>: Dear Friend:
>: : With a couple of minutes of your time I'm going to show you
>: : how you can turn $6 and 6 stamps into thousands of dollars. Don't
>: : get skeptical yet, just read the letter and then decide if you want
>: : to invest a lousy $6!!
>: :
>: : HOW TO TURN SIX DOLLARS INTO SIX THOUSAND:
>: : : READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE! IT DOES WORK!
>: : : I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little
>: : : while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now,
>: : : and came across an article similar to this that said you could make
>: : : thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of
>: : : $6.00! So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam", but
>: : : like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said
>: : : that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the
>: : : article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of
>: : : the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups.
>: : : (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it
>: : : over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I
>: : : figured: "what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00,
>: : : right?" Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!?...
>: : : within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I
>: : : figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my
>: : : first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had
>: : : made a total of over $1,000.00! In the third week I had over
>: : : $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I
>: : : have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in
>: : : rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more
>: : : than that on the lottery!! 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 as you need it.
>: : : I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you
>: : : will start making more money than you thought possible by doing
>: : : something so easy!
>: : : Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (print it out or
>: : : download it.) 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)
>: : : IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not
>: : : illegal; and it is 99% no risk - it really works!
>: : : If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive
>: : : extraordinary dividends.
>: : : PLEASE NOTE:
>: : : Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be
>: : : yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of
>: : : the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its
>: : : success by carefully adhering to the instructions.
>: : : You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business
>: : : your product is not solid and tangible, it's a service. 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 the income which is made from
>: : : people like you and me asking to be included in that list.
>: : : Here are the 4 easy steps to success:
>: : : STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on
>: : : each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now
>: : : get 6 US $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
>: : : thievery). Next, 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, 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 a little worried
>: : : about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S.
>: : : Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed
>: : : legal. Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:
>: :
>: : : #1) Tim Wahlstrom
>: : 2003-223 Bayview Hts. Dr.
>: : San Diego, CA 92105
>: : : #2) Peggy Williamson
>: : 330 E. 32nd St.
>: : Ada, Ok 74820
>: : : #3 Frank Stevens
>: : P.O. Box 264
>: : Tupelo, Ok 74572
>: : : #4) Jason Williamson
>: : 202 Park Dr.
>: : Ada, Ok 7482
>: : : #5) Dennis E. Ribble
>: : RR3 BOX 32-1B
>: : Benton, PA 17814
>: : : #6) Dean Johnson
>: : 26445 N. 44th Way
>: : Phoenix, AZ 85050
>:
>: : : 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.
>: : : STEP 3: 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 newsgroups. (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! You won't get very much unless you post like crazy. :)
>: : : 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 the directions. Look at it this way. If you are 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,
>: : : six 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!
>: : : ---DIRECTIONS ----- FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS------------
>: : : Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own
>: : : posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and
>: : : drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy'
>: : : from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the
>: : : computer's memory.
>: : : Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top
>: : : of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will
>: : : paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name
>: : : to the list. Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If
>: : : you want to do your postings in different settings, you'll always
>: : : have this file to go back to.
>: : : Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for
>: : : various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites,
>: : : discussions.)
>: : : Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new
>: : : message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste
>: : : from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that
>: : : everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a
>: : : particular group, click the post message button. You're done with
>: : : your first one! Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is
>: : : jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of
>: : : it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! **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 days! You may eventually want to
>: : : rent a P.O. Box due to the large amount of mail you will 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.**
>: :
>: : : 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 $625.00! 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 3,125 persons 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 an original
>: : : investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! 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 really
>: : : work.

This is the principle of chain letters. In this case participants get money
hopefully.
