Dear Friend, Greetings! I am a retired Attorney, and about two years ago a man came to me with a letter. The letter he 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 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 brouht 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 wast 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 send 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 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 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: 1) Immediately send a $1 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. This is the key to the program! Also, let each person know what number they are in the letter so he/she knows which cycle he is receiving the $1.00 from. 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 I.R.S. 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. 2) Remove the name next to the #1 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. When you are mailing this letter, you may edit the references to the internet. 3) Post this letter in at least 250 newsgroups, I do 5 groups per post. You can simply copy the contents of this letter and past it to the newsgroups of your choice. 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, pat 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)! For added success, you can also mail this letter as well, in addition to posting in newsgroups. Order 200 (or more) names from a mailing list company. Two that have been most effective for these names are: S.E. Mailing List Advon Distributors P.O. Box 15061 P.O. Box B-11 Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33318S Helly, ID 83274 (954) 742-9519 (800) 992-3866 4. Keep a copy of this letter so you can use it a second time. 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 receive (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. Ron van Hoof 14 Moshier St. Greenwich, CT 06831 USA 2. Richard Blanchette Pob 455 Palisade, Colorado 81520 USA 3. Caroline Mowinckel Molnar Utca 21 2 Em Nr-10 H-1056 Budapest Hungary 4. Peter Kjoge Camino de la Condesa 9, 5-A E-29640 Fuengirola Spain 5. Odd Hilsen Avda Espana 93 Sitio de Calahonda Mijas Costa - Malaga Spain ***THIS PLAN WILL NOT WORK UNLESS YOU SEND $1.00 TO EACH OF THE ABOVE PERSONS AS DIRECTED. How do the numbers work for potential income earnings? Assume for the sake of example that you get a 7.5% return rate. This is a very conservative, my first attempt was about 9.5%, and my second was over 11%. 1. You send out 250 letters, and 18 people (250 x 7.5% = 18) will send $1 each. $18.00 2. Those 18 send out 250 letters each, and 337 people (18 x 250 4,500x 7.5% = 337), send you $1 each. $337.00 3. Those 337 send out 250 letters each (337 x 250 = 84,250 x 7.5% 6,318), and 6,318 people send you $1 each. $6,318 4. Those 6,318 send out 250 letters each (6,318 x 250 = 1,579,500 x 7.5% = 118,462), and 118,462 people send you $1 each. $118,462.00 5. Those 118,462 send out 250 letters each (118,462 x 250 = 29,615,500 x 7.5% = 2,221,162), and 2,221,162 people send you $1 each. $2,221,162.00 ADD 1-5 AND TOTAL AT $2,346,297.50 ALL THIS IS AT A 7.5% RETURN ON YOUR LETTERS. THAT'S 18 REPLIES ON YOUR ORIGINAL 250 POSTINGS. Some valuable, general suggestions: 1. DO NOT TRY AND CHEAT THIS PROCESS. IF YOU DO, YOU WILL NOT ACHIEVE THE DISIRED RESULTS. 2. The Internet is a very effective medium for exposing this vehicle. However, pay attention to newsgroups, and avoid posting this letter in the newsgroups where there are a lot of upset epeople complaining about "spamming." In other words, we are asking that you use common sense, and have courtesy to others on the Internet. This may be opposite of what many other similar postings may be saying. Keep in mind that there are plenty of people out there who believe and want this as much as you do. 3. Keep a positive frame of mind while engaging in this process, and you will receive the amount of money you desire. 4. In order to achieve maximum results DO NOT CHANGE THE CONTENTS OF THIS LETTER. However, you may edit applicable portions relating to Internet when sending this letter via regular mail. 5. When the money begins to arrive, it is a good gesture to give 10% or more to your church or favorite charity with a joyful spirit. The Internet has proved to be a very quick and effective means to reach millions of people with your message. This message exemplifies a UNIVERSAL LAW OF ABUNDANCE that there is plenty to go around for everyone. You will not be hurting anyone and will be creating the opportunity for those who read your message to benefit--just as you will--from the abundance that exists in this universe.
