Michael" To: "Member" Sent: Saturday, September 09, 2000 4:44 AM Subject: Hello, take a look at this. PLEASE READ THIS!!! You will not regret it!! Thanks... ***Read through this email completely and believe it! I was skeptical at first,but I said what is $15.00? So, I followed the instructions in this email and now I have already made $2500.00 in little over 1 week. (!) The trick is...sending the email to as many people as you can. Headline: Parents of 15 Year Old Find $71,000 Cash Hidden in His Closet. "CASH JUST KEEPS COMING IN MY MAIL" EVERYONE ON THIS LIST GETS PAID EVERYTIME!!! Invest $15 and get your name on the list, you will not regret it! ($5 to each person) It Works. It's Legal. It's Easy. Try It! "BOY'S MOTHER FINDS $71,000 CASH IN HIS CLOSET!" 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 boys' 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 >"chain-letter" to e-mail addresses that he obtained off of 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 3 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 other 2 addresses up, and finally to add your name to the >bottom 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 bottom of the 3-address list. "I get junk e-mail all the time, and really did not think it was going to work", the boy continues. >"About a week later I rode [my bike] down to the post office and my box had >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, 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 $5,000 at a time in my backpack. I would usually tell the teller at the bank counter that my dad had sent me in [to exchange the money] and he was outside waiting for me. 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 add me to your mailing list". This simple note made the letter legal because he was exchanging a service (adding the purchasers name to his mailing list) for a five-dollar fee. > >Here is the letter he sent by e-mail, you could do the exact same thing he was doing, simply by following the instructions in this letter. > >-------------------------------------------- > >Follow these simple instructions to make $10,000 US in little over 2 weeks: > >There are 3 addresses listed below. > Send each person on the list a $5 bill wrapped in 2 pieces of paper (to securely hide it), along with a note that says: "Please add me to your mailing list". Then delete the name at the top, move the other 2 up and put your name at the bottom. Now start sending this ENTIRE e-mail out to people. When 20 people receive it, those 20 people will move your name up to the middle position and they will each send out 20.That totals 400 people that will receive this letter with your name in the middle. Then, hopefully, those 400 people will move your name up to the top and they will each send out 20 e-mails. That totals 8,000 people that will receive this E-mail with your name on it and they will each send you a $5 bill.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 8,000 people each sending you a $5 bill = $40,000 cash. That's if everyone responds to this e-mail, but not everyone will, so you can expect more realistically to receive about $10,000 cash $5 bills in your mailbox. This will work for anyone, anywhere in the world in any country, but send only US CASH $5 bill. The more e-mails you send out, the more cash you will receive. If each person sends out 100 E-mails, there will be 1,000,000 people that receive this letter with your name on it. If only 1% of those people respond, you will still get $50,000 cash. > >Here is the list of people you must send $5.00 US to. > >-------------------------------------------- > > >#1. J.Lennon >P.O.
