I am so sick and tired of seeing these "fastcash" scams. But
alas,
for a total investment of $6.60, even if 10 people respond, I
will
make a little better than 3 bucks. Give the stupid thing a try.

$$$$$ Use The Internet To Start Making Ca$h Today! $$$$$
Don't discard this. I almost did. But then I realized just how
powerful the net is as a communication tool. It is for this
reason that
this REALLY works! Millions of people can find out how to do
this in one
night. The more people try this the faster it works. You can
make
hundreds of dollars in one week, easy. It's the beauty of the
net.

INSTRUCTIONS

Follow these instructions EXACTLY, and in 20 to 60 days you will
have received over 5,000.00 dollars IN CASH.

[1] Immediately mail $1.00 to the first 5 names listed below,
starting at number 1 through number 5. SEND CASH ONLY. (Total
investment: $5.00 + postage) >ENCLOSE A LETTER WITH A NOTE
SAYING:
"Please add my name to your mailing list". Include your name
and mailing address. This is a legitimate service that you are
requesting and you are paying $1.00 for this service.

[2] Remove the name that appears as number 1 on the list. Move
the other 9 names up one position (Number 2 becomes number 1,
number 3 becomes number 2, and so on). Place your name,
address,
and zip code in the number 10 position. PLACE YOUR NAME IN THE
NUMBER 10 POSITION ONLY! DO NOT PLACE IT AHEAD OF ANY OTHER
NAME ON THE LIST. Think about it- the LONGER it takes your name
to get to number 1, the MORE cash you'll receive!

[3] With your name in the number 10 position, upload this
ENTIRE
file to at least 15 (Fifteen) different bulletin boards (local
or
out-of-state). You may post it to the BBS's message base or to
the file section. Name it FASTCASH.TXT, and use the file
description comments to draw attention to this file and its
great potential for all of us.

[4] Within 60 days you will receive over $50,000.00 in CASH.
Keep a copy of this file for yourself so that you can use it
again and again whenever you need money. As soon as you mail
out
these letters you are automatically in the mail order business.
People will be sending YOU $1.00 to be placed on your mailing
list. This list can then be rented to a broker that can be
found
in your local yellow pages listings for additional income on a
regular basis.

The list will become more valuable as it grows in size.
This is a service. ** IT IS PERFECTLY LEGAL **
If you have any doubts as to the legality of this service,
please
refer to Title 18,h sections 1302 and 1341 of the Postal Lottery
Laws.
NOTE: Make sure that you retain EVERY name and address sent to
you, either on computer or hard copy, but do not discard the
names and notes that people send to you. This is PROOF that you
are truly providing a service, and should the I.R.S. or some
other government agency question you, you can provide them with
this proof!
Remember, as each post is downloaded and the
instructions
carefully followed, five members will be reimbursed for their
participation as List Developer with $1.00 each. Your name will
move up the list geometrically so that when your name reaches
the
number 5 position you will be receiving thousands of dollars in
cash!
REMEMBER - THIS PROGRAM FAILS ONLY IF YOU ARE NOT HONEST
-PLEASE!! PLEASE BE HONORABLE...IT DOES WORK! THANK YOU.

Yeah, he hit REC.GARDENS with four copies. Same note, same names,
and addresses.

I am forwarding copies to the Post Office Fraud Investigation
Department. I have talked with a postal investigator who seems
to have a different view of the legality of his scam than he does.

Sincerely
Bryce
