> >
> > 1. Immediately send a $1 dollar bill to each of the 6 people on the

> > program! Also, let each person know what number they are in your
> > letter so he/she knows which cycle he is receiving the $1.00 from.
> > Make sure that you retain EVERY name and address sent to you, either on
> > computer or hard copy, but do not discard the names and notes that people
> > send
> > to you. This is PROOF that you are truly providing a service, and
> > should the IRS or some other government agency question you, you

> > all the people who send you a dollar requesting to be added on a
> > mailing list. Actually, you will want to safeguard this list because
> > it can generate even better responses and much more money later! See
> > step #4 below.
> >
> > 2. Remove the name next to the #1 on the list, and move the rest of
> > the names up one position. Then place your name in the #6 spot.
> > Thus, #6 becomes #5, #4 becomes #3, etc., and YOU will be #6 on the
> > list. DO NOT EDIT THIS LETTER ANYMORE BEYOND THIS POINT. When you
> > are mailing this letter, you may edit the references to the Internet.
> >
> > 3. Post this letter in at least 200 newsgroups. You can simply copy
> > the contents of this letter and paste it to the newsgroups of your
> > choice. IMPORTANT NOTE: Please pay attention to the newsgroups in
> > which you post. If there is an abundance of similar letters, you may
> > want to seek another newsgroup. Thus, pay respect to the harmony of the
> > newsgroup and use common sense. There are plenty of newsgroups on the
> > Internet.
> > (I think there are close to 18,000 of them.) For added success, you
> > can also mail this letter as well, in addition to posting in
> > newsgroups. Order 200 (or more) names from a mailing list company.
> > Two that have been most effective for these names are:
> > S.E. Mailing List Advon Distributors
> > P. O. Box 15061 P. O. Box B-11
> > Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33318 Shelly, ID 83274
> > (954) 742-9519 (800) 992-3866
> >
> > 4. Keep a copy of this letter so you can use it a second time. Also
> > keep EACH AND EVERY NAME AND ADDRESS SENT TO YOU as instructed in #1.
> > Then, send out more copies in about 6 months, but mail it to the
> > addresses you receive (your new mailing list) with each dollar! It

> > 1. K.D.D.P. 1310A Jefferson Av. Sheboygan,WI 53081-4343 USA

> > 1. DO NOT TRY AND CHEAT THIS PROCESS. IF YOU DO, YOU WILL NOT

> > 2. The Internet is a very effective medium for exposing this vehicle.

> > 3. Keep a positive frame of mind while engaging in this process, and

> > 4. In order to achieve maximum results DO NOT CHANGE THE CONTENTS OF

> > 5. When the money begins to arrive, it is a good gesture to give 10%
