: Gary L. Phillips,

:
: READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE! I found this on a bulletin
: board and decided to try it. A little while back, I was browsing through
: newsgroups 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 addresses stated in the article. You then
: place your 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?" 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. I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you will
: start making more money that you thought possible by doing something
: so easy! Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (print it out or
: download it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come in!
: It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (plus postage).
: IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not illegal; and it
: is virtually no risk - it really works!! ! If all of the following instructions are
: adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends. PLEASE NOTE:
: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be
: yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of the
: honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its success by
: carefully adhering to the instructions. You will now become part of the Mail
: Order business. In this business your product is not solid and tangible, it's
: a service. You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large
: corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the
: money made from the mailing lists is secondary to the income which is
: made from people like you and me asking to be included in that list. Here
: are the 4 easy steps to success: 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. This is
: absolutely legal? You are requesting a legitimate service and you are
: paying for it! 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! Mail the
: 6 envelopes to the following addresses: 1.)Joseph Cammarata 3835
: Richmond Ave. # 188 Staten Island, NY 10312. USA 2.)Phillip Allen 3813
: Sterling Pt. Dr. Unit V-6 Winterville, NC 28590, USA 3.) J. Barnes, 16062
: Lexington Dr., Painfield, Il. 60544, USA 4.) M. Treat, 617 Carpenter,
: Jacksonville, AR. 72076, USA 5.)S. Fogarty, 12 Vale View Lawn, The
: Park, Cabinteely, Dublin 18, Ireland 6.)Gary L. Phillips,5107 Thornspring
: Rd., Pulaski, Va 24301, 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 the 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! This is perfectly legal! If you have
: any doubts, refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1241 of the Postal lottery laws.
: Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money,
: you can use it again, and again. PLEASE REMEMBER that this program
: remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the
: participants and by their carefully adhering to the directions. Look at it this
: way, if you are of integrity, the program will continue and the money that
: so many others have received will come your way, too. NOTE: You may
: want to retain every name and address sent to you, either on a computer
: or hard copy and keep the notes people send you. This VERIFIES that
: you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might be a good idea to wrap the
: $1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail theft.) So, as each post is
: downloaded and the directions carefully followed, six members will be
: reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer with one dollar each.
: Your name will move up the list geometrically so that when your name
: reached the #1 position you will be receiving thousands of dollars in
: CASH!!! What an opportunity for only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six
: people listed above). Send it now, add your own name to the list and
: you're in business! --- DIRECTIONS---- FOR HOW TO POST TO
: NEWSGROUPS------------------ STEP 1: You do not need to re-type letter to
: 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 computer's 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 bottom of the
: list and to change the numbers of 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 search 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 is it! All you have to do is jump
: to different newsgroups 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 is it!
: You will begin receiving money form around the world within days! You
: may eventually want 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, this is an additional $25.00 for
: me. Now those 25 each make 200 MININUM posts with my name at #4
: and only 5 replies each. This brings in an additional $125.00. Now, those
: 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3
: and receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $625.00. Ok, now
: here is the fun part, each of those 625 people post a MINIMUM 200 letters
: with my name at #2 and they receive 5 replies each. 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 react, I will
: receive an additional $15,625.00!! With an 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 remeber 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? Anyway, it is only $6.00 for a chance at thousands. 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
: really work. You wouldn't want someone to cheat you the same way you
: may be cheating!
: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
: Thank You for your interest and I wish you the best of luck in the future
: with your investment.

: Greatfully,
