STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write >the following on each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING >LIST."

Simply put your cursor at the beginning >of this letter and drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and >select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into >the computers memory. Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your > >cursor at the top of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select >'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you >can add your name to the list. Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a >.txt file. If you want to do your postings in different settings, you'll > >always have this file to go back 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 >newsgroupes 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 MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM >OF 200** That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the world > >within days! You may eventually wany 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 200 >postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example). So then 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 a original investment of only $6.00! 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 >money? 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 everday 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.
