Taking 5 minutes to read what follows could be one of the best decisions
you have ever made.  It's QUICK, HONEST, and LEGAL !!!


I saw an article in an internet newsgroup telling me that I could make
$50,000 within a month for an investment of only $5.

I thought it was a huge joke.  I spoke to my attorney, friends and family
about it, and they all agreed it was some kind of scam.  I can't stand
scams, because usually someone gets burned, and I didn't want it it to be
me.  After rejecting the idea at first, I realized all I had to lose was
the $5 in my wallet.  I figured what the heck, and decided to give it a
shot.

A friend told me that he invested $5 and two weeks later he began receiving
money in the mail!  Soon, hundreds, and then thousands of dollars began to
roll in.  Within 4 weeks, he had received a total of $32,445!  It came from
everywhere in the world.

If you follow the three steps below, there is no reason why the same
shouldn't happen to you!  This is a 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.

If you are not interested, then don't participate, but please print this
article and pass it on to someone who may be interested, so they can take
advantage.

The procedure is simply:

1)  Write your name, address, and country on 5 sheets of paper.  Below
that, write the words, "Please add me to your mailing list."  You should
use thick dark paper to discourage mail theft.  Fold a $1 bill in each
piece of paper and mail them to the following 5 addresses:


1.  Iffat Ara Sadique
    183-11, Hillside Ave, Apt 6K
    Jamaica Estates, NY 11432

2. Adam Gross
    4730 Pond Creek Road
    Alexandria, KY 41001-9766

3.  Jose Moreno
     9A Ware St. #17
     Cambridge, MA 02138

4.  H Crawshaw, 215 Liverpool Rd, Newcastle-under-Lyme,
     Staffordshire, ST5 9HW, England.

5.  Tom Laurinavicius
    1355 E53rd St.
    Brooklyn , NY 11234 USA

2)  Now remove the top name from the list, and move the other four names
up.  In other words, #5 becomes #4 and so on.  Put your name as the fifth
one on the list.  You can do this by simply retyping the article or
reposting it to other newsgroups with the edited addresses.

3)  Post the article to at least 200 newsgroups.  There are 19,000, so it
shouldn't be hard to find that many.

You are now in the mail order investment business, and should start seeing
returns within a week or two.  Of course, the more newgroups you post to,
the greater your return will be.  If you wish to remain anonymous, you may
use a psuedonym, but make sure your address is correct.

IS THIS LEGAL?????

Yes it is!  You are using the Internet to advertise your business.  What is
your business??  You are assembling a mailing list of people who are
interested in home based computer and online businesses and methods of
generating income at home.

People send you a small fee ($1) to be added to your list.  This is legal.
What will you do with your list of thousands of names?  This is up to you. 
You may sell it to direct marketing firms, share it, or whatever else you
want to do.  Either way, the money received is legal income.

FOLLOW THE RULES.  They're tried and true, they're legal, and they work. 
No need to reinvent the wheel.  Also, be sure to keep a record of everyone
who sends you a request.  This is your mailing list and the more it grows,
the more it will be worth to you, and to others, such as direct marketing
firms, who may wish to purchase your list at a later date.

Now, here is why the system works:

The internet is growing at a tremendous rate - it doubles in size every 4
months.  Think about it.  You see those 'Make Money Fast' posts more and
more.  All that growth means profits for everyone who participates.  There
are no losers.

Of every 200 posts I made, I received 5 responses.  Yes, only 5.  You make
$5 for every 200 posts with your name at #5.

Each person who sent you $1 now also makes 200 additional postings with
your name at #4. ie. 1000 postings.  On average therefore, 50 people will
send you $1 with your name at #4.  $50.

Your 50 new agents make 200 postings each with your name at #3 or 10,000
postings.  Average return 500 people=$500.  They make 200 postings each
with your name at #2=100,000 postings=5000 return at $1 each=$5000.

Finally, 5,000 people make 200 postings with your name at #1 and you get a
return of $50,000 before your name drops off the list.  AND THATS IF
EVERYONE DOWN THE LINE MAKES ONLY 200 POSTINGS!  Total income in one cycle
= $55,000.

From time to time, when you see your name no longer on the list, you take
the latest posting that appears in the newsgroups, and send out another $5,
and put your name at #5, and start posting again.  Remember, 200 postings
is only a guideline.  The more you post, the greater the return.

Lets review why you should do this.  THE ONLY COST IS $5, AND 5 STAMPS, AND
5 ENVELOPES.  Anyone can afford $5 for such an effortless investment with
such 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??

There are millions of internet users, and millions of new net surfers every
month.

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 postings to make sure everyone is playing fairly.  You know where
your name should be.

REMEMBER - HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY.
WHAT ARE 5 DOLLARS TO YOU?
YOU DO NOT NEED TO CHEAT THIS IDEA TO MAKE MONEY!!!  This is the easiest
way that you can make a buck.  Think how excited you'll be to open up your
mailbox day after day!  Will it be $49?  $122?  Start making your plans,
because it can happen to you.

Extra section:
HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS FAST WITH YOUR WEB BROWSER:

If you have Netscape 3.0 do EXACTLY the following:

1)  Click on any newsgroup like normal, THEN click on 'TO NEWS', which is
on the far left when you're in the newsgroups page.  This will bring up a
box to type a message in.

2)  Leave the newsgroup box like it is, CHANGE the subject box to something
flashy, like, "NEED CASH $$$ READ HERE $$$ or "FAST CASH"!!!

3)  Tab once and you should be ready to type.  Now, retype (only once) THIS
whole article WORD FOR WORD, except insert your name at #5,  and remove #1
off the list, plus any other small changes you think you need to make. 
Keep almost all of it the SAME!

4)  When you're done typing the WHOLE article, click on FILE in THIS BOX,
RIGHT ABOVE SEND, NOT WHERE IT SAYS NETSCAPE NEWS ON THE FIRST BOX.

Click on SAVE AS when you're under FILE.  Save your article as a text file
to your C: or A: drive.  DO NOT SEND OR POST YOUR ARTICLE UNTIL YOU DO
THIS.  Once saved, move on to number 5 below.

NOTE:  If you don't want to type in the whole article by hand, AND you know
how to use a plain text editor (like Notepad), you can edit the file ahead
of time, then attach it as shown in step 6.

5)  If you still have all of your text, send or post to this newsgroup now
by just clicking send, which is right below FILE, and right above Cc:

6)  Here's where you're going to post all 200.  OK, click on any newsgroup
then click on 'TO NEWS', again in the top left corner.  Leave the
NEWSGROUPS BOX alone again, put a flashy subject title in the SUBJECT BOX,
hit TAB once you're in the body of the message.

Click on ATTACHMENTS, which is below the SUBJECT BOX.  You will get another
box to come up.  Click on ATTACH FILE, then find YOUR file that if you did
this right, you should see your file name in the attachments box, and it
will be shaded green.

NOTE:  If you don't want to type in the whole article and you know how to
use a plain text editor (Notepad), you can edit the file ahead of time,
then attach it.



IF YOU USE IE EXPLORER IT'S JUST AS EASY...HOLDING DOWN THE LEFT MOUSE
BUTTON,

highlight this article.  Then press the "ctrl" key and the "c" key at the
same time to copy this article.  Then print this article for your records,
to have the names of those you will be sending $1 bills to.

2)  Go to the news groups and press "post an article".   A window will
open.  Type in your headline in the subject area and then click in the
large window below.  Press "ctrl" and then "v" and the article will be
placed in the window.

If you want to edit the article, do so and then highlight and copy it
again.  Now every time you post the article in a new newsgroup all you have
to repeat is "ctrl" and "v" and press post.

3)  That's it.  Each time you do this, all you have to do is type in a
different newsgroup, so that way it posts to 200 DIFFERENT newsgroups, or
more.


You see?  Now you just have 199 to go!! (Don't worry, each one takes about
30 seconds, once you get used to it.

REMEMBER 200 IS THE MINIMUM.  The more you post the more money you will
receive.

AND THAT'S IT!!  THEY ARE ONLY STEPS!!!
