READ THIS! I'm Glad I did! Best way for Quick easy cash, for REAL!
LOTS OF CASH, FAST AND COMPLETELY LEGAL, THIS REALLY WORKS!!
 THIS REALLY CAN MAKE YOU EASY MONEY!! IT WORKS!!! BUT YOU
 HAVE TO FOLLOW IT TO THE LETTER FOR IT TO WORK!!!!
A little while back, I was browsing through 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 only an initial investment
of $6.00! So I thought," Yeah, right, this must be a scam", but like
most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you
send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and
address stated in the article. You then place your own name and address
in the bottom of
the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. (There
are thousands) No
catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few
people first, I thought about trying it. I figured what have I got to
lose except 6 stamps and $6.00, right? 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! Then I invested the measly
$6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!!... within 7 days, I started getting money in
the mail! I was shocked! I figured
it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week,
I made about $25.00.
By the end of the second week I had made a total of over $1,000.00! In
the third week I
had over $10,000.00 and it's 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
rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more
than that on
the lottery!! Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why
it works....also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so
you can get the information off
of it as you need it.  A cousin of mine did this a few months back, and
he is now enjoying life in his brand new Tahoe Sport!! ($30,000+). So
it does work!!
 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. Next, 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 by this. THIS IS
ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! Mail the 6  envelopes to the following addresses:

  1- A.L.
: Rimon 631/24
: Natzareth illit, T.D. 13123
: ISRAEL (17000)

: 2- Jared Franklin

  6- Bill Boyer
: 8776 Fern Glen Dr.
: St. Louis, MO 63126
: USA
:
 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 200
newsgroups. (I think there are close to 24,000 groups) All you need is
200, but remember, the more you post,
the more money you make! ---DIRECTIONS -----HOW TO POST TO
NEWSGROUPS------------  Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire
letter to do your own
posting. 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 sittings, 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 reciving 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 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. Also,
for the skeptics, you're looking at this and thinking about doing it
right? imagine how many millions are looking and thinking the
EXACT same thing!!

Exactly.  Let everybody on earth do this, and we can finally print those 
cool one billion ($, �, DM) bills again :D

And hey, there would be no more world hunger, as money would rain from 
the sky.

I read somewhere on the Internet (so take it with whatever dose of
salt you feel is appropriate) that the second greatest source of
foreign income for Nigeria is now Nigerian email scams.

The word "stupid" just seems too weak to express my feelings about
this.

So curing world hunger is an appropriate title, huh? ;)

Well, I wonder who would actually do the work necessary to send a money 
order to Nigeria... (or do they take Paypal these days?)

Amazingly, lawyers seem to fall prey to this.

Have a look at the Twinsectra case, a case where (among other vastly
amusing and complex manouverings ), a lawyer named Sims sent 50,000
pounds to the Nigerian scammers.

"Although centring upon a reasonably straightforward business loan, 
the facts of the case are complicated by what started out as an entirely 
separate transaction entered into by Yardley. This transaction 
(the Nigerian scheme) required payments to be made to Nigerian 
officials who would then release the sum of $49.2m(2).

 This was to be distributed to the 'investors' resulting in 
large returns for their relatively small outlay. The scheme 
was promoted by a solicitor, Mr Sims. At the time at which 
the loan was being negotiated Sims had entered into a personal 
undertaking guaranteeing Yardley a return of $1.5m on his initial 
outlay of $75,000 within 3 months. A second undertaking 
(this time conditional upon the success of the scheme) was 
to be given against a further $50,000 'investment' by Yardley."

I don't find this surprising.
