GET $40,000 WITH 8 BUCKS !!!?? MARK THEDE
ARE YOU READY TO GET $40,000 IN 6 WEEKS WITH ONLY 8 BUCKS!!??
If everyone sends just $6.00 and posts to at least 300 discussion lists,

mailing lists, newsgroups and more, this will definitely work!

I found this posted in another group and thought I'd try it. I'd been
looking for ways to raise money for a nonprofit organization that
"sends"
medical aid to impoverished countries. I was very skeptical, but
desperate--
bake sales and fundraisers just didn't cut it. The initial investment is

$6.00 plus six stamps--other participants have earned $2,500 in almost 3

weeks from following this original message below:

Here is the original post:

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 $7.92 ... six
$1.00
bills and six 32 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, th
e 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:


#1) Christopher L. Sloan 2200 Hickory St. H.S.U. Box #14579 Abilene, TX
79698

#2)Kristen DeJoseph 138 Jansen Street Staten Island, NY 10312

#3) W. Holden HCO1 Box 2669 Oracle, AZ 85623

#4) MARK JOHN THEDE 2626 FRANKFORD RD #6305 DALLAS TX. 75287

#5) WAGDI TANIOS  2477 W. LINCOLN ave. #41  ANAHEIM,CA 92801

#6) Sean Corcione    6 Anna Ave. Aberdeen, NJ 07747

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!

to.

Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for various
newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.)

Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new
message by
highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit
menu.
Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they
scroll through the list of postings in a particular group, click the
post
message button. You're done with your first one!
Congratulations...THAT'S
IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away,
after
you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each
newsgroup!

**REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE CASH YOU WILL
MAKE!!
BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 300**

That's it! You will begin receiving CASH from around the world within
days!
You may eventually want to rent a P.O.Box due to the large amount of
mail
you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name
to
use, as long as the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE
ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.**

Now the WHY part: Out of 300 postings, say I receive only 7 replies (a
very
low example). So then I made $7.00 with my name at #6 on the letter.
Now,
each of the 7 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 300
postings,
each with my name at #5 and only 7 persons respond to each of the 7
original
7, that is another $49.00 for me, now those 49 each make 300 MINIMUM
posts
with my name at #4 and only 7 replies each, I will bring in an
additional
$343.00! Now, those 343 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 300
with my
name at #3 and only receive 7 replies each, I will make an additional
$2401.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 2401 persons post
a
MINIMUM 300 letters with my name at #2 and they each only receive 7
replies,
that just made me $16,807.00!!! Those 16807 persons will all deliver
this
message to 300 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 7 persons per
300
Newsgroups react I will receive $117,649.00! With an original investment
of
only $6.00! And some stamps. AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the

list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out
another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again.
And
start posting again. The thing to remember is: do you realize that
thousands
of people all over the world are joining the internet and reading these
articles everyday? JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So, can you afford $6.00 and
see
if it really works?? I think so... People have said, "what if the plan
is
played out and no one sends you the CASH? So what! What are the chances
of
that happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest
people
who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to
give
it a try?

Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with thousands
of
those joining the actual internet.

Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really work.

** By the way, if you try to deceive people by posting the messages with

your name in the list and not sending the CASH to the rest of the people

already on the list, you will NOT get as much. Someone I talked to knew
someone who did that and he only made about $150.00, and that's after
seven
or eight weeks! Then he sent the 6 $1.00 bills, people added him to
their
lists, and in 4-5 weeks he had over $10k. This is the fairest and most
honest way I have ever seen to share the wealth of the world without
costing
anything but our time!!! You also may want to buy mailing and e-mail
lists
for future CASH. Make sure you print this article out RIGHT NOW! Also,
try
to keep a list of everyone that sends you CASH and always keep an eye on
the
newsgroups to make sure everyone is playing fairly. Remember, HONESTY IS
THE
BEST POLICY. You don't need to cheat the basic idea to make the CASH!!
GOOD
LUCK to all and please play fairly and reap the huge rewards from this,
which is tons of extra CASH.

Please remember to declare your extra income. Thanks once again...

"People have asked me if this is really legal. Well, it is! You are
using
the Internet to advertise your business. What is that business? You are
creating a mailing list of people who are interested in home based
computer
and online business and methods of generating income at home. Remember,
people send you a small fee to be added to your mailing list. It is
legal.
what will you do with your list of thousands of names? That's up to
you."
So, build your mailing list, keep good accounts, declare the income and
pay
your taxes. By doing this you prove your business intentions. Keep an
eye on
the newsgroups and when the cash has stopped coming (that means your
name is
no longer on the list), you just take the latest posting at the
newsgroups,
send another $6.00 to the names stated on the list, make your
corrections
(put your name at #6) and start posting again.

NOTES: *1. In some countries, the export of the country's exchange is
illegal. But you can get the license to do this from the post office,
explaining the above statements (that you have an online business, etc.
You
may have to pay an extra tax, but that's OK, the amount of the incoming
CASH
is HUGE! And as I said, a few countries have that restriction . *2. You
may
want to buy mailing and e-mail lists for future CASH. (Or Database or
Spreadsheet software.) *3. If you're really not sure or still think this

can't be for real, please print a copy of this article and give it to
someone who really needs the CASH, and see what happens. *4. You will
start
getting responses within 1-2 weeks, it depends.

***ALSO REMEMBER*** SEND YOUR $1 OUT TO EVERYONE ON THE LIST, EVEN IF
THEY
ARE NOT FROM THE U.S.

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR???
$$$!!!$$$!!!$$$!!!$$$!!!$$$!!!$$$!!!$$$!!!$$$!!!$$$!!!

GOOD LUCK!!
