EASY MONEY, I WAS A BIG SKEPTIC TOO! From: "HighNiNes" <mike.tumbleson@dragonbbs.com> Date: Wed, 25 Jun 1997 00:00:00 +0000 HE FOLLOWING LETTER I RECEIVED FROM A RETIRED ATTORNEY WHICH IS MY KEY TO FINANCIAL SUCCESS; LET IT BE YOURS TOO!!! Dear Friend, I am a retired Attorney, and about two years ago a man came to me with a letter. The letter brought me is basically the letter in your hands. He asked me to verify the fact that this letter was legal. I told him that I would review it and get back to him. When I first read the letter my new client brought me I thought it was some off-the-wall idea to make money. However, a week and-a-half later we met in my office to discuss the issue. I told him the letter he originally brought to me was not 100% legal. I suggested a few changes with which the letter would be 100% legal. I was curious about this letter, and my client told me how this plan works and suggested that I give it a try. I thought it was a long shot and would be a waste of time, so I decided against participating. However, before my client left, I asked him to keep me updated of his results. About two months later he called me to tell me he had received over $800,000 in cash!! I didn't believe him, so he suggested that I try this idea and find out for myself. I thought about it for a couple of days and decided that I didn't really have anything to lose, so I asked my client for a copy of the letter. I followed the instructions exactly, sent out 200 copies, and sure enough, the money started arriving! It came slowly at first, but after 3 weeks, I was getting more mail than I could open in a day! The money stopped coming after about three months. I kept a precise record of my earnings, and they totaled $968,498.00!! I was earning a good living as a lawyer, but anyone in the legal profession, or even anyone who owns their own business will tell you, there is a lot of stress that comes with the job. I told myself that if things worked out, I would retire from my job and travel. I decided to try the letter again, but this time I sent out 500 letters. Well, three months later, my earnings totaled $2,344,178.00!!! I just could not believe it. I met with my former client (and now my friend) for lunch to find out how it worked. He told me there are quite a few similar letters going around. What made THIS ONE DIFFERENT WAS THE FACT THAT 6 ADDRESSES APPEAR ON THE LIST, AND NOT 5 LIKE MOST OF THE OTHERS. This fact alone results in your name being on far more returns. Of course I was thankful that he had shown this plan to me, but he was just as thankful that I had suggested the changes to ensure that this plan was legal since most people don't want to risk doing something illegal. I'll bet that by now you are curious to know the little change I suggested in my friend's original letter. Well, if you sent a letter like this out, to be legal you must actually sell a product or service if you expect to receive a dollar. I told my friend that anyone sending a dollar back to him must receive something in return. You have received this letter due to the participation of each of the 6 persons given below. This letter and the plan given within this letter are a "product" that you have received. Thus, you will be sending $1.00 USD to each of the 6 persons given below in exchange for receiving this letter and for asking them to provide the "service" of adding you on their mailing list. THIS IS A SERVICE AND IS A 100% LEGAL BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY WHICH IS COVERED IN TITLE 18, SECTION 1302 AND 1342 OF THE POSTAL AND LOTTERY LAWS. NOW, PLEASE FOLLOW THESE TRIED AND TRUE STEPS TO OBTAIN THE AMOUNT YOU DESIRE: Immediately send a $1 US dollar bill to each of the 6 people on the list below. Wrap this dollar in a note with the words: "Please put me on your mailing list." (Remember, in this way, you're not just sending a dollar to someone; you're paying for a legitimate service.) Include your address. You do not need to include your name if you don't want to. This is the key to the program! Make sure that you retain EVERY name and/or address sent to you, either on computer or hard copy, but do not discard the names and notes that people send to you. This is PROOF that you are truly providing a service, and should the IRS or some other government agency question you, you can provide them with this proof! Therefore, you will start a list of all the people who send you a dollar requesting to be added on a mailing list. Actually, you will want to safeguard this list because it can generate even better responses and much more money later! See step #4 below. Remove the #1 name on the list, and move the rest of the names up one position. Then place your name in the #6 spot. Thus, #6 becomes #5, #4 becomes #3, etc., and YOU will be #6 on the list. DO NOT EDIT THIS LETTER ANYMORE BEYOND THIS POINT. If you are mailing this letter, you may edit the reference to the Internet. Post this letter in at least 250 newsgroups, I do 30 groups per post. You can simply copy the contents of this letter and post it to the newsgroups of your choice. (If you're not sure how, see my directions at the bottom.) IMPORTANT NOTE: Please pay attention to the newsgroups in which you post. If there is an abundance of similar letters, you may want to seek another newsgroup. Thus, pay respect to the harmony of the newsgroup and use common sense. There are plenty of newsgroups on the Internet. (I think there are close to 18,000 of them.) ALSO, PLEASE POST IN APPROPRIATE GROUPS AND SPREAD YOUR POSTINGS OVER MANY DIFFERENT LOCAL & INTERNATIONAL AREAS (SPREAD THE WORD) ! Keep a copy of this letter so you can use it more than once. Also keep EACH AND EVERY NAME AND ADDRESS SENT TO YOU as instructed in #1. Then, send out more copies in about 6 months, but mail it to the addresses you received (your new mailing list) with each dollar! It will work again, only much better! Here are the addresses that you must send a dollar to with your slip of paper requesting placement on their mailing list, as instructed above: 1. Hinda Ann Kolansky 49-35 167 St Flusing, NY 11365 USA 2. Liberty 22647 Ventura Blvd, #1005 Woodland Hills, CA 91364 USA 3. Luther 408 Crowe Euless, TX 76040 USA 4. C. Adams 3408 W. Lincoln Yakima, WA 98902 USA 5. D. Black 306 Huron Ave Sheboygan, WI 53081 USA 6. M. Tumbleson 906 S. Nelson Ave #15 Wilmington, OH 45177 USA -!NOTE!- YOU PAY $6 TOTAL ONE TIME ONLY! -!NOTE!- ************************************************************************* * D I R E C T I O N S * * How to Re-Post * ************************************************************************* If you don't know your news server's DNS, you can try netnews.mis.net, or any other free public news servers. OK. This is how I did it (Windows95/PC). Do not re-type this email (as this post previously instructed). First, open up an empty Notepad file. (In Windows it should be under the Accessories menu, or just right-click, New -> Text Document) Then, put your cursor at the beginning of this document, hold the left mouse button down, drag it to the bottom and release. Now hold the Control key down and press 'C' (CTRL-C), or, just right-click, Copy. This will copy the highlighted text to the clipboard. Now get back to your notepad file (in Windows95 it's down on your taskbar), put the cursor on the top of the notepad file, then hold the control key down and press 'V' (CTRL-V), or, right-click, Paste. This will copy the contents of the clipboard into your notepad file. Now you can edit the file. Don't forget to remove name #1, put your name in at #6 and re-number accordingly. Save this file (as a .txt file.) If you want to break up your sessions of posting you'll always have this file to go back to. FOR NETSCAPE USERS: 1) Click on any newsgroup. From a newsgroup, click on the 'TO NEWS' button, which should be in the top left corner of the newsgroups page. This will bring up a message box. 2) Fill in the Subject. Be creative, something catchy. 3) Highlight the entire contents of your .txt file, do a CTRL-C to copy the document, get back to the e-mail you are posting to the newsgroup and press CTRL-V to copy your file into the body of the e-mail. 4) Hit the 'SEND' button in the upper left corner. You're done with your first one! 5) Go to another newsgroup, press 'TO NEWS' button, type in the Subject line, press CTRL-V, press 'SEND'. That's two! Repeat as needed... INTERNET EXPLORER USERS: (Directions are pretty much the same, except for the names of the buttons.) 1) Go to Newsgroups and press 'POST AN ARTICLE'. 2) Fill in the Subject. Be creative, something catchy. 3) Hit the 'POST' button in the upper left corner. You're done with your first one! You can post up to 30 newsgroups at one time by selecting one newsgroup, scrolling down, then selecting another while holding the shift key. ************************************************************************* * E N D O F D I R E C T I O N S * ************************************************************************* The Internet has proved to be a very quick and effective means to reach millions of people with your message.
