Dear Friend,





You probably have seen these, but they really really do work, give it a try -- think of how you waste $6 in a day, week or month. It's a minor investment with great rewards. This might really help you pay off those credit cards and give you the ability to move out.





If you could start your own mail order list with an investment of


$6.00, and make $800,000 over the next


year would you do it?

***Oprah Winfrey and ABC's investigation team 20/20 also prove it can be done.***





IF A 15 YEAR OLD BOY COULD MAKE $71,000 IN JUST 5 WEEKS AND OTHERS $250,000 IN A FEW MORE WEEKS -- SO CAN YOU !!!





Would you like to make $71,000 OR $250,000 in a few weeks?


As seen on the Oprah Winfrey show and ABC's 20/20





======================================...





The true story that has everyone talking:


Parents of a 15yr old boy find $71,000 in his closet:





You may have seen this story featured on a number of major news programs (United States), and reported elsewhere around the world.


His mother was doing some cleaning and putting some laundry away when she discovered 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 that it was full of dollar bills -- $71,000 to be precise!!





"My first thought was that he had robbed a bank", says the 41-year-old woman, "There was over $71,000 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 together they drove to the boys school and picked him up.


Little did they suspect that where the bills were coming from was going to be a bigger surprise than actually finding them in the closet.





As it turns out, the boy had been sending out, via E-mail, a type of "Report" to other E-mail addresses that he obtained off the Internet.


Everyday after school for the past 2 months, he had been doing this on his computer in his bedroom.





"I just got an 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 15-year-old.





The E-mail letter he received had 5 names and addresses listed on it and contained instructions on how to send one $5 dollar bill to each person on the list.


Then delete the name and address at the bottom of the list (Report # 5) and move the other 4 names and addresses down one step,


finally adding your own name and address to the top of the list (Report # 1).





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 and address 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


not with magazines, but envelopes containing $5 bills.





"About a week later I rode my bike down to the post office and my


Post Office Box had 1 magazine and about 300 envelopes stuffed in it."





Over the next few weeks, the boy continued sending out the E-mail.





"The five dollar bills just kept coming in and I just kept sorting them and stashing them in the closet,


I 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 bills 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 lawful according to United States Postal and Lottery Laws


which state; a product or service must be exchanged for funds received.





Every five-dollar bill that he received contained a little note that read, "Please send me report number xyz".


This simple note made the letter lawful because he was exchanging a service (A Report on how-to do something) for a five-dollar fee.





It's true. The boy legitimately earned $71,000.


You should print this, read it and read it again and again if necessary.


Then follow the simple instructions. You too could make $71,000 and much much more.





This program has gained such respectability and it is working so well, that many people are now entering the program for a second and third time.





Some are reporting they are earning enough money to give up their jobs and they are spending just a few hours a day sending out e-mails.





======================================...





INSTRUCTIONS ON WHAT TO DO:


Some people will perceive this as an "off the wall" idea to make


money, but others will look at it as a great

opportunity you will find to start your own


business because you use Paypal, the most trusted banking system on


the internet. Not only is this an


opportunity to gain financial freedom, but you will help others do

This program is by no means new.





It has been in existence in many forms for at least a decade.








I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it:





Make Money with your Paypal account as shown on Oprah!

illegal; and it is virtually no risk-it really works! If


all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive


extraordinary dividends.





AGAIN, PLEASE NOTE:





Follow these directions EXACTLY, and $20,000 or more can be yours in


4 to 6 weeks.





This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity


of the participants.





Please continue its success by carefully adhering to the


instructions.





A FEW LEGAL TIPS:








You are starting a Mailing List











File your responses alphabetically everyday. If you have a computer,


all the better, if not get one


with your first mail responses.











You will soon compile an extensive mailing list. It can be very


useful in your business, to start a new


business, or for other businesses to acquire information from you.











When you send out these letters, you are in the mail order business.


People are sending you $1.00


to be put on your mailing list. This is a legal helpful service.


Once again see Title,





section 1302 and 1341 of the US Postal and lottery laws.








Here are the 4 easy steps to success:








STEP 1:





Take a few minutes to join Paypal: Remember to verify your account.





www.paypal.com/us/mrb/pal=3DC2RREFZTEZ...





The Internet's most trusted Internet banking system for your future


income.





When creating your Paypal account make email address you used for


Paypal on the list below so people


can send money to your account.





STEP 2:





Once you have a Paypal account running, use Paypal to post $1 to


EACH of the 6 Email Addresses below


because you pay people with an email address in Paypal. Select "SEND


MONEY".





To do this you may need to use a credit or debit card, which is very


easy, and secure so nobody but


Paypal may see it.





What you are doing is creating a service. This is absolutely legal!


You are requesting a legitimate service


and you are paying for it!





Here are the 6 individual Email addresses that you have to send $1


to through Paypal for this to work


properly and for you to receive money.





(If you don't send the money and decide to post the message with


your name in it anyway, Paypal will


instantly pick this up and terminate your account, immediately,


besides the other penalties!!)





If you did this you could get into serious trouble because it is


fraud. (So follow the instructions and post the


$6 and you will make lots of money with no hassles.)





Now Send $1.00 to each of the six people on the list using Paypal, and


in the comment (Subject) section type "Please add me to your list".


Below are the emails that you transfer the money into:





These email addresses are Paypal IDs or usernames.


Send 1 Dollar to:





1.) varaso@yahoo.com


2.) kennpatterson@bellsouth.net


3.) jeynchris@yahoo.com


4.) mingus39@hotmail.com


5.) tylersdad61907@yahoo.com


6) thanch85@newpaltz.edu





STEP 3:





Now after sending $1.00 to each of the email placements above, take


the #1 Email Address off the list,


move the other Email Addresses up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc.)


and add Your Email Address as


number 6 on the list.





STEP 4:





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 news groups (there


are thousands of groups).





And email your message to as many people you can. Remember, the more


you post and email the more


money you make! This is perfectly legal!





You are getting paid for a service, the sender of the money asks you to “Please add me to your list”, Therefore it is legal. Remember to send a dollar to the above names or this is considered illegal.





=95 If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 and 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





This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity


of the participants and by their


carefully adhering to the directions.





You are simply paying into a money making chain of participants and


if the chain is broken you are


screwing someone else out of their fair share.





So, as each person who joins the family and the directions are


followed, six members will be reimbursed for


their participation as a Mailing List Developer with one dollar


each.





You then insert your Email Address into the list and it will move up


geometrically.





So that when your name reaches the #1 position you will have


potentially received thousands of dollars


into your account!!!





What an opportunity for only a total of $6.00! $1 for each of the


first six people listed above.





To begin with, please send you're $1.00 to each email address listed


above then add your own Email


Address to the list and you're in business!








HOW TO POST TO NEWS GROUPS:





Use the internet and searching for various news groups, ad posting


websites, on-line forums, message


boards, chat sites, discussions.








Log on any search engine like yahoo.com, google.com, altavista.com,





excite.com, etc., then search with the subject "money making message


board" or "classified ads"





You will find thousands and thousands of message boards and


companies like Adblaster.com, InetGiant.


com, LiveDeal.com, Adsubmitter.com etc=85








Click on them one by one and you will find the option ''post a new


message''. Then Post this article


as a ''new message'' by highlighting the text of this letter and


selecting copy then 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 can also read other peoples ads for business opportunities and


respond to their email


address with this business opportunity.





You're done with your first one! It only takes about 60 seconds to


complete postings on message boards


after you catch on.





REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWS GROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL


MAKE!!





But you have to post a minimum of 200!





How does it work?





When you post 200 letters, it is estimated that at least 15 people


will respond and send you $1 ($15).


Those 15 will post 200 letters each and 225 will send $1 ($225).


Those 225 will post 200 letters each and


3,375 people will send you $1 ($3,375). Those 3,375 people will post


200 letters each and 50,625 people


will send you $1 (50,625). Those 50,625 will post 200 letters each


and 749,375 people will send you $1


(749,375). At this point your name drops off the list, but so far,


you have received $813,615.00.








That is it. You will begin receiving money in your account from


around the world within days!








JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.








With an investment of only $6.00!!





A - M - A - Z - I - N - G - !!





When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest


posting in the news groups, and send out


another $6.00 to Email Addresses using Paypal on the list, putting


your name at number 6 again.





And start posting again.














Copy and paste this letter to use for yourself.
