THIS WORKS IF YOU TRY IT!!

"Parents of 15-year-old find $71,000 cash hidden in his closet."
Does this headline look familiar? Of course it does. You most likely have
just seen this story recently featured on a major nightly news program
(USA).
His mother was cleaning and putting laundry away when she came across a
large brown paper bag that was suspiciously buried beneath some clothes and
a skateboard in the back of her 15-year-old son's closet.
Nothing could have prepared her for the shock she got when she opened the
bag and
found it was full of cash. Five dollar bills, twenties, fifties and hundreds
all neatly rubber-banded in labeled piles.
"My first thought was that he had robbed a bank", says the 41-year-old
woman, "There was over $71,000 dollars in that bag- that's more than my
husband earns in a year".
The woman immediately called her husband at the car-dealership where he
worked to tell him what she'd discovered. He came home right away and they
drove together to the boy's school and picked him up.
Little did they suspect that where the money came from was more shocking
than actually finding it in the closet.
As it turns out, the boy had been sending out via E-mail on the Internet a
type of 'chain-letter' to E-mail addresses that he obtained off of the
Internet. Everyday after school for the past 2 months, he had been doing
this right on his computer in his bedroom.
"I just got the E-mail one day and I figured what the heck, I put my name on
it like the instructions said and I started sending it out", says the clever
15-year-old.
The E-mail letter listed 3 addresses and contained instructions to send one
$5 dollar bill to the person at the top of the list, then delete that
address and move the other 2 addresses up, and finally to add your name to
the bottom of the list.
The letter goes on to state that you would receive several thousand dollars
in five dollar bills within 2 weeks if you sent out the letter with your
name at the bottom of the 3-address list "I get junk E-mail all the time,
and I really didn't think it was gonna work", the boy continues.
Within the first few days of sending out the E-mail, the Post Office Box
that his parents had gotten him for his video-game magazine subscriptions
began to fill up with not magazines, but envelopes containing $5 dollar
bills.
"About a week later I rode [my bike] down to the post office and my box had
1 magazine and about 300 envelopes stuffed in it. There was also a yellow
slip that said I had to go up to the [post office] counter- I thought I was
in trouble or something (laughs)".
He goes on, "I went up to the counter and they had a whole box of more mail
for me. I had to ride back home and empty out my backpack 'cause I couldn't
carry it all".
Over the next few weeks, the boy continued sending out the E-mail. "The
money just kept coming in and I just kept sorting it and stashing it in the
closet, I barely had time for my homework".
He had also been riding his bike to several of the area's banks and
exchanging the $5 bills for twenties, fifties and hundreds. "I didn't want
the banks to get suspicious
so I kept riding to different banks with like five thousand at a time in my
backpack. I would usually tell the lady at the bank counter that my dad had
sent me in [to exchange the money] and he was outside waiting for me. One
time the lady gave me a really strange look and told me that she wouldn't be
able to do it for me and my dad would have to come in and do it, but I just
rode to the next bank down the street (laughs)."
Surprisingly, the boy didn't have any reason to be afraid. The reporting
news team examined and investigated the so-called 'chain-letter' the boy was
sending out and found that it wasn't a chain-letter at all. In fact, it was
completely legal according to US Postal and Lottery Laws, Title 18, Section
1302 and 1341, or Title 18, Section 3005 in the US code, also in the code of
federal regulations, Volume 16, Sections 255 and 436, which state a product
or service must be exchanged for money received.
Every five dollar bill that he received contained a little note that read,
"Please add
me to your mailing list". This simple note made the letter legal because he
was exchanging a service (adding the purchasers name to his mailing list)
for a five dollar fee.
Here is the letter that the 15-year-old was sending out by E-mail, you can
do the exact same thing he was doing, simply by following the instructions
in this letter.

Here are instructions on how to make $10,000 US cash in the next 2 weeks:
There are 3 addresses listed below.
Send the person at the top of the list a $5 bill wrapped in 2 pieces of
paper (to securely hide it), along with a note that says: "Please add me to
your mailing list".
Then delete that name, move the other 2 up and put your name at the bottom.
Now start sending this ENTIRE e-mail back out to people. When 20 people
receive it, those 20 people will move your name up to the middle position
and they will each send out 20. That totals 400 people that will receive
this letter with your name in the middle.
Then, those 400 people will move your name up to the top and they will each
send out 20 E-mails. That totals 8,000 people that will receive this E-mail
with your name at the top and they will each send you a $5 bill.
8,000 people each sending you a $5 bill = $40,000 cash. That's if everyone
responds to this E-mail, but not everyone will, so you can expect more
realistically to receive about $10,000 cash $5 bills in your mailbox.
This will work for anyone, anywhere in the world in any country, but send
only a US CASH $5 bill.
The more E-mails you send out, the more cash you will receive. If each
person sends out 100 E-mails, there will be 1,000,000 people that receive
this letter when your name reaches the top. If only 1% of those people
respond, you will still get $50,000 cash.
Here is the list:
