Fax: +46-31-470588 * **************************************************************** Don't trust me, trust yourself, just read on This is simple, safe, and it really works! For $6 (U.S), 6 stamps, and about an hour of your time, you could earn a year's salary in a month. Sounds to good to be true, be just imagine. What if it works, WHAT IF IT REALLY WORKS? A little while back, I was browsing these 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. Like most of us, I kept reading. Anyway, it said that if you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and addresses stated in the article, you could make thousands in a very short period of time. You then place your own name and address at the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article to at least 200 newsgroups. (There are about 40,000 of them.) or e-mail them to friends, or e-mailing lists... No catch, that was it. Even though the investment was a measly $6, I had three questions that needed to be answered before I could get involved in this sort of thing. 1. IS THIS REALLY LEGAL? I called a lawyer first. The lawyer was a little skeptical that I would actually make any money but he said it WAS LEGAL if I wanted to try it. I told him it sounded a lot like a chain letter but the details of the system (SEE BELOW) actually made it a legitimate legal business. 2. Would the Post Office be ok with this...? I called them: 1-800-725-2161 and they confirmed THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! (See Title 18,h sections 1302 NS 1341 of Postal Lottery Laws). This clarifies the program of collecting names and addresses for a mailing list. 3. Is this moral? Well, everyone who sends me a buck has a good chance of getting A LOT of money ... a much better chance than buying a lottery ticket! So, having these questions answered, I invested EXACTLY $7.92 ... six $1.00 bills and six 32 cent postage stamps ... and boy am I glad I did! Within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I still figured it would end soon, and didn't give it another thought. But the money just continued coming in. In my first week, I made about $20.00 to $30.00 dollars. By the end of the second week I had a big total of $1,000.00! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it was 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..... It's certainly worth $6.00 and 6 stamps! So now I'm reposting this so I can make even more money! The *ONLY* thing stopping *ANYONE* from enriching their own bank account is pure laziness! It took me all of 5 MINUTES to print this out, follow the directions, and begin posting to newsgroups. It took me a mere 45 minutes to post to over 200 newsgroups. And for this GRAND TOTAL investment of $ 7.92 (US) and under ONE HOUR of my time, I have reaped an incredible amount of money -- like nothing I've ever even heard of anywhere before! 'Nuff said! 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 when you need it. The process is very simple and consists of THREE easy steps. ============ HOW IT WORKS ============ STEP 1: ------ Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of paper: PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING LIST. $1 US DOLLAR PROCESSING FEE IS ENCLOSED. (THIS IS KEY AS THIS IS WHAT MAKES IT LEGAL SINCE YOU ARE PAYING FOR AND LATER OFFERING A SERVICE). Now get 6 $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 theft/robbery. Then, 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 and an U.S. $1.00 bill. Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses: #1- Coveleski P.O. Box 803 Goshen, NY 10924 USA #2- Dixon G. 17811 S.W. 137th Court Miami, FL 33177 USA #3- Anders Roth Kuuvuorenkatu 1C 59 FIN-20540 TURKU FINLAND #4- Ron Cooper 177 Cochrane Cres. Ft. McMurray, Alta T9K 1H1 Canada #5- Bruce Franklin 26 Spire Hillway North York, Ontario. M2H 3A4 CANADA #6-Rasoir 21 Vine St. Scotia, NY 12302 USA 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. (If you want to remain anonymous put a nickname, but the address MUST be correct. It, of course, MUST contain your country, state/district/area, zip code, etc! You wouldn't want your money to fly away, wouldn't you?). STEP 3: Now post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. Remember that 200 postings are just a guideline. The more you post, the more money you make! Don't know HOW to post in the news groups? Well do exactly the following: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS FAST WITH YOUR WEB BROWSER: The fastest way to post a newsletter: Highlight and COPY (Ctrl-C) the text of this posted message and PASTE (Ctrl-V) it into a plain text editor (as Wordpad) and save it. After you have made the necessary changes that are stated above, simply COPY (Ctrl-C) and PASTE (Ctrl-V) the text into the message composition window, after selecting a newsgroup, and post it! (Or you can attach the file, without writing anything to the message window.) ------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3. Now click on 'ATTACHMENTS'. Then click on 'ATTACH FILE'. Find your file on your Hard Disk (the one you saved from the text editor). Once you find it, click on it and then click 'OPEN' and 'OK'. You should now see your file name in the attachments box. 4. Now click on 'SEND'/'POST'. You see? Now you just have 199 to go! (Don't worry, it's easy and quick once you get used to it.) NOTE: All the versions of Netscape Navigator's are similar to each other, so you'll have no problem to do this if you don't have Netscape Navigator 3.0. ================= Now the WHY part: ================= Out of 200 postings; say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example). So then I made $5.00 with my nam
