(we

>  Money has started arriving in the mail. It's a bit scary.

>  Let me tell you how this works and most important, why it works..........

>   Follow the simple directions and watch the money come in!! It's easy.
>  It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus postage) !!!

> You can use any currency. I have dollars (US and Australian) plus many
more.
> You can always change it.

of
> the honesty
> and integrity of the participants. Please continue its success by
carefully

> You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large
corporations
> are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made from
> the
>  mailing lists is secondary to income which is made from people like you
> and me asking to be included in that list. Here are the four easy steps to
> success.

>  STEP ONE:

>  Get six separate pieces of paper and write the following on
>  each piece of paper. Try it and you will be glad you did!

> nerun...@tesco.net  "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST."
>  Now get 6 U.S. $1.00 bills and place ONE inside of EACH of the six pieces
> of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope (to prevent
> thievery). Next, place one paper in each of the six envelopes and seal
them.
> You now should have six 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.

>  THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL!!!!!

>  You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it!! Like
>  most of us I was a little skeptical and little worried about the legal
> aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office
> (1-800-238-5355)
> and they confirmed that it is indeed legal!!

>  Mail the six envelopes to the following addresses:

>  Matthew Dutton
>  46 Hayworth St
>  Point Vernon, Hervey Bay
>  QLD, 4390
>  Australia

> R. Visser
> P.O. Box 274
> Nobby Beach
> QLD, 4218
> Australia

> S. Phillips
> 77 Manly Drive
> Robina, QLD 4226
> Australia

> Chris Pittman
> 7651 Abigail Glen Dr.
> Charlotte, NC 28212
> USA

>  Bruce Gillikin
>  1806-A  Middlesound Rd.
>  Wilmington, NC 28411
>  USA

> Chris Uren

> 99 Gledhow Park Grove

> Leeds LS7 4JW

> United Kingdom

>  STEP TWO:Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the
> other names up (six becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, and etc.) and add YOUR NAME as
> number 6 on the list.

>  STEP THREE:
>  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 news
> groups. :
>  (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!! This is perfectly
> legal!! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the
> Postal Lottery laws. Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and whenever
> you need money, you can use it again, and again. PLEASE REMEMBER that this
> program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the
> participants and by their carefully adhering to directions. Look at it
this
> way. If you were of integrity, the program will continue and the money
that
> so many others have received will come your way.

>  NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you,> either
on
> a computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you.
>  This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service.  (Also, it might be
> a good idea to wrap the $1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail
> theft). So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully
> followed, all members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List
> Developer  with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list
> geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 position you will be
> receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What an opportunity for only
$6.00
> ( $1.00 for each of the first six people listed above) Send it now, add
your
> own name to the list and you're in business!!!
