      HOW TO TURN $6 INTO $6,000!!!!!!\par
      READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE!\par
      I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little\par
      while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now,\par
      and came across an article similar to this that said you could make\par
      thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of\par
      $6.00! So I thought, Yeah right, this must be a scam,but\par
      like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said\par
      that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the\par
      article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of\par
      the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups.\par
      (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it\par
      over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I\par
      figured: what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00,\par
      right? Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!!...\par
      within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I\par
      figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my\par
      first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had\par
      made a total of over $1,000.00! In the third week I had over\par
      $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I\par
      have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in\par
      rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more\par
      than that on the lottery!! Let me tell you how this works and most\par
      importantly, why it works....Also, make sure you print a copy of this\par
      article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it.\par
      I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you\par
      will start making more money than you thought possible by doing\par
      something so easy!\par
      Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (print it out or\par
      download it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come
in!\par
      It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus
postage)\par
\par
      IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not\par
      illegal; and it is virtually no risk - it really works!!!!\par
      If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive\par
      extraordinary dividends.\par
\par
      PLEASE NOTE:\par
      Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be\par
      yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of\par
      the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its\par
      success by carefully adhering to the instructions.\par
      You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business\par
      your product is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in\par
      the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are\par
      happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made\par
      from the mailing lists is secondary to the income which is made from\par
      people like you and me asking to be included in that list.\par
      Here are the 4 easy steps to success:\par
\par
      STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on \par
      each piece of paper;PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST. Now\par
      get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of\par
      paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope (to prevent\par
      thievery). Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal\par
      them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of\par
      paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00\par
      bill. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY\par
      LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for\par
      it! Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried\par
      about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S.\par
      Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed\par
      legal! Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:\par
\par
      #1) Jeff Millan\par
            1113 N. 191/2\par
            McAllen,TX 78501\par
      #2) R. Overton\par
            P.O. BOX 18818\par
            So. Lake Tahoe, CA 96151\par
      #3) Kevin Lee\par
            8377 APT. I MONTGOMERY RUN RD.\par
            ELLICOTT CITY MD 21043\par
      #4) Stephanie Hicks\par
            1283 Evening Canyon.\par
            Henderson NV 89014\par
      #5) Steve Adams\par
            248 Oak St\par
            Zeigler IL 62999\par
      #6) Daniel Medina\par
             216 Colony Lane\par
             Merced CA 95340\par
      STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move\par
      the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR\par
      Name as number 6 on the list.\par
\par
      STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as\par
      close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at\par
      least 200 newsgroups. (I think there are close to 24,000 groups) All\par
      you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you
make!\par
      This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18\par
      Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws.\par
      Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money,\par
      you can use it again, and again.\par
\par
      PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the\par
      honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully\par
      adhering to the directions. Look at it this way. If you are of\par
      integrity, the program will continue and the money that so many\par
      others have received will come your way.\par
\par
      NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you,\par
      either on a computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you.\par
      This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might\par
      be a good idea to wrap the $1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of
mail theft.)\par
\par
      So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed,\par
      six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List\par
      Developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list\par
      geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 position you will\par
      be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What an opportunity for\par
      only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six people listed above) Send\par
      it now, add your own name to the list and you're in business!\par
\par
      ---DIRECTIONS ----- FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS------------\par
      Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own\par
      posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and\par
      drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy'\par
      from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the\par
      computer's memory.\par
\par
      Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top\par
      of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will\par
      paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name\par
      to the list. \par
\par
      Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If\par
      you want to do your postings in different settings, you'll always\par
      have this file to go back to.\par
\par
      Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for\par
      various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites,\par
      discussions.)\par
\par
      Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new\par
      message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste\par
      from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that\par
      everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a\par
      particular group, click the post message button. You're done with\par
      your first one! Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is\par
      jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of\par
      it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! \par
      **REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL
MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A\par
      MINIMUM OF 200** \par
      That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the world within
days! You may eventually want to rent a P.O.Box due to the large amount of mail
you\par
      will receive. If\par
      you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as\par
      the postman will deliver it. \par
      **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.**\par
\par
      Now the WHY part:\par
      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\par
      who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200\par
      postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each\par
      of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each\par
      make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I\par
      will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn\par
      around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5\par
      replies each, I will make an additional $626.00! OK, now here is the\par
      fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with\par
      my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me\par
      $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200\par
      newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200\par
      newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00! With an original\par
      investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the\par
      list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send \par
      out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6\par
      again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is: do you\par
      realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the\par
      internet and reading these articles everyday?, JUST LIKE YOU are\par
      now!! So, can you afford $6.00 and see if it really works?? I think\par
      so... People have said, &quote;what if the plan is played out and no\par
      one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that\par
      happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest\par
      people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are\par
      willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new\par
      users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual\par
      internet. \par
      Remember: play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really\par
      work.\par
