DO YOU WANT TO MAKE MONEY FAST??? Of course you do, we all do !!!

Here's how to do it with little effort and, IT'S LEGAL.

A little 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 dollars within weeks with an initial investment of only $6.00!

So I thought, "Yeah, right, this must be a scam!", but like most of us, I was curious. Like most of us, I kept reading anyway. The letter said that if I were to send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and addresses stated in the article, I could make thousands of dollars in a very short period of time. I then had to place my name and address at the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article to
at least 200 newsgroups.(There are about 22,000.)

No catch, that was it.

Even though the investment was a measely $6, I had three questions that needed to be answered before I could get involved in this sort of thing.

IS THIS REALLY LEGAL??

I called a lawyer first. The lawyer was skeptical about this program actually making any money 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. Would the Post Office be ok with this??

I called them: 1-800-725-2161. They confirmed THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! (See Title 18,h sections 1302 NS 1341 of Postal Lottery Laws). This clarifies the program of collecting
names and addresses for a mailing list.

3. Is this moral??

Well, everyone who sends me a buck has a good chance of getting A LOT of money ... 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 money in the mail! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, and didn't give it much thought. But the money just continued coming in. In my first week, I made about $20.00 to $30.00 dollars. By the end of the second week I had a mad 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 $42,000.00 and it's still coming in. It was certainly worth $6.00 and 6 stamps !!!

The *ONLY* thing stopping *ANYONE* from enriching their own bank account is pure laziness! It took me all of 5 MINUTES to print this out, follow the directions, and begin posting to newsgroups. It took me a mere 45 minutes to post to over 200 newsgroups. And for this GRAND TOTAL investment of $ 7.92 (US) and under ONE HOUR of my time, I have reaped an incredible amount of money -- like nothing I've ever even heard of anywhere before !

Let me tell you how this works, and most importantly, why it works. Make sure you print a copy of this article now, so you can get the information off of it when you need it. The process is very simple and consists of THREE easy steps.

HOW IT WORKS

Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:

STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece.

PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING LIST.
$1 US DOLLAR PROCESSING FEE IN ENCLOSED. (THIS IS A KEY ISSUE, THIS IS WHAT MAKES IT LEGAL. YOU ARE PAYING FOR AND OFFERING A SERVICE). Now get 6 $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope. This prevents theft and robbery. Now, place one 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 and a U.S. $1.00 bill.

Mike Pettis 1231 S, Ohio Avenue Columbus, Ohio 43206
Hugh O'Shea 50 Market Street, #1A Box 291 South Portland, ME 04106
TMR Distributions 17137 E. 107th St. N. Owasso, Ok 74055 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. If you want to remain anonymous, pick a nickname, but the address MUST be correct. It, of course, MUST contain your country, state/district/area, zip code, etc! You wouldn't want your money to fly away, would you?

STEP 3: Now post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. Remember, 200 postings is just a guideline. The more you post, the more money you make!

Don't know HOW to post in the news groups? Well do exactly the following:

HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS FAST WITH YOUR WEB BROWSER:

                The fastest way to post a newsletter:

Highlight and COPY(Ctrl-C) the text of this posted message and PASTE(Ctrl-V) it into a plain text editor(such as Notepad or Word) and save it. After you have made the necessary changes that are stated above, simply COPY(Ctrl-C) and PASTE(Ctrl-V) the text into the message composition window of a newsgroup, and post it! (Or you can attach the file, without writing anything to the message window.)

If you have Netscape Navigator 3.0 do the following:

Click on any newsgroup like normal, then click on 'TO NEWS'. This will bring up a box to type a message in.
Leave the newsgroup box like it is, change the subject box to something flashy, something to catch the eye, as "$$$ NEED CASH $$$?! READ HERE!$!$!$" or "$$$!!!MAKE FAST CASH, YOU CAN'T LOSE!!!$$$". Or you can use my subject title.
Now click on 'ATTACHMENTS'. Then click on 'ATTACH FILE'. Find your file on your Hard Disk(the one you saved from the text editor). Once you find it, click on it and then click 'OPEN' and 'OK'. You should now see your file name in the attachments box.
Now click on 'SEND'/'POST'. You see? Now you just have 199 to go!!!(Don't worry, it's easy and quick once you get used to it.)

NOTE: All the versions of Netscape Navigator's are similar to each other. You'll have no problems doing this if you don't have Netscape Navigator 3.0.

                                !QUICK TIP!
             (For Netscape Navigator 3.x and above)

You can post this message to many newsgroups at a time, by simply selecting a newsgroup near the top of the screen, hold down the SHIFT, and then select a newsgroup near the bottom of the screen. All of the newsgroups between will be selected. After that, you follow the basic steps, stated below in this letter, (except of step #1). You can go to the page stated below in this letter and click on a newsgroup to open up the newsgroups window. Once you've done this, in the same window go to 'OPTIONS', and then mark 'SHOW ALL NEWSGROUPS' and 'SHOW ALL MESSAGES'. Now you can see all the newsgroups and you can apply the easier tip above.

If you have MS Internet Explorer do the following:

Go to the newsgroups and press 'POST AN ARTICLE'. In the new window type your headline in the subject area and click in the large window below. Now either PASTE your letter (which has been copied from the text editor), or attach the file which contains it.
Then click on 'SEND' or 'OK'.
All versions of MS Internet Explorer are similar to each other, so you won't have any problem doing this.

GENERAL NOTES ON POSTING: If you want help, a nice web page to visit and find help with all the newsgroups is http://www.liszt.com/ (When you go to the home page, click on the link 'Newsgroup Directory'). But I don't think you'll have any problem posting because it's very easy once you've found the newsgroups. All these web browsers are similar. It doesn't matter which one you have. But it is very easy if you have Netscape Navigator 3.0 or later. You may download it from the Internet if you don't have it.) You just have to remember the basic steps, stated below.

BASIC STEPS FOR POSTING:

Find a newsgroup and you click on it.
You click on 'POST AN/NEW ARTICLE' or 'TO NEWS' or anything else similar to these.
You type your flashy headline in the subject box.
Now, either attach the file containing your amended letter, or PASTE the letter you have copied from the text editor.
Finally, you click on 'SEND' or 'POST' or 'OK', whatever is there.
- REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU MUST POST TO A MINIMUM OF 200 NEWSGROUPS **

That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the world within day's! You may eventually want to rent a P.O.Box due to the large amount of mail you 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 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example). So I made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and
post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $626.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00! With an original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! And as I said 5 responses is actually VERY LOW! Average is probable 20 to 30!

So lets put those figures at just 15 responses per person. Here is what would happen:

at #6 $15.00

at #5 $225.00

at #4 $3,375.00

at #3 $50,625.00

at #2 $759,375.00

at #1 $11,390,625.00

When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, send out another $6.00 to the names on the list, placing your name at number 6 again. Then start posting again. The thing to remember is that thousands of people all over the world are joining the internet and reading these articles everyday. So can you afford $6.00 to see if this really works!

People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money"? So what! What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users 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 work. You just have to be honest.

By the way, if you try to deceive people by posting the messages with your name in the list and not sending the money to the other 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. That was after seven or eight weeks! He then sent out 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 for people to share the wealth of the world without costing anything but our time! You may also want to buy a mailing or e-mail list for future efforts. However, the key to keeping this legal is by offering a product or a service for the $1.00 processing fee. Keep your mailing lists accurate in order to be legal.

Make sure you print this article out RIGHT NOW. Keep a list of everyone that sends you money 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 money!

GOOD LUCK to all. Please play fairly to reap the huge rewards from this program.

Remember to declare your extra income. Thanks once again...

Comments from Bob Novak who started this new version

LEGAL ? "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 assembling a mailing list of people who are interested in home based computer and online business opportunities. 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."

Build your mailing list, keep good records, 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. 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:

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 money is HUGE! And as I said, a few countries have that restriction.
You may want to buy mailing and e-mail lists for future dollars. (Or Database or Spreadsheet software.)
If you're really not sure or still think this can't be for real, please print a copy of this article and pass it along to someone who really needs the money, and see what happens.
You will start getting responses within 1-2 weeks, it depends.
