Dear Friend, My name is Dave Rhodes. In September 1988 my car was reposessed and the bill collectors were hounding me like you wouldn't believe. I was laid off and my unemployment checks had run out. The only escape I had from the pressure of failure was my IBM XT computer and my modem. I longed to turn my advocation into my vocation. This January 1990 my family and I went on a ten day cruise to the tropics. I bought a Lincoln Town Car for CASH in Feburary 1990. I am currently building a home on the West Coast of Florida, with a private pool, boat slip, and a beautiful view of the bay from my breakfast room table and patio. I will never have to work again. Today I am rich! I have earned over $400,000.00 (Four Hundred Thousand Dollars) to date and will become a millionaire within 4 or 5 months. Anyone can do the same. This money making program works perfectly every time, 100% of the time. I have NEVER failed to earn $50,000.00 or more whenever I wanted. Best of all you never have to leave home except to go to your mailbox or post office. In October 1988, I received a letter in the mail telling me how I could earn $50,000 dollars or more whenever I wanted. I was naturally very skeptical and threw the letter on the desk next to my computer. It's funny though, when you are desperate, backed into a corner, your mind does crazy things. I spent a frustating day looking through the want ads for a job with a future. The pickings were sparse at best. That night I tried to unwind by booting up my computer and calling several bulletin boards. I read several of the message posts and than glanced at the letter next to the computer. All at once it came to me, I now had the key to my dreams. I realized that with the power of the computer I could expand and enhance this money making formula into the most unbelievable cash flow generator that has ever been created. I substituted the computer bulletion boards in place of the post office and electronically did by computer what others were doing 100% by mail. Now only a few letters are mailed manually. Most of the hard work is speedily downloaded to other bulletin boards throughout the world. If you believe that someday you deserve that lucky break that you have waited for all your life, simply follow the easy instructions below. Your dreams will come true. Sincerely yours, Dave Rhodes INSTRUCTIONS Follow these instructions EXACTLY, and in 20 to 60 days you will have received well over $50,000.00 cash, all yours. This program has remained successful because of the HONESTY and INTEGRETY of the participants. Please continue its success by carefully adhering to the instructions. Welcome to the world of Mail Order! This little business is a little different than most mail order houses. Your product is not solid and tangible, but rather a service. You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. (The money made from the mailing lists are secondary to the income which is made from people like yourself requesting that they be included in that list.) 1) Immediately mail $1.00 to the first 5 (five) names listed below starting at number 1 through number 5. Send cash only please (total investment $5.00). Enclose a note with each letter stating: "Please add my name to your mailing list." (This is a legitimate service that you are requesting and you are paying $1.00 for this service). 2) Remove the name that appears number 1 on the list. Move the other 9 names up one position. (Number 2 will become number 1 and number 3 will become number 2, etc.) Place your name, address and zip code in the number 10 position. 3) Post the new letter with your name in the number 10 position into 10 or more separate bulletin boards in the message base or upload to the file section. Call the file MONEY.ZIP 4) Soon you will begin to receive as much as $50,000.00 in CASH. Keep a copy of this file for yourself so that you can use it again and again whenever you need money. As soon as you mail out these letters you are automatically in the mail order business and people are sending you $1.00 to be placed on your mailing list. This list can than be rented to a list broker that can be found in the Yellow Pages for additional income on a regular basis. The list will become more valuable as it grows in size. This is a service. This is perfectly legal. If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18, Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the postal lottery laws. NOTE: Make sure you retain EVERY Name and Address sent to you, either on computer or hard copy, but do not discard the names and notes they send you. This is PROOF that you are truly providing a service and should the IRS or some other Government Agency question you, you can provide them with this proof! Remember as each post is downloaded and the instructions carefully followed, five members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so that when your name reaches the number five position you will be receiving thousands of dollars in cash. 1.

Jim Caruso 3321 North Hampton Pl. Marietta, GA 30064 The following letters were written by participating members in this program. To Whom It May Concern: About six months ago I received the enclosed post in letter form. I ignored it. I received about five more of the same letter withn the next two weeks. I ignored them also. Of course, I was tempted to follow through and dreamed of making thousands, but I was convinced it was just another gimmick and could not possibly work. I was wrong! About three weeks later I saw this same letter posted on a local bulletion board in Montreal. I liked the idea of giving it a try with my computer. I didn't expect much because I figured, if other people were as skeptical as I, they wouldn't be too quick to part with Five dollars. But, I buy lottery tickets weekly in my province and have nothing to show for it but ticket stubs. This week I decided to look at this as my weekly lottery purchase. I addressed the envelopes and mailed out one dollar in each as directed. Two weeks went by and I didn't recieve anything in the mail. The fourth week rolled around and I couldn't believe what happened! I can't say I received $50,000, but it was definitely well over $35,000! For the first time in ten years, I got out of debt. It was great. Of course, it didn't take me long to go through my earnings so I am using this excellent money opportunity once again. Follow the instructions and get ready to enjoy. Please send a copy of this letter along with the enclosed letter so together we can convince people who are skeptical that it really works! Good Luck, Charles Kust St Agathe Que. Another letter: I tried a similar program in which the cost was $5.00 per response. In that one the return was about 3%. Since I did not have a modem I sent out letters regular mail. I created mailing labels with Appleworks and printed the labels on pressure sensitive tape. The first mailing that I used the $1.00 dollar per reponse approach I started to get return mail in just over one week! I sent out 200 letters instead of 100 that is required if you use the mail instead of the bulletion boards. Additionally, I included as many friends, relatives, classmates, that I could think of in order to encourage their participation if they happened to recognize my name, so my percnetage of gain was higher. I am trying again with 500 letters to see if I surpass the $141,000 of the last time. You just won't beleive it until you try. Best Wishes, Mark Garner Dallas Texas Additional Notes: This system works equally well if mailed out manually. Mind you it takes more effort to hand address the envelopes and the cost goes up proportionately to cover the postage and envelopes. You must also photo copy the instructions, cross out the name in number one position, write in your name in the number ten slot and change the rest of the numbers accordinly. (It might be neater to use white out or paste over the names.) In order to achieve the same results you must send out the $1.00 dollar to the first five names and then send out another 100 letters with copies of the program enclosed. It has been suggested not to put a return address on the outside of the envelope in order to encourage the recipient to open it. The return will approximate that then received from the posts listed on the bulletin boards. Another letter: I was working the grave yard night shift at the hospital administration office and was bored to tears. I saw this letter laying on my desk from the previous shift. I had nothing better to do so I figured, Why not? I ran off over 100 copies on the office copier. I found some blank envelopes in a desk drawer and began to hand write the addresses from the telephone book. I borrowed the postage meter and stamped the envelopes. Carefully I stuffed the envelopes not forgetting to put in the five one dollar bills to the first five names. I put the entire lot in the mail bag. Total time from start to finish was three and one half hours which included several short stops to answer the telephone and fill out an admission slip. Total cost to me $5.00 dollars. Fourty two days later I gave notice to my employer and I will never have to work the night shift again. Peggy Lou G. Scottsdale Arizona PS. I made a nice size donation to the hospital building fund. I figured it was the least I could do for the use of the postage and office supplies. Hello; my name is Steve Prester. As you may have noticed I'm the tenth name on this list, so I do not have a rags-to-riches story to tell here. However, I did make a phone call to the 2nd name on this list, Ernest Goyette. Did he have a rags to riches story to tell? Not exactly, but then I found out that he did not follow the instructions precisely. You see, Ernest lost faith in the program before he had finished following instructions. He only uploaded this file on one BBS, which happens to operated by Darryl McGinnis, the 3rd name on this list. Ernest told me that he has received $92.00 to date (1/6/90). I realize this is far from the $50,000.00 promised at the first of this file, yet one must keep two things in mind: 1. $92.00 is almost 10 times his initial investment, and it only took about an hour of his time (there's nothing to lose). 2. This program works mathematically on an exponential scale. In other words, for every one BBS that this file is uploaded onto, it should spread to at least ten other BBSs and possibly a whole lot more. So, if Ernest had uploaded his file on all ten BBSs, he should have at least gotten a hundred-fold of what he has, which would be $9200.00. Not bad for a few hours work and a $6.25 investment (including postage). Finally, I would like to exhort those who become involved in this program to maintain its integrity by being honest. It is the only way that it can possibly pay off. In other words, be sure to enter your name at the bottom of the list and not in one of the top five positions (actually this would be robbing yourself since it is while your name is in the lower positions that it gets multiplied exponentially over hundreds of BBSs). And, of course, send your $1.00 off to the first five names. As I write this I have not made a penny (that's because I have not uploaded this yet), but I thought you might like to hear from someone at the bottom of the list, instead of someone claiming rags-to-riches. I hope such is true, and I'm sure it will be if we all stick with it. The potential is definitely here! P.S. Call me if you get rich. Hi, my name's Cliff. Now I am 10th on the list. This might just work, and I would know, because I am the sysop of a BBS (Almost Awesome) in the Washington, DC area, home of over 1,000 local Bulletin boards, one of the heaviest concentrations of public boards in the Nation. This is new in this area, and has good potential for 'service income'. Don't forget to declare it on your tax returns, though. It is, in fact, self- employment income (I'm also a degreed accountant) and Schedule C is used to report it. If anyone would like to leave a message on the progress of thier list-making or get a status update, call my board at (703)709- 6947. Yes, I sent out the $5 to the top 5 names. It cost just what Steve said in the letter above, and took about an hour. If I make a dime, I'll be tickled to death. Heck, have some fun! Make 5 people's day! Who knows? Maybe a few people will make YOURS! -Cliff- Alas. Yet another name and story. I'm Bhek, the new #10 on the ever popular list. I thought maybe if I explain to you why I am trying this you may be able to relate and give it a shot yourself. Last year a buddy of mine who is always trying some scam to make cash used a method similar to this via mailing systems and ACTUALLY MADE MONEY. It wasn't the $250K he was expecting but it did buy him a new jeep. After seeing this I immedia tly began the footwork for setting up my own mailing. What I found was that the cost of postage, copying, envelopes and a good mailing list not to ment ion the amount of time it was taking to pull it all together was much more than I could afford (several hundred dollars and a full work week for 500 letters). So when I downloaded this file yesterday I saw that not only did it eliminate my previous drawbacks but the response will be better because the issues of cost and time are almost non-existant with a pc. I have faith in this one. If it works we'll all be rich---if not you spent about $6.50 doing somthing fun with your pc. That's better than seeing a bad movie or having your car washed the day before it rains. takes just about as much time too. Good Luck and FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS! IF YOU SEND THIS FILE OUT PLEASE CALL THE NITROUS CLOUD BBS (301-320-6748) AND LEAVE AN EMAIL FOR ME UNDER USER #1176. LET ME KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT NUMBER MY NAME IS AT WHEN YOU FIND THIS FILE. THANX. -Bhek- And yet another letter, from Carl Miller: Hey, this system is really practical. I'm sure it will work out. But remember everyone, if you stick your name anywhere except No. 10, you're cheating yourself. You'll get get money faster (maybe a few days) but it'll be much less. And the more boards you upload this to, the more money. And for every dollar you send to the people on the list that's another few thousand dollars for you. I know this has been said before, I just wanted to remind everyone. Oh, and if it's a local call for you, please call Mad House BBS, 301-320-6167 and E-mail the SysOp (that's me) and tell me which number I'm at. Thanks, Carl Miller
