: A VERY SIMPLE WAY TO GET RICH$$$$

: *********AS SEEN ON OPRAH*********

: Dear Friends: Greetings: I am a retired
: attorney. A few years ago a man
: came to me with a letter. He asked me to verify
: the fact that this was
: legal to do. I told him 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. A
: week and a half later we met in my
: office to discuss the issue. I told him the
: letter he originally brought

: me
: was not 100% legal. My client then asked me to
: alter it to make it
: perfectly legal. I asked him to make one small
: change in the letter. I

: was still curious about the letter, so he
: explained to me how it works. I
: thought it seemed like a long shot, so I
: decided against participating.
: But before my client left, I asked him to keep
: me updated on 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 asked me to try this

: idea and find out for myself. I thought about
: it for a couple of days and
: decided I really didn't have anything to lose,
: so I asked him for a
: copy of the letters. I followed the
: instructions exactly, mailed 200
: copies, and sure enough, the money started
: coming in! It arrived slowly

: at first but coming in nonetheless. I kept a
: precise record of the
: earnings, and in the end, it totaled $978,493!

: I could hardly believe it. I met with my friend
: for lunch to find out
: exactly how it worked. He told me there are
: quite a few similar letters
: around, but this one is different because there
: are six names at the
: end of the letter, not five like some others.
: This fact alone results in
: your name being in far more returns. The other
: fact was the help I gave
: him, making sure the whole thing was legal,
: since no one wants to take
: the risk of doing something illegal.

: By now you are surely curious to know what
: small changes to make. If
: you sent a letter like this one out, in order
: to be completely legal, you
: must actually sell something in order to
: receive a dollar in return. So
: when you send a dollar to each of the names on
: the list, you must
: include these words, "PLEASE PUT ME ON
: YOUR MAILING LIST" and include

: your name and address. This is the key to the
: program. The item you will
: receive for the dollar you sent to the six
: people below is the letter.

: At the time I first tried this idea, I was
: earning a good living as a
: lawyer. But everyone in the legal profession
: will tell you there is a
: lot of stress that comes with the job. I told
: myself if things worked
: out, I would retire from my practice and play
: golf. I decided to try the
: letter again, but this time I sent 500 copies.
: Three months later, I had
: totaled $2,341,178!

: Here are a few reasons a person might give for
: not trying this program: Some people think
: they can never make a lot of money with
: anything
: this simple.
: Some are afraid they will be ridiculed for
: trying
: Some dream of large sums of money, but do
: nothing to actually
: achieve it.
: Some are just plain lazy.
: Some are afraid of losing their investment.
: They think this program
: is designed to beat them out of a few dollars.

: The system works if you will just try it. But
: you must follow the
: simple instructions EXACTLY, and in less than
: three months, you will

: receive
: $800,000 GUARANTEED! Keep what you are doing to
: yourself for awhile.
: Many will tell you it won't work and will try
: to talk you out of your
: dreams. Let them know of your success after it
: works.

: LETTERS FROM PARTICIPANTS IN THIS PROGRAM: My
: name is David Rhodes. In 1992 my car was
: repossessed and bill
: collectors were housing me. I was laid off and
: my unemployment ran out.

: In October of 1992, I received a letter telling
: me how to earn $800,000
: anytime I wanted. Of course, I was skeptical.
: But because I was so
: desperate and virtually had nothing to lose, I
: gave it a try. In January

: 1993, my family and I went on a 10-day cruise.
: The next month I bought a
: brand new Mercedes with cash! I am currently
: building a home in Virginia
: and I will never have to work again. This money
: program really works
: perfectly every time. I have never failed to
: receive less than $500,000.
: This is a legitimate, money-making opportunity.
: It does not require you
: to sell anything or to come in contact with
: people. And, best of all,
: you only leave the house to mail the letters.
: If you have always believed
: that someday you would get the lucky break,
: then simply follow the
: instructions and make dreams come true.

: Larry McMahon, Norfolk, VA Six months ago, I
: received this letter and
: ignored it. Five more came within a period of
: time and I ignored them
: also. I was tempted, but I was convinced that
: they were just a Hoax.
: After three weeks of deliberating, I decided to
: give it a try (not
: expecting much). Two weeks went by and nothing
: happened. The fourth week

: was
: unbelievable! I can't say I received $800,000
: but I received $400,000.
: For the first time in years, I am debt free. I
: am doing this again, only
: this time starting with 500 posts. I strongly
: recommend that you follow
: the instructions exactly as outlined in this
: letter.

: INSTRUCTIONS: Immediately send $1.00 to each of
: the six people on the list at the
: end of this letter. Wrap the dollar bill in a
: note saying "Please add
: me to your mailing list" and include your
: name and address.
: Copy this letter. You do not have to type it
: 200 times. Simply place
: your cursor at the top of the page, hold it and
: drag it all the way
: down to the end of the letter. Then click on
: "edit" and select
: "copy".

: Now
: open up a notepad file on your computer and put
: the cursor at the top
: of the page in the notepad, click on 'edit' and
: then select 'paste' it
: will copy the letter for you onto your
: computer.

: Remove the name next to the #1 on the list and
: move the rest of the
: names up one position (#2 becomes #1, #3
: becomes #2, etc.....) Then
: place your name in the #6 position. Then save
: it, make sure it is saved

: as
: a txt. file. This is very a very important
: step!
: When you have completed the instructions, take
: this letter and then
: go to (Google,Yahoo,Craigslist...) and type in
: (Money Making

: Message-board, or
: POST MESSAGE(THIS IS MUCH EASIER AND
: FASTER),...) and start posting your

: copy to 200 message boards, or
: more this is only the minimum, you can post as
: much as you like...The
: more copies you send the better the results.
: Keep a copy of this letter
: so you can use it a second time. Post it out
: again in six months, but
: Post it with the addresses you receive with
: each dollar. It will work
: better the second time. NOTE: This service is
: 100% legal - (Refer to

: title
: 18 section 1302 of the U.S. Postal &
: lottery laws)

: How does it work? When you send out 200 Posts,
: it is estimated that at
: least 15 people will respond and send you a
: $1.00. ($15.00) Those 15
: will Post 200 Posts each and 225 people send
: you $1.00 ($225.00) Those
: 225 people Post 200 Posts each and 3,375 people
: send you $1.00
: ($3,375.00) Those 3,375 people will post 200
: posts each and 50,625 people

: send you $1.00
: ($50,625.00) Those 50,625 people will post 200
: posts each and 759,375

: people send you $1.00 ($759,375.00) At this
: point your name drops off the

: list, but
: so far you have received $813,615.00. P.S. When
: your money begins to
: come in, give the first 10% to charity with
: spirit and share a good
: fortune!

: This really, really, works! I tried it once and
: I'm doing it again,
: first to be honest I only posted 145 posts and
: I didn't receive a lot
: only $6,689.00 in 3 months, at least this means
: that it really works, so
: this time I'm posting 604 posts and I've got so
: far in 2 months
: $15,640.00 this is really like a dream come
: true. So go on and try it
: trust me you've got nothing to lose....

: Important tip - Cover money by paper fully by
: which it can not been
: seen in light, because postal employees do some
: cheat some times....ok.

: THIS IS YOUR CHANCE. THE PLAN IS SO SIMPLE,
: IT'S ELEGANT. DO NOT
: DELAY. START RIGHT NOW! YOUR RISK IS ABOUT $6
: AS I SEE IT. THIS IS A
: LEGIMATE BUSINESS VENTURE THAT RESULTS IN
: TAXABLE INCOME. BE SURE TO
: FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS TO THE LETTER IF YOU
: ARE COMFORTABLE WITH

: BECOMING
: WEALTHY! GOOD LUCK.
