AS SEEN ON TV ,15 YEAR OLD MADE $71,000



Does this headline look familiar? Of course it does.
You most likely have just seen this story recently
featured on a major nightly news program (USA).
And reported elsewhere in the world.

THANKS TO THE COMPUTER AGE AND THE INTERNET!

==================================================

You will Make 
over half million dollars every 4 to 5 months
from your home!!
Before you say "Bull", please read the following. 

His mother was cleaning
and putting laundry away when she came across a large
brown paper bag that was suspiciously buried beneath
some clothes and a skateboard in the back of her 15-year-old sons closet.
Nothing could have prepared her for the shock she got
when she opened the bag and found it was full of 

cash !!

Five-dollar bills, twenties, fifties and hundreds -
all neatly rubber-banded in labeled piles.

"My first thought was that he had robbed a bank",says the 41-year-old woman, 

"There was over $71,000dollars in that bag 

-- that's more than my husband
earns in a year".

The woman immediately called her husband at the
car-dealership where he worked to tell him what she
had discovered. He came home right away and they
drove together to the boys school and picked him up.
Little did they suspect that where the money came from
was more shocking than actually finding it in
the closet.

As it turns out, the boy had been sending out, 

via E-mail, a type of "Report" 

to E-mail addresses that he
obtained off the Internet. Everyday after school for
the past 2 months, he had been doing this right on his
computer in his bedroom.

"I just got the E-mail one day and I figured what the
heck, I put my name on it like the instructions said
and I started sending it out", says the clever
15-year-old.

The E-mail letter listed 5 addresses and contained
instructions to send one $5 dollar bill to each person
on the list, then delete the address at the top and
move the others addresses down, and finally to add
your name to the top of the list.

The letter goes on to state that you would receive
several thousand dollars in five-dollar bills within 2
weeks if you sent out the letter with your
name at the top of the 5-address list. 

"I get junk E-mail all the time, and really did not think it was
going to work", the boy continues.

Within the first few days of sending out the E-mail,


the Post Office Box that his parents had gotten him
for his video-game magazine subscriptions began to
fill up with not magazines, but envelopes containing
$5 bills.

"About a week later I rode [my bike] down to the post
office and my box had 1 magazine and about 300
envelops stuffed in it. There was also a yellow slip
that said I had to go up to the [post office] counter.
 

I thought I was in trouble or something (laughs)". He
goes on, "I went up to the counter and they had a
whole box of more mail for me. I had to ride back
home and empty out my backpack because I could not
carry it all".

Over the next few weeks, the boy continued sending
out the E-mail. "The money just kept coming in 

and I just kept sorting it and stashing it in the closet,
barely had time for my homework". He had also
been riding his bike to several of the banks in his
area and exchanging the $5 bills for twenties, fifties
and hundreds.

"I didn't want the banks to get suspicious so I kept
riding to different banks with like five thousand at a
time in my backpack. I would usually tell the lady at
the bank counter that my dad had sent me in to
exchange the money and he was outside waiting for me.
One time the lady gave me a really strange look and
told me that she would not be able to do it for me and
my dad would have to come in and do it, but I just
rode to the next bank down the street (laughs)."

Surprisingly, the boy did not have any reason to be
afraid. The reporting news team examined and
investigated the so-called "chain-letter" the boy was
sending out and found that it was not a chain-letter
at all. 

In fact, it was completely legal according to
US Postal and Lottery Laws, Title 18, Section 1302 and
1341, or Title 18, Section 3005 in the US code, also
in the code of federal regulations, Volume 16,
Sections 255 and 436, which state 

a product or service
must be exchanged for money received.

Every five-dollar bill that he received contained a
little note that read, "Please send me report number
XYX".This simple note made the letter legal because he
was exchanging a service (A Report on how-to) for a
five-dollar fee.

[This is the end of the media release. If you would
like to understand how the system works and get your
$71,000 - please continue reading. What appears below
is what the 15 year old was sending out on the net -
YOU CAN USE IT TOO - just follow the simple instructions].
