NEWS REPORT-
PARENTS OF 15 - YEAR OLD - FIND $71,000 CASH HIDDEN IN HIS CLOSET!
Does this headline look familiar? Of course it does. You most likely have
just seen this story recently featured on a major nightly news program
(USA), and reported elsewhere in the world. His mother was
cleaning and putting laundry away when she came across 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 it
was full of cash.
Five-dollar bills, twenties, fifties and hundreds - all neatly rubber-banded
in labeled piles.
My first thought was that he had robbed a bank, says the 41-year-old woman,
There was over $71,000
dollars 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 they drove together to the boy's school and picked him up.
Little did they suspect that where the money came from was more shocking
than actually finding it in the closet?
As it turns out, the boy had been sending out, via E-mail, a type of Report
to E-mail addresses that he
obtained off the Internet. Everyday after school for the past 2 months, he
had been doing this right on
his computer in his bedroom.
I just got the 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 clever 15-year-old. The E-mail
letter listed 5 addresses and
contained instructions to send one $5 dollar bill to each person on the
list, then delete the address
at the top and move the others addresses Down, and finally to add your name
to the top of the list.
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 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 with not
magazines, but envelopes containing
$5 bills. About a week later I rode [my bike] down to the post office and my
box had 1 magazine and
about 300 envelops stuffed in it. There was also a yellow slip that said I
had to go up to the [post office]
counter. I thought I was in trouble or something (laughs). He goes on, I
went up to the counter and they
had a whole box of more mail for me. I had to ride back home and empty out
my backpack because I
could not carry it all.
Over the next few weeks, the boy continued sending out the E-mail The money
just kept coming in and
I just kept sorting it and stashing it in the closet, 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 money 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 legal according to US Postal and Lottery
Laws, Title 18, Section 1302
and 1341, or Title 18, Section 3005 in the US code, also in the code of
federal regulations, Volume 16,
Sections 255 and 436, which state a product or service must be exchanged for
money 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 legal
because he was exchanging a service (A Report on how-to) for a
five-dollar fee. [This is the end of the media release. If you would like to
understand how the system
works and get your $71,000 - please continue reading. What appears below is
what the 15 year old
was sending out on the net - YOU CAN USE IT TOO - just follow the simple
instructions].
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
BE FINANCIALLY FREE LIKE OTHERS WITHIN A YEAR!!! Before you say, BULL,
please read the following. This is the letter you have been hearing about on
the news lately. Due to the popularity of this letter on the
Internet, a national weekly news program recently devoted an entire show to
the investigation of this
program described below, to see if it really can make people money. The show
also investigated whether or
not the program was legal. Their findings proved once and for all that
there are absolutely NO Laws
prohibiting the participation in the program and if people can follow the
simple instructions, they are
bound to make some megabucks with only $25 out of pocket cost.
DUE TO THE RECENT INCREASE OF POPULARITY & RESPECT THIS PROGRAM HAS
ATTAINED, IT
IS CURRENTLY WORKING BETTER THAN EVER.
Note* follow the directions below, I had best results the second time when I
hired a bulk email service in
addition to following the reports instructions.
In order for all of us to be successful, many, many emails must be sent so
that the returns are many. I have
been extremely successful using the following company. They send out the
offers, and all I do is accept
money for reports, then I send back to the people as soon as possible.
This is what one had to say: Thanks to this profitable opportunity. I was
approached many times before
but each time I passed on it. I am so glad I finally joined just to see what
one could expect in return for
the minimal effort and money required. To my astonishment, I received total
$610,470.00 in 21 weeks,
with money still coming in.

Here is another testimonial: This program has been around for a long time
but I never believed in it.
But one day when I received this again in the mail I decided to gamble my
$25 on it. I followed the
simple instructions and walaa ..... 3 weeks later the money started to come
in. First month I only made
$240.00 but the next 2 months after that I made a total of $290,000.00. So
far, in the past 8 months by
re-entering the program, I have made over $710,000.00 and I am playing it
again. The key to success in
this program is to follow the simple steps and NOT change anything.
More testimonials later but first,
PRINT THIS NOW FOR YOUR FUTURE REFERENCE
Order all 5 reports shown on the list below For each report, send $5 CASH,
THE NAME & NUMBER OF
THE REPORT YOU ARE ORDERING and YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS to the person whose name
appears
ON THAT LIST next to the report.
MAKE SURE YOUR RETURN ADDRESS IS ON YOUR ENVELOPE TOP LEFT CORNER in case of
any mail problems. When you place your order, make sure you order each of
the 5 reports.
You will need all 5 reports so that you can save them on your computer.
Within a few days you will
receive, vie e-mail, each of the 5 reports from these 5 different
individuals.
Save them on your computer so they will be accessible for you to send to the
1,000's of people who
will order them from you. Also make a floppy of these reports and keep it on
your desk in case something
happens to your computer.
IMPORTANT - DO NOT alter the names of the people who are listed next to each
report, or their sequence
on the list, in any way other than what is instructed below in step 1
through 6 or you will loose out on
majority of your profits. Once you understand the way this works, you will
also see how it does not work
if you change it. Remember, this method has been tested, and if you alter,
it will NOT work!!! People have
tried to put their friends/relatives names on all five thinking they could
get all the money. But it does not
work this way. Believe us, we all have tried to be greedy and then nothing
happened. So Do Not try to
change anything other than what is instructed. Because if you do, it will
not work for you.
Remember, honesty reaps the reward!!!
1.... After you have ordered all 5 reports, take this advertisement and
REMOVE the name & address of
the person in REPORT # 5. This person has made it through the cycle
and is no doubt counting
their fortune.

6.... Insert YOUR name & address in the REPORT # 1 Position.
PLEASE MAKE SURE you copy every name & address ACCURATELY!

**** Take this entire letter, with the modified list of names, and save it
on your computer. DO NOT MAKE
ANY OTHER CHANGES. Save this on a disk as well just in case if you lose any
data. To assist you with
marketing your business on the internet, the 5 reports you purchase will
provide you with invaluable
marketing information which includes how to send bulk e-mails legally, where
to find thousands of free
classified ads and much more. There are 2 Primary methods to get this
venture going:
METHOD #1: BY SENDING BULK E-MAIL LEGALLY
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Let's say that you decide to start small, just to see how it goes, and we
will assume You and those involved
send out only 5,000e-mails each. Let's also assume that the mailing receive
only a 0.2% response (the
response could be much better but lets just say it is only 0.2%. Also many
people will send out hundreds
of thousands e-mails instead of only 5,000 each). Continuing with this
example, you send out only
5,000 e-mails.
With a 0.2% response, that is only 10 orders for report # 1. Those 10
people responded by sending
out 5,000 e-mail each for a total of 50,000. Out of those 50,000 e-mails
only 0.2% responded with
orders. That equals 100 people responded and ordered Report # 2.
Those 100 people mail out 5,000 e-mails each for a total of 500,000 e-mails.
The 0.2% response to that is
1000 orders for Report #3.
Those 1000 people send out 5,000 e-mails each for a total of 5 million
e-mails sent out. The 0.2% response
to that is 10,000 orders for Report #4.
Those 10,000 people send out 5,000 e-mails each for a total of 50,000,000
(50 million) e-mails. The 0.2% response to that is 100,000 orders for Report
#5. THAT'S 100,000 ORDERS TIMES $5 EACH=$500,000.00 (half million).
Your total income in this example is:
1..... $50 +
2..... $500 +
3..... $5,000 +
4..... $50,000 +
5..... $500,000........Grand Total=$555,550.00
NUMBERS DO NOT LIE. GET A PENCIL & PAPER AND FIGURE OUT THE WORST POSSIBLE
RESPONSES AND NO MATTER HOW YOU CALCULATE IT, YOU WILL STILL MAKE A LOT OF
MONEY!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
REMEMBER FRIEND, THIS IS ASSUMING ONLY 10 PEOPLE ORDERING
OUT OF 5,000 YOU MAILED TO. Dare to think for a moment what would happen if
everyone or half or e ven one 4th of those people mailed 100,000e-mails each
or more? There are over 150 million people on
the Internet worldwide and counting. Believe me, many people will do just
that, and more!
METHOD #2: BY PLACING FREE ADS ON THE INTERNET
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Advertising on the net is very very inexpensive and there are hundreds of
FREE places to advertise.
Placing a lot of free ads on the Internet will easily get a larger response.
We strongly suggest you start with Method #1 and add METHOD #2 as you go
along. For every $5 you
receive, all you must do is e-mail them the Report they ordered. That's it.
Always provide same day service on all orders. This will guarantee that the
e-mail they send out with your name and address on it, will be
prompt because they can not advertise until they receive the report.
================AVAILABLE REPORTS =================
ORDER EACH REPORT BY ITS NUMBER & NAME ONLY.
Notes: Always send $5 cash (U.S. CURRENCY) for each Report.
Checks NOT accepted.
Make sure the cash is concealed by wrapping it in at least 2 sheets of
paper.
On one of those sheets of paper, Write the NUMBER & the NAME of the Report
you are ordering,
YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS and your name and postal address.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ YOUR SUCCESS GUIDELINES $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Follow these guidelines to guarantee your success:
If you do not receive at least 10 orders for Report #1 within 2 weeks,
continue sending e-mails until you
do. === After you have received 10 orders, 2 to 3 weeks after that you
should receive 100 orders or more
for REPORT #2. If you did not, continue advertising or sending e-mails until
you do.
Once you have received 100 or more orders for Report #2, YOU CAN RELAX,
because the system is
already working for you, and the cash will continue to roll in! THIS IS
IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER: Every time your name is moved down on the list, you
are placed in front of a Different report. You can KEEP
TRACK of your PROGRESS by watching which report people are ordering from
you. IF YOU WANT TO
GENERATE MORE INCOME SEND ANOTHER BATCH OF E-MAILS AND START THE WHOLE
PROCESS
AGAIN. There is NO LIMIT to the income you can generate from this
business!!!

=================== MORE TESTIMONIALS=============
My name is Mitchell. My wife, Jody and I live in Chicago. I am an accountant
with a major U.S.
Corporation and I make pretty good money. When I received this program I
grumbled to Jody about
receiving junk mail. I made fun of the whole thing, spouting my knowledge of
the population and
percentages involved. I knew it wouldn't work. Jody totally ignored my
supposed intelligence and
few days later she jumped in with both feet. I made merciless fun of her,
and was ready to lay the old
I told you so on her when the thing didn't work. Well, the laugh was on me!
Within 3 weeks she had
received 50 responses. Within the next 45 days she had received total $
147,200.00....all cash! I
was shocked. I have joined Jody in her hobby.

Not being the gambling type, it took me several weeks to make up my mind to
participate in this plan.
But conservative that I am, I decided that the initial investment was so
little that there was just no way
that I wouldn't get enough orders to at least get my money back. I was
surprised when I found my
medium size post office box crammed with orders. I made $319,210.00 in the
first 12 weeks. The nice
thing about this deal is that it does not matter where people live. There
simply isn't a better investment
with a faster return and so big.

I had received this program before. I deleted it, but later I wondered if I
should have given it a try.
Of course, I had no idea who to contact to get another copy, so I had to
wait until I was e-mailed
again by someone else......11 months passed then it luckily came again......
I did not delete this one!
I made more than $490,000 on my first try and all the money came within 22
weeks.
