Dear Friend,
Here is yet another opportunity to make some money. Before you
curse and send this message to the recycle bin along with the
multitude of others that are dropped into your in box every day,
please take a moment to glance at the opportunity that presents itself
here. First and foremost, I want you to understand that I am not
spamming you, at least by my own definition of the word. If you have
received this offer, then one of four things have happened:
You have sent me your business opportunity, unsolicited;
I have seen your ad, but already participate in the program
being offered;
I do not participate in your business opportunity, but have
requested information about it; or
I have at least reviewed your business opportunity, but have
chosen not to participate at this time (obviously, I cannot do
everything at once).
So, that being said, I would like you to read the text below, all the
while keeping an open mind. I can tell you that it has worked because
it has worked for me. I have also been in contact with people who
have sent me these offers in the past and they seem to have done well
by this opportunity. Well, if you think that this program can benefit
you, you be the sole judge, then by all means, participate. After
all, you really have nothing to lose but $5 and 1 or 2 hours of your
time.
Before we begin, here are some comments from people who have already
participated in this venture:
I want to share this with you. I am sure, like me, you have tried
many different opportunities at home and most of them don't work, or
they want money we don't have. I figured what's $5 when we have spent
so much more... Marie
Thought you might find this interesting...I decided to try this one
also. What's $5.00 (a couple of banana splits)? I figure what do I
have to lose but a few pounds?... Cheryl
What's your business? Need some fast cash? Try this:
I want to tell you that the only reason I am sending you this is
because earlier this year I tried this program and it worked. Hope
you have much success also. What the heck, the burger meal this $5
would buy
would only turn into fat anyhow.
Cathy
If you are prepared to read on, BE PREPARED TO GET EXCITED...
YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!
Read the following and you will agree this is a very exciting
opportunity. Only invest a little bit of time and your reward could
mean thousands of dollars! Good luck!
"IT'S OUTRAGEOUS!!! With 2 hours of work I have made over
US $11,000.00 in the last 3 weeks... and my investment was just
US $5.00!!! I LOVE IT!
THANK YOU! 11,000 X's!!!"

$$$ ARE YOU IN NEED OF MONEY? RIGHT NOW? $$$ $$$ HOW DOES
US $10,000 IN TWO (2) WEEKS (or less) SOUND? $$$
Don't laugh! Try this for a change while you wait for the others to
start working. One (1) hour of work to get started and NO MAILING
LISTS!

If you need to make a few thousand dollars REALLY FAST, then please
take a moment to read this simple program I am sharing with you. No,
it is NOT what you think! YOU DO NOT have to send $5.00 to five
people to five people to buy a report, buy a recipe, or any other
product. Nor will you need to invest more money later to get things
going. THIS IS THE FASTEST, EASIEST PROGRAM YOU WILL EVER DO!
Complete it in ONE HOUR
and you will never forget the day you first received it. If you are
doing other programs, by all means stay with them, but do this program
as well if you CAN'T WAIT two to three months while your other programs
start to work for you.
This Is How It Works
Unlike many other programs, this three-level program is more realistic
and much, much faster. Because it is so easy, the response rate for
this program is VERY HIGH and VERY FAST, and you will see the results
in two weeks or less! Just in time for next month's bills!
You only mail out 20 copies (not 200 or more as in other programs).
You should also send them to PEOPLE WHO SEND YOU THEIR PROGRAMS
because they know THESE PROGRAMS WORK and they are already believers
in the system! Besides, this program is much, much FASTER and has a
HIGHER RESPONSE RATE.
Even if you are already in a program, STAY WITH IT, but do yourself a
favor and DO THIS ONE as well, START RIGHT NOW! It's simple and takes
a very small investment. It will pay off long before other letters
even begin to trickle in!
Just give ONE person a US $5.00 gift. That's all!
Follow the simple instructions and in TWO WEEKS you will have
US $10,000 in your bank account!!! Because of the LOW INVESTMENT,
SPEED and HIGH PROFIT POTENTIAL, this program has a VERY HIGH RESPONSE
RATE. JUST ONE
(1) US $5.00 BILL. THAT'S YOUR INVESTMENT!
Follow These Simple Instructions
On a blank sheet of paper write "Please add me to your mailing
list". Write your name and address clearly and include your Email
address (if you have one) for future mailings and courtesy follow-ups.
Fold it around a US $5.00 bill and send this to the FIRST name on the
list (#1). Only the FIRST PERSON on the list gets YOUR NAME AND A
FIVE DOLLAR GIFT.
Note: This is a service and is 100% legal (Refer to US Postal &
Lottery Laws, Title 18, Sections 1302 aned 1341 or Title 18, Sections
3005 in the US Code, also in the Code of Federal Regulations, Volume
1, Sections
255 and 436, which state that "a product or service must be exchanged
for money received"). This is also legal in Canada, by the way.
Retype the list ONLY. REMOVING the FIRST (#1) NAME FROM THE LIST.
Move the other two names UP and ADD YOUR NAME to the list in the THIRD
(#3) position.
Send out 20 copies of this letter. Note: By sending this letter
via Email, the response time is much faster and you save the expense
of envelopes, stamps, and copying services.
Consider this: MILLIONS of people "surf the Internet" everyday, all
day, all over the World! FIFTY THOUSAND new people get on the
Internet every month! An excellent source of names is the people who
send you
other programs, and the names listed on the letter they send you.
Your contact source is UNLIMITED. It boggles my mind to think of all
the possibilities!
Mail, or should I say Email, your letter TODAY! It's so easy, ONE
HOUR of your time. THAT'S IT!
To send your newsletter by Email:
1. Go to "Edit" and "Select All"
Go to "Edit" and "Copy"
Start (compose) a new Email message
Address your Email and Subject Blocks
Go to "Edit" and "Paste"
After you have pasted this article in your new Email, delete the old
header and footer (Subject, Date, To, From, Etc..). Now you can edit
the names and addresses with ease. I recommend deleting the top name,
adding your name and address to the bottom of the list, then simply
changing the numbers.
THERE'S NOTHING MORE TO DO. When your name reaches the first position
in a few days, it will be your turn to collect your gifts. The gifts
will be sent to you by 1,500 to 2,000 people like yourself, who are
willing to invest US $5.00 and one hour to receive US $10,000 in cash.
That's all! There will be a total of US $10,000 (or more) in US $5.00
bills in your mailbox in two weeks.
US $10,000 for an hour's work! I think it's WORTH IT, don't you?
GO AHEAD--TRY IT. IT'S US $5.00! EVEN IF YOU JUST MAKE 3 OR 4
THOUSAND. WOULDN'T THAT BE NICE? IF YOU TRY IT, IT WILL PAY!!!
TRUE STORY
Cindy Allen writes: I ran this gift summation four times last year.
The first time I received over $7,000 in cash in less than two weeks
and over $10,000 in cash in the next three times I ran it. I can't
begin to
tell you how great it feels not to have to worry about money anymore!
I thank GOD for the day I received this letter! It has truly changed
my life! Don't be afraid to make gifts to strangers, they'll come
back to you ten-fold. So, let's keep it going and help each other in
these "tough and uncertain times".
Many of us just want to pay off our bills, buy a new car or buy a new
home for our famly. Whatever your reasons or needs are, this program
worked for Cindy and thousands of others (just like you and I) time and
time again! THIS PROGRAM CAN AND WILL WORK FOR YOU!!!
Can I Do It Again?
OF COURSE YOU CAN...This plan is structured for everyone to send only
twenty (20) letters each. However, you are certainly not limited to
twenty. Mail out as many as you can. Every twenty letters you send
has a return to you of US $10,000 or more. If you can mail forty,
sixty, eighty, or whatever. GO FOR IT! THE MORE YOU PUT INTO IT, THE
MORE YOU GET OUT OF IT!
Each time you run through this program, just follow the steps (1)
through (3) and everyone on your gift list benefits! Besides, there
are no mailing list to buy (and wait for), no further trips to the
printer or copiers, and you can do it again and again with your
regular group of gifters, or start up a new group. Some people
produce a mailing list of opportunity seekers and send out 200 or more.
Why not? It beats working! Each time you receive a MLM offer in the
mail, respond with THIS letter! Your name will climb to the number one
position at dizzying geometric rates.
Follow the simple instructions and above all, please "PLAY FAIR."
That's the key to this program's success. Your name must run the
"full gamut" on the list to produce the end results. "Sneaking" your
name higher up on the list WILL NOT produce the results you think, and
it only cheats the other people who have worked hard and earned the
rights to be there. So please, play by the rules and the $$,$$$ will
come to you!!!
---------------Mail Your Letters Out Today-----------
$$$ TOGETHER WE WILL PROSPER $$$
Mail your US $5.00 "Gift" to the first name on the list ONLY. Remove

GOOD LUCK!!!

Wishing you the best in all you do! You probably don't believe this
will work, but if you don't try it you will never know. That's the
way I felt. Try it. You won't be sorry.
Cheryl
I also felt that way, but I am going to try it. If I can send $5 and
get back $500, I'll be happy. Good luck!
Marie Benoit.
I've done this before, and it works, especially once you get a good
group of people who are willing to do this on a regular basis
(remember, the more people who respond to your first mailing, the more
likely it is
that a lot of money will come in). So, try it out, and please do not
hesitate to e-mail me at <coryg2000@bigfoot.com> if you have any
concerns about the legality of this "business" or if you have any
other questions. Again, you have nothing to lose, and if you can get
over your skepticism and try this out, everybody wins, including you.
