Have Money Mailed 2 U
FASTEST WAY TO MAKE BIG BUCKS $$ A 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 CASH within weeks with only
an initial investment of $6.00 plus stamps! So I thought, "Yeah, right,
this must be a scam!" But like most of us I was curious and kept
reading. It said that if you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and
addresses listed 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 300
newsgroups. (There are about 32,000 of them out there and that`s quite a
large market pool). 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 sceptical that I would
actually make any CASH 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. IS
OK WITH THE POST OFFICE OR IS IT MAIL FRAUD? I called them: 1-800-725-
2161 and they confirmed THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! (See 18, h
sections1302 NS 1341 of Postal Lottery Laws). This clarifies the program
of collecting names and addresses for a mailing list. 3. IS IT RIGHT?
Well, everyone who sends me a buck has a good chance of getting A LOT of
CASH ... a much better chance than buying a lottery ticket!!! So, having
these questions answered, I invested EXACTLY $7.98... six $1.00 bills
and six 33 cent postage stamps ... and boy am I glad I did!!! Within 7
days, I started getting CASH in the mail! I was shocked! I figured it
would end soon and didn`t give it another thought. But the CASH
continued coming in. In my first week I made between $20 to $30. By the
end of the second week I had a made a 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 and it`s still
coming in ..... It`s certainly worth $6.00 and 6 stamps !!! Also, make
sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the
information off of it as you need it. I promise you that if you follow
the directions exactly, that you will start making more CASH than you
thought possible by doing something so easy! Suggestion: Read this
entire message carefully! (print it out or download it.) Follow the
simple directions and watch the CASH come in! It`s easy. It`s legal.
And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus postage) IMPORTANT: This is not
a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not illegal; and it is virtually no
risk - it really works!!!! If all of the following instructions are
adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends. PLEASE NOTE:
Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be yours
in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of the honesty
and integrity of the participants. Please continue its success by
carefully adhering to the instructions. You will now become part of the
Mail Order business. In this business your product is not solid and
tangible, it`s a service. You are in the business of developing Mailing
Lists. Many large corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality
lists. However, the CASH made from the mailing lists is secondary to the
income which is made from people like you and me asking to be included
in that list. Here are the 4 easy steps to success: STEP 1: Get 6
separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of paper
"PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 6 US $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 thievery). 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, your name and
address, and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service.
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and
you are paying for it! Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a
little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out
with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is
indeed legal! Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:
Warwick, R.I. 02886
1.) D. Gruenbacher
P.O. Box 96
Colwich, Ks. 67030
2.) Christopher Karim
5680 Royal Wood
West Bloomfield, MI 48322
3.) Joshua Baker
216 Berwyn Dr. W Apt. 76
Mobile, AL 36608
4) Tyson Winneker
572 E. Foothill Blvd. Apt. 21
San Luis Obispo, CA 93405
5.) Bryan Black
579 McKinley Terrace
Centerport, NY 11721
6.) Anne Flathe
P.O. Box 294
Redan, GA 30074
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. STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to
keep this article as close to original as possible. Now, post your
amended article to at least 300 newsgroups. (I think there are close to
32,000 groups) All you need is 300, but remember, the more you post, the
more CASH you make! This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts,
refer to 18 Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws. Keep a copy of
these steps for yourself and, whenever you need CASH, you can use it
again, and again. PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful
because of the honesty and integrity of the participants and by their
carefully adhering to the directions. Look at it this way. If you are a
person of integrity, the program will continue and the CASH that so many
others have received will come your way. NOTE: You may want to retain
every name and address sent to you, either on a computer or hard copy
and keep the notes people send you. This VERIFIES that you are truly
providing a service. (Also, it might be a good idea to wrap the $1 bill
in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail theft.) So, as each post is
downloaded and the directions carefully followed, six members will be
reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer with one dollar
each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so that when your
name reaches the #1 position you will be receiving thousands of CASH in
CASH!!! What an opportunity for only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first
six people listed above) Send it now, add your own name to the list and
you`re in business! ---DIRECTIONS ----- FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS
