> pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of paper: "PLEASE
> PUT ME
> ON YOUR MAILING LIST" and then write your name and address below that. Now
> get
> 6 UK £1 coins and tape ONE to EACH of the 6 pieces of paper and fold the
> piece
> of paper in half so the coin will not break through the envelope. Next,
> place
> one of the pieces of paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. (Make
> sure
> you put a stamp on each envelope - a 2nd class stamp will be fine if you
> want
> to keep your costs even lower) You should now have 6 sealed envelopes,
> each
> with a piece of paper inside saying "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST",
> your
> name and address, and a £1 coin. What you are doing is creating a service.
> THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you
> are
> paying for it. (very little!) Like most of us I was a little sceptical and
> a
> little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with
> the
> UK Post Office and they confirmed that it is indeed legal. If you have any
> worries, refer to Title18 Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws. Now
> send
> your 6 envelopes to the addresses below:
>
> No1) E. Fisher, 20 Woodfield park, Walton, wakefield, WF2 6PL
> No2) J. Hitchmough, 25 Dawlish Road, Wallasey, Wirral CH44 3DP.
> No3) S Fry, 4 Mornington Road, Whitehill, Hampshire, GU35 9EW
> No4) L. Bannon, 12 Wingate Road, Totton, Southampton, SO40 3FU.
> No5) K Phillips, 7 Wellington Rd, Penybryn, Wrexham, LL13 7PE
> No6) D Majekodunmi, 103 New Caledonian Wharf, 6 Odessa Street, London,
> SE16 7TW
> *IMPORTANT: You MUST do this step or these people will not be able to add
> your
> name to their mailing lists as spaces become available on them and you
> will
> lose out on a lot of money - and we don't want that! Also, when you do
> Step
> No3, when people start sending money in, the above 6 will KNOW that you
> didn't
> adhere to the rules as they never got their £1 from you and will take you

> move the others up 1. (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc.) And add YOUR name

> address at number 6 on the list. STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but
