people who are interested in home
based computer and online businesses and methods of generating income at
home.
Remember - people send you a small fee to be added to your list.
It is legal. What will you do with your list of thousands of names?
That's up to you.

MORE LEGALESE:

This opportunity has been incorrectly described as a 'pyramid
scheme' by doubters and those unwilling to risk $10 for the chance as a
huge payoff. This is not a pyramid, and not even as close to one as
many
'legitimized' multi-level marketing systems (Amway, NSA, Mary Kay, ect.,
ect.)
The difference here is that the names above you do not remain on the
list
forever – in five rounds they are removed. There is no residual income
that continues forever with no further effort on your part. You can
always add your name to the bottom of the next list you see, but you
start
from the bottom again.

Build your mailing list, keep good accounts, declare the income,
and pay your taxes. By doing this you prove your business intentions,
and
can also take advantage of business write-offs on your tax return. You
need your computer, and Internet account, and a spreadsheet, database or
mailing list software to conduct your business. You will also need to
drive to the bank, the post office, the office supply store—all of these
cost can be used to offset your income taxes.

There really is no risk – eat cheaper lunches for a week and
you've covered the $5. The biggest risk is to not even try.

There's my pitch; Now back to BOB NOVAK:

NOW HERE IS WHY THE SYSTEM WORKS:

The Internet is growing at a tremendous rate - it doubles in
size
every 4 months. Think about it. You see those "Make Money Fast" posts
more and more. All that growth means profits for everyone who
participates. There are no losers.

Of every 200 posts I made, I received 5 responses. That
probably
doesn't seem like much. You make $5 for every 200 posts with your name
at
#5. Each person who sent you $1 now also makes 200 additional postings
with your name at #4. i.e..1000 postings. On average therefore, 50
people
will send you $1 with your name at #4. $50.00.

Your 50 new agents make 200 postings each with your name at #3
or
10,000 postings. Average return 500 people=$500.00. They make 200
postings each with your name at #2=100,000 postings=5000 returns at $1
each=$5,000.

From time to time, when you see your name no longer on the list,
you take the latest posting that appears in the newsgroups, and send out
another $5, and put your name at #5, and start posting again. Remember,
200 postings is only a guideline. The more you post, the greater the
return.

Lets review why you should do this. THE ONLY COST IS $5, AND 5
STAMPS, AND 5 ENVELOPES. Anyone can afford $5 for such an effortless
investment with such SPECTACULAR RETURNS.

Some people have said to me , "what happens if the scheme is
played out and no one sends me any money?" Big Deal, so you lose $5.00
but what are the chances of that happening? SINCE THIS IS A BRAND NEW
PROGRAM AS OF JANUARY 1, 1997, YOU'RE IN ON THE GROUND FLOOR!

There are millions of Internet users, and millions of new net
surfers each month. Remember- read the instructions carefully, and play
fairly. THAT'S the only way this will work. Get a printout so you can
refer back to this article easily.

Keep a list of everyone that sends you money, keep good books,
pay
your taxes, and always keep an eye on the postings to make sure everyone
is playing fairly. You know where your name should be.

If your really not sure or still think this can't be for real,
then don't do it. But please print this article and pass it along to
someone you know who really needs the bucks, and see what happens.

REMEMBER- HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY. WHAT ARE 10 DOLLARS TO
YOU?? YOU DON'T NEED TO CHETE THIS IDEA TO MAKE MONEY!!!(We will monitor
the program and if we find you have cheated by not sending your money to
your five recipients, we will just dump you out of the system). This is
the easiest way that you can make a buck. Think how excited you'll be
to
open up your mailbox day after day! Will it be $50? Or $5,000? Start
making your plans, because it can happen to you.

DON'T PASS UP THIS ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY!!!
