The reason for requesting the above information is simple.
Most users of mailing lists need to be able to selectivly
target a particular audience. If you are selling, say knitting
materials, it would be a waste of your money to mail a catalog
to someone who has no interest in knitting. So, you would
request that the list supplier select the names by certain
catagories. The list supplier will charge you a bit more, but
your return for invested dollars will be much higher.
Even though some of these are fairly personal in nature, they
are all valid selection criteria for a mailing list.
The Catagories information above is very important. You
should fill it out with a list of catagories of things that
you are interested in. The hobbies and occupation fields
are just as important. Perhaps you like to hunt. If I sent
you an offer to join an anti-hunting group, not only would
you be upset, but I would have wasted my time and money.

To Whom It May Concern:
About six months ago I received the enclosed post in
letter form. I ignored it. I received about five more of
the same letter withn the next two weeks. I ignored them
also. Of course, I was tempted to follow through and
dreamed of making thousands, but I was convinced it was just
another gimmick and could not possibly work. I was wrong!
About three weeks later I saw this same letter posted on a
local bulletion board in Montreal. I liked the idea of
giving it a try with my computer. I didn't expect much
because I figured, if other people were as skeptical as I,
they wouldn't be too quick to part with Five dollars. But,
I buy lottery tickets weekly in my province and have nothing
to show for it but ticket stubs. This week I decided to
look at this as my weekly lottery purchase. I addressed the
envelopes and mailed out one dollar in each as directed.
Two weeks went by and I didn't recieve anything in the mail.
The fourth week rolled around and I couldn't believe what
happened! I can't say I received $50,000, but it was
definitely well over $35,000! For the first time in ten
years, I got out of debt. It was great. Of course, it
didn't take me long to go through my earnings so I am using
this excellent money opportunity once again. Follow the
instructions and get ready to enjoy.
Please send a copy of this letter along with the
enclosed letter so together we can convince people who are
skeptical that it really works!
Good Luck,

Another letter:
I tried a similar program in which the cost was $5.00 per
response. In that one the return was about 3%. Since I did
not have a modem I sent out letters regular mail. I created
mailing labels with Appleworks and printed the labels on
pressure sensitive tape. The first mailing that I used the
$1.00 dollar per reponse approach I started to get return
mail in just over one week! I sent out 200 letters instead
of 100 that is required if you use the mail instead of the
bulletion boards. Additionally, I included as many friends,
relatives, classmates, that I could think of in order to
encourage their participation if they happened to recognize
my name, so my percnetage of gain was higher. I am trying
again with 500 letters to see if I surpass the $141,000 of
the last time. You just won't beleive it until you try.

Additional Notes:
This system works equally well if mailed out manually.
Mind you it takes more effort to hand address the envelopes
and the cost goes up proportionately to cover the postage
and envelopes. You must also photo copy the instructions,
cross out the name in number one position, write in your
name in the number ten slot and change the rest of the
numbers accordinly. (It might be neater to use white out or
paste over the names.) In order to achieve the same results
you must send out the $1.00 dollar to the first five names
and then send out another 100 letters with copies of the
program enclosed. It has been suggested not to put a return
address on the outside of the envelope in order to encourage
the recipient to open it. The return will approxiamate that
then received from the posts listed on the bulletin boards.
Another letter:
I was working the grave yard night shift at the
hospital administration office and was bored to tears. I
saw this letter laying on my desk from the previous shift.
I had nothing better to do so I figured, Why not? I ran off
over 100 copies on the office copier. I found some blank
envelopes in a desk drawer and began to hand write the
addresses from the telephone book. I borrowed the postage
meter and stamped the envelopes. Carefully I stuffed the
envelopes not forgetting to put in the five one dollar bills
to the first five names. I put the entire lot in the mail
bag. Total time from start to finish was three and one half
hours which included several short stops to answer the
telephone and fill out an admission slip. Total cost to me
$5.00 dollars.
Fourty two days later I gave notice to my employer and
I will never have to work the night shift again.

PS. I made a nice size donation to the hospital building
fund. I figured it was the least I could do for the use of
the postage and office supplies.
