Dear Friends,
My name is Dave Rhodes. In September 1988 my car was reposessed and the bill collectors were hounding me like you wouldn't believe. I was laid off and my unemployment checks had run out. The only escape I had from the pressure of failure was my computer and my modem. I longed to turn my advocation into my vocation. This January 1989 my family and I went on a ten day cruise to the tropics. I bought a Lincoln Town Car for CASH in Feburary 1989. I am currently building a home on the West Coast of Florida, with a private pool, boat slip, and a beautiful view of the bay from my breakfast room table and patio. I will never have to work again. Today I am rich! I have earned over $400,000.00 (Four Hundred Thousand Dollars) to date and will become a millionaire within 4 or 5 months. Anyone can do the same. This money making program works perfectly every time, 100% of the time. I have NEVER failed to earn $50,000.00 or more whenever I wanted. Best of all you never have to leave home except to go to your mailbox or post office. In October 1988, I received a letter in the mail telling me how I could earn $50,000 dollars or more whenever I wanted. I was naturally very skeptical and threw the letter on the desk next to my computer. It's funny though, when you are desperate, backed into a corner, your mind does crazy things. I spent a frustating day looking through the want ads for a job with a future. The pickings were sparse at best. That night I tried to unwind by booting up my computer and calling several bulletin boards. I read several of the message posts and than glanced at the letter next to the computer. All at once it came to me, I now had the key to my dreams. I realized that with the power of the computer I could expand and enhance this money making formula into the most unbelievable cash flow generator that has ever been created. I substituted the computer bulletin boards in place of the post office and electronically did by computer what others were doing 100% by mail. Now only a few letters are mailed manually. Most of the hard work is speedily downloaded to other bulletin boards throughout the world. If you believe that someday you deserve that lucky break that you have waited for all your life, simply follow the easy instructions below. Your dreams will come true.
Sincerely yours,
Dave Rhodes
INSTRUCTIONS
Follow these instructions EXACTLY, and in 20 to 60 days
you will have received well over $50,000.00 cash, all
yours. This program has remained successful because of
the honesty and integrety of the participants. Please
continue its success by carefully adhering to the
instructions.
Welcome to the world of Mail Order! This little business is a little different than most mail order houses. Your product is not solid and tangible, but rather a service. You are in the business of developing Mailing lists. Many large corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists.
(The money made from the mailing lists are secondary to the income which is made from people like yourself requesting that they be included in that list.)
- Immediately mail $1.00 to the first 5 (five) names listed below starting at number 1 through number 5. Send CASH only please (total investment $5.00). Enclose a note with each letter stating: "Please add my name to your mailing list." For other countries the equvielent amount may be sent, e.g. in Hong Kong Send HK$10 as this is the lowest denomination note.
(This is a legitimate service that you are requesting and you are paying $1.00 for this service).
2) Remove the name that appears number 1 on the list. Move the other 9 names up one position. (Number 2 will become number 1 and number 3 will become number 2, etc.) Place your name, address and zip code in the number 10 position.
3) Post the new letter with your name in the number 10 position into 10 (Ten) separate bulletin boards in the message base or to the file section, call the file, MAKE.MONEY.FAST. 4) Within 60 days you will receive over $50,000.00 in CASH. Keep a copy of this file for yourself so that you can use it again and again whenever you need money. As soon as you mail out these letters you are automatically in the mail order business and people are sending you $1.00 to be placed on your mailing list. This list can than be rented to a list broker that can be found in the Yellow Pages for additional income on a regular basis. The list will become more valuable as it grows in size. This is a service. This is perfectly legal. If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18, Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the postal lottery laws.
NOTE: Make sure you retain EVERY Name and Address sent to you, either on computer or hard copy, but do not discard the names and notes they send you. This is PROOF that you are truely providing a service and should the IRS or some other Government Agency question you, you can provide them with this proof!
Remember as each post is downloaded and the instructions carefully followed, five 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 number five position you will be receiving thousands of dollars in cash.

The following letters were written by participating members in this program.
To Whom It May Concern:
About six months ago I received the enclosed post in letter form. I ignored it. I received about five more of the same letter within the next two weeks. I ignored them also. Of course, I was tempted to follow through and dreamed of making thousands, but I was convinced it was just another gimmick and could not possibly work. I was wrong! About three weeks later I saw this same letter posted on a local bulletin board in Montreal. I liked the idea of giving it a try with my computer. I didn't expect much because I figured, if other people were as skeptical as I, they wouldn't be too quick to part with Five Dollars. But, I buy lottery tickets weekly in my province and have nothing to show for it but ticket stubs. This week I decided to look at this as my weekly lottery purchase. I addressed the envelopes and mailed out one dollar in each as directed. Two weeks went by and I didn't recieve anything in the mail. The fourth week rolled around and I couldn't believe what happened! I can't say I received $50,000, but it was definitely well over $35,000! For the first time in ten years, I got out of debt. It was great. Of course, it didn't take me long to go through my earnings so I am using this excellent money opportunity once again. Follow the instructions and get ready to enjoy.
Please send a copy of this letter along with the enclosed letter so together we can convince people who are skeptical that it really works!
Good Luck,

Another letter:
I tried a similar program in which the cost was $5.00
per response. In that one the return was about 3%. Since
I did not have a modem I sent out letters regular mail. I
created a few mailing labels and printed out all of the
labels on pressure sensitive tape. The first mailing that
I used the $1.00 dollar per reponse approach I started to
get return mail in just over one week! I sent out 200
letters instead of 100 that is required if you use the
mail instead of the bulletion boards. Additionally, I
included as many friends, relatives, classmates, that I
could think of in order to encourage their participation
if they happened to recognize my name, so my percentage of
gain was higher. I am trying again with 500 letters to
see if I surpass the $141,000 of the last time. You just
won't believe it until you try.
Best Wishes,

Additional Notes:
This system works equally well if mailed out manually. Mind you it takes more effort to hand address the envelopes and the cost goes up proportionately to cover the postage and envelopes. You must also photo copy the instructions, cross out the name in number one position, write in your name in the number ten slot and change the rest of the numbers accordingly. (It might be neater to use white out or paste over the names.) In order to achieve the same results you must send out the $1.00 dollar to the first five names and then send out another 100 letters with copies of the program enclosed. It has been suggested not to put a return address on the outside of the envelope in order to encourage the recipient to open it. The return will approximate that then received from the posts listed on the bulletin boards.
Hello,
My name is JP Bogers and I'm playing this game for the third time. The first time I played the postal system and it brought me some 17.500 USD. I bought myself a small sailing boat. The second time, using this system, I earned 23.500 USD. I know, a long way from 50.000, but not bad, huh. I bought a new car.
Hello, my name is Steve Prester. As you may have noticed I'm the tenth name on this list, so I do not have a rags-to-riches story to tell here. However, I did make a phone call to the 2nd name on this list, Ernest Goyette. Did he have a rags to riches story to tell? Not exactly, but then I found out that he did not follow the instructions precisely. You see, Ernest lost faith in the program before he had finished following instructions. He only uploaded this file on one BBS, which happens to be operated by Darryl McGinnis, the 3rd name on this list. Ernest told me that he has received $92.00 to date (1/6/90). I realize this is far from the $50,000.00 promised at the first of this file, yet one must keep two things in mind:
- $92.00 is almost 10 times his initial investment, and it only took about an hour of his time (there's nothing to lose).
- This program works mathematically on an exponential scale. In other words, for every one BBS that this file is uploaded onto, it should spread to at least ten other BBSs and possibly a whole lot more. So, if Ernest had uploaded his file on all ten BBSs, he should have at least gotten a hundred-fold of what he has, which would be $9200.00. Not bad for a few hours work and a $6.25 investment (including postage).
Finally, I would like to exhort those who become involved in this program to maintain its integrity by being honest. It is the only way that it can possibly pay off. In other words, be sure to enter your name at the bottom of the list and not in one of the top five positions (actually this would be robbing yourself since it is while your name is in the lower positions that it gets multiplied exponentially over hundreds of BBSs). And, of course, send your $1.00 off to the first five names. As I write this I have not made a penny (that's because I have not uploaded this yet), but I thought you might like to hear from someone at the bottom of the list, instead of someone claiming rags-to-riches. I hope such is true, and I'm sure it will be if we all stick with it. The potential is definitely here!
P.S. Call me if you get rich.
Hello,
I'm Kurt Segers from Belgium and was inspired by the money earned by a friend of mine. He honestly bought himself a sailing boat and a new sportscar with the profit of this "game". Attracted by this luxerous moneymaking by simply spending 5 USD enormously teashed my attention.
Hello,
I am the current #10 on the list, I too am sceptical.
Well what do we all have to lose. It is worth a try
in order to realize some substantial gain. Don't any of you
out there want to upgrade your PC's. I certainly do, but
can't afford to. I hope that this program will make enough
cash in order to buy a super system.

Hey There! Glad your thinking about this seriously because I am! If all these people are making money then why not be included with them and get some also? I'm going to be #10 on this list, and Im uploading it everywhere! If you have the access :) then follow through, upload it, and see what happens! Hey, Imagine earning enough to buy a 486? or one of those high speed modems that cost hundreds of dollars? What about buying your OWN BBS ? Who wouldnt want to be the Sys-Op of their VERY OWN board? I know I wouldnt mind :) What do you have to lose but 5 bucks compared to the hundreds and thousands you CAN make? I know Im down.. Will you be the very next to EARN some cash? Talib Khan
Hello, I'm Stephanie Kemach and I am now the tenth person on this list. I'm trying out this idea in the hopes that it will pan out, but I've never seen anything like this before. Still, for a meager investment of $5.00, what do any of us have to lose? It's worth a try and I'm trying it out now. Good luck to everyone else who uses this great-looking money-making idea.
This is John Gibbs, call me Gibber. Stephanie is no longer the last on this list, hopefully I can say the same soon. I agree that the investment is quite meager, let's see if everybody can benefit from it. Just a note that Canadians will be happy to accept American money at par if it is possible. Good luck to all! Bon Chance, Au Revoir.
Hi this is Jurgen Kreisel, please add my name to the mailing list. I am the new kid on the block as the last person on this list. I have always been told that if it sounds to good to be true it probably is, but what the hay I can blow 5.00 at the video store and get nothing for my money either. Well here goes nothing.
Hi! I guess I'm now No#10. I have never done anything like this before. I never even reply to chain letters. I guess I am doing this one coz I think its actually gonna work. If it doesn't I simply lose a bit of money (which I probably would have lost at the race meet tommorow anyways). Time to find out if this thing really works....
Well gee shucks! ...i guess i'm now the 10th dude on this list, as always u might feel that this is NOT going to work and that people are not gonna start doing this crap and mailing people money, but hey! ...it's only 5 bucks US isn't it? ...what've u got to lose eh? i'm certainly gonna try since right now a bit of money wouldn't be bad while trying to get into a good university with all the hassles of school!
...seeya lateR! =)

Hi! I guess I'm No#10 now.I think it is a interesting game for me and u to have a money making.I have never heard it before,but,at least,i believed it can let me to upgrade the computer.
Well! This chain letter can give me a hope ,it just cost me $10. if it is workable,I have many times of this $10.So try this. It is hoped that the result will be appeared as fast as possible.
Now, I am No.#10.!!!!! I think this chain letter investment is quite interesting......and worthy... So..I try it now.....and It can help anyone to upgrade his computer only by investment of "US$5.00" or "HK$50.00". Finally, Anyone see this mail, please join this activity.. and please be honest!!! Don't add your name at the top 5 instead of the bottom of the mailing list!!!!!!! Furthermore, Please send the money to the first 5 people!!!!
Kit, 13/2/1994
Do everyone want to try this!? It is quite interesting. I try it now.
Cindy 14/3/1994
