NOT AT A CASINO - RIGHT HERE ON THE NET!
Taking 5 minutes to read this text may be one of the best decisions you
ever made. My name is not important. What is important is what happened to
me.
On 9 June 1996, I saw an article in an Internet Newsgroup telling me
I could make $50 000 within 4 weeks for an investment of only $5. I
thought it was a huge joke! I spoke to my friends about it and they thought
likewise.
I thought that I had nothing to loose so sent $1 by snail
mail to each of 5 names and addresses specified in the article. I then
placed my own name and address in the article and posted it in 200
other newsgroups.
Two weeks later, I started receiving money in the mail! I could not
believe it! Hundreds of dollars turned into thousands, and in the 4
weeks, I received a total of $53,586. It came from all over the world.
If you follow the 3 simple steps below, there is no reason whatsoever why
the
same shouldn't happen to you. This is a perfectly legitimate investment
opportunity. You invest $5 and you receive a return on your investment.
So does the next investor.
NOT ILLEGAL, NOT A CHAIN LETTER - PERFECTLY LEGITIMATE!
OBVIOUSLY, IF YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED, THEN DON'T PARTICIPATE. BUT PLEASE
PRINT THIS ARTICLE AND GIVE IT TO SOMEONE WHO MAY WISH TO TAKE ADVANTAGE.
The procedure is very simple.
STEP 1. Write your name and address on 5 separate pieces of paper with
the words "PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING LIST". Fold a $1 note or money
order or bank draft in each of the pieces of paper and mail them to the
following five addresses:
1. TODD FOGGOA, 75 COURTNEY RD, DARTMOUTH, NS B3A4C3 CANADA
2. RASHAD.A, P.O.BOX 1311 STATION H MONTREAL,PQ H3G 2N3 CANADA
3. STEVE MYLONAS, P.O.BOX 7480, LANCASTER, PA., 17604-7480 USA
4. GREG ANGEVINE, SITE 36, BOX 11 RR2, CALGARY, AB T2P 2G5 CANADA
5. JONATHAN MASON, 25 HILLVIEW GARDENS, WOOLTON, LIVERPOOL L25 7XE
STEP 2. Now remove the 1st name on the list, move the other 4 names up
(5 becomes 4, 4 becomes 3 etc) and put your name and address as number 5
on the list. You can do this by re-typing this article or simply editing
and re-posting it in this or another newsgroup.
STEP 3. Post your amended article to at least 200 new groups (there are
17 000 of them).
You are now in the Mail Order Investment Business and you will start
receiving $1 returns by mail within a week or two. The more newsgroups
you post to, the bigger your return will be.
HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS
Of every 200 postings I made, I received an average of 5 replies, YES -
ONLY 5, each with a $1 bill enclosed. You make $5 for every 200
postings WITH YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 5.
Each person who sent you $1, now also makes let's say, only 200
additional postings WITH YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 4, i.e. 1000 postings.
On average therefore, 50 people will send you $1 with your name at
number 4. You make $50.
Your 50 new agents make 200 posting each WITH YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 3
or 10 000 postings - average return 500 at $1 each is $500. They
make 200 postings each WITH YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 2 = 100 000 postings
= 5 000 returns at $1 each = $5 000.
Finally, 5 000 people make 200 postings each WITH YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 1
and you get a return of $50 000 before you name drops off the list.
AND THAT'S IF EVERYONE DOWN THE LINE ONLY MAKES 200 POSTINGS! Total
income in one cycle = $55 500.
From time to time, when your name is no longer on the list, you take
the latest posting that is appearing in the newsgroups, SEND OUT
ANOTHER $5 TO THE NAMES THAT ARE ON THE LIST, PUT YOUR NAME IN
AT NUMBER 5 AND START POSTING AGAIN. Remember, 200 postings is only
a guideline. The more you post, the greater the return.
Let's review the reasons why you should do this
THE ONLY COST FACTORS ARE
5 STAMPS
5 ENVELOPES
5 $1 BILLS
Anyone can afford five dollars to put into such an effortless investment
with SPECTACULAR RETURNS.
Some people have said to me "What happens if the scheme is 'played
out' and no one sends me any money"? Big deal! So you lose $5 - but
what are the chances of that happening?
Do you realise how many Internet Users there are? Do you realise how
many times this scheme can be utilised over and over again - with
COMPLETELY NEW people participating?
Remember, read the instructions carefully and play FAIRLY...that's
the only way this will work. Get a printout so you can refer back
to this article easily.
Try to keep a list of everyone that sends you money and always keep
an eye on the newsgroup postings to make sure everyone is playing
fairly. You know where your name should be.
REMEMBER - HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY.
ENJOY!
