- Two things you need to know up front:
-
- 1. You CAN NOT make $50,000 in a month or even six months by
- following the instructions found in this letter, or similar
- ones found on the net.
-
- 2. You CAN make $1,500 to $2,000 or more within a couple of
- months, with which you can buy a new computer, pay some bills,
- or go away on vacation.
-
- These are the facts. I have tried this twice before, following
- instructions found in letters downloaded from internet newsgroups.
- You've seen them, I'm sure. The first thing they promise is a
- quick way to earn $50,000 or more, with no work and only $5
- invested. You have probably considered trying it yourself, then
- told yourself that it wasn't worth the effort, and it couldn't
- possibly be true. Fact is, it isn't true. BUT IT IS WORTH TRYING!
- Think for a moment ... your total expense for the program is $6.60
- (five dollar bills and five postage stamps), plus whatever it costs
- for your internet connect time to post a letter like this one to
- several newsgroups. With most internet plans today, at least part
- of that access time is free, anyway, and chances are there are no
- toll charges involved when you connect to the 'net. Basically,
- you spend less than ten dollars to get started, and then your work
- is pretty well done. Even if you don't get a single response,
- you are only out $10 and maybe an hour or two of your time.
-
- But you WILL GET A RESPONSE! As I have mentioned, I have tried
- this twice before, and I have made some money. I haven't worked
- out the exact math pertaining to my own successes yet, but look at
- these estimated figures:
-
- Post the letter to five different (but interesting) newsgroups.
- Use your judgement to decide which ones might be the most
- responsive. For example, a group with only five items posted is
- probably not often visited. Assume that the newsgroups you
- posted the item to will be visited 50 times a day, or 1,500
- times a month (this is a low estimate -- there are millions of
- web surfers with newsgroup access, but they won't all be
- surfing the same sites). This means that 7,500 people might
- read your message. Of course, 80% of those might dismiss your
- message as worthless. But that leaves 1,500 people who might
- try it. They will send out letters just like yours, but as
- many as 75% of those will be creeps who will use your letter
- and not send you any money (PLEASE, BE HONEST -- YOU CAN MAKE
- MONEY THIS WAY, DO NOT STIFF THE PEOPLE WHO PRESENT
- YOU WITH THE OPPORTUNITY!) After that, you see the remaining 25%
- return, or $375 sent directly to you! Then, each time the
- letter is re-used, for four additional levels, you also get
- $1.00 per use. If they get the same response as you, it adds
- up to $1,500 more, for a total return on your investment of
- $1,875.00!
-
- I have tried this twice -- the first time I made about
- $1,200.00, and the second earned me just over $2,000.00!
-
- That is why I am trying this again. It worked for me, and you
- should give it a try as well. Just remember, BE HONEST!
-
- So, how does this work? Simple. You have probably seen this before.
-
- What it is, is a PERFECTLY LEGAL (see Title 18,h sections 1302
- NS 1341 of Postal Lottery Laws) program of collecting names and
- addresses for a mailing list.
-
- Basically, you will start your own small company that collects
- and stores mailing lists. NOTE: You can sell these mailing lists
- to other companies and make even more money, but I have not done
- that with mine. My goal is to make some money, not to deluge
- those who send me the money with piles of junk mail.
-
- STEP ONE - Print this letter. Save it, in case you want to try it
- again at a later date.
-
- STEP TWO - Send a snail-mail letter to each of the following
- people, reading simply "Please add me to your mailing list", and
- containing your full name and mailing address, and $1.00
- in cash:
-
-
- 1. Lisa Echstenkamper
- 6290 East Leisure Lane
- Flagstaff, AZ 86004
-
- 2. K. Taylor
- 1923 Nebraska Ave.
- Kansas City, KS 66102
-
- 3. Chuck Mays
- 2725 50th St. #213
- Bradenton, FL 34206
-
- 4. Matthew Stanislawski
- 5919 N. West Circle Ave.
- Chicago, IL 60631
-
- 5. S.J. Yeggi
- 4115 Ventura Canyon Ave.
- Sherman Oaks, CA 91423
- STEP THREE - Edit this letter to read the way you want it to.
- Include some information about yourself. DO NOT LIE! I have
- stated in this letter that I have tried it twice, but if you can
- not say that honestly, don't say it. Instead, personalize it or
- say that "Matthew Stanislawski tried it twice before, and ..."
- When you get to the list of names of above, remove the top
- name (#1), and move the others up. Then add your name to the
- bottom of the list (#5). In this way, you can earn money
- the investments of others after you, as you are helping those
- that came before.
-
- STEP FOUR - Post your letter to as many internet newgroups or
- local BBS numbers as you wish. You can even send copies of it
- snail-mail, but this is not as considerate. When you post it on
- a newsgroup, the people who want to read it can, but they are
- not forced to receive it as junk mail. Also, when you post
- it, give it a title that will draw people to it. I have
- used the title "YOU CAN START A CASH BUSINESS".
-
- STEP FIVE - When the money starts coming in (amd it may take two
- to three weeks, don't panic and don't give up), save all the
- letters you receive in a box or closet somewhere. Store the
- names and addresses in your computer, if you wish, to make
- your mailing list easier to handle, but always KEEP THE
- ORIGINAL LETTERS. This way, you will have proof that your
- business is legal and legitimate, in case you are ever asked.
-
- STEP SIX - Use the money you receive as you wish. You have earned
- it. If you need more (we all do, don't we?) then try again.
- Just do not forget to send the money to the people on your list!
- They are just like you, and nobody makes anything if this
- letter regenerates without any money changing hands.
-
- That is all. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
- I hope you decide to give it a try, and I hope it gives you
- the same results I have seen in the past. Most of all, I hope
- I can add you to my mailing list, and someday perhaps I will
- have my name added to yours.
-
- Thank you.
