Dear Friend, My name is...unimportant. Last September my car was repossessed, my wife left me, my dog died, and I lost my job; I started thinking of becoming a country-western songwriter. The only escape I had from the pressure of failure, apart from watching the Simpsons, was my computer and my modem. I longed to turn my avocation into a vocation (or was it a vacation into an avocation? A vocation into a vacation?? How about an avocado into a kumquat?). This January I went on a ten-day cruise to Omaha. I bought me a car, and a dog, and a wife, and a job for CASH in August. I am currently building a home on the West Coast of Florida, a small intimate place with 35 bedrooms, 3 kitchens, and a room that I can just eat breakfast in (it's a necessity). I will never have to work again (as if you call what I've been doing up to this point working). Today I am rich! Rich! RICH! Filthy rich! Wallowing in moolaa! Grovelling through greenbacks! Drivelling in dollars! But I digress. I have earned over $400,000,000,000 (four and a bunch of zeroes) to date and will become even more rich within 4 or 5 months. Anyone can do the same (except you, yeah, you -- you over there in Topeka picking your nose!). This money-making program works perfectly every time, 100% of the time, 120% of the time. I have NEVER failed to earn $50,000.00 or more whenever I wanted. Don't believe me? Watch -- SEE!!?? I just made $50,453 just now. Best of all you never have to leave home except to go to your mailbox or post office or to buy toilet paper or visit your mother. In October, I received a letter in the mail telling me how I could earn $50,000 dollars or more whenever I wanted. SEE!!??-- there it goes again; I just made $51,342 just now. I was naturally very skeptical and threw the letter on the desk next to my computer (why I leave the computer on the floor and not put it on top of the desk I'll never know). It's funny though, when you are desperate, backed into a corner, your mind does crazy things; made me start to think. And then I spent a frustrating day looking through the want ads for a job with a future. But all I saw were jobs. The pickings were sparse at best, e.g., software engineer -- $60K starting salary -- rather depressing. That night I tried to unwind by booting up my computer and calling several bulletin boards ("Yoo-hoo, Prodigy! Hey, Compuserve!"). When that didn't work, I tried dialing into some of them. I read several of the message posts and then glanced at the letter next to the computer. All at once it came to me like a bad case of food poisoning. I now had the key to my dreams. I realized that with the power of the computer (100 watts) 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 bulletin boards in place of the post office and electronically did by computer what others were doing 100% by mail -- sucking up people's time with unwanted nuisance advertisements and schemes. Now only a few letters are mailed manually just for old time's sake. Most of the hard work is speedily downloaded to other bulletin boards throughout the world. Ah, the feeling of power! If you believe that someday you deserve that lucky break that you have waited for all your life for but never had the balls to go out and work hard and make it happen through honest sweat and initiative, simply follow the easy instructions below. Your dreams will come true. Trust me, A. Friend INSTRUCTIONS Follow these instructions EXACTLY, and in 20 to 60 days you will have received well over $50,000.00 in cash or gold bullion, all yours. This program has remained successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants (and a commitment to not mention this program to the police). 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, just like bookmaking. You are in the business of financial transactions. Many large corporations do "financial transactions". Can you say "financial transactions"? Place $25,000 in small bills in a brown paper bag (yes, the bag must be brown; no other color will do), and deposit it behind the trashcan near the corner of 7th and Main in downtown West Coast, Florida. Then write a postcard notifying the first person on the list below that you've done this (it's a small list for your convenience): 1. Occupant 1457 Sunstroke Court West Coast, Florida 00000001 I will pickup, err, a trusted person will take receipt of this money. The money will then be taken to Hialeah and bet on horse number 5 in the fifth race to win (ha! I fooled you! Number 5 is NOT my favorite number; I just pulled it out of thin air). The winnings will be split a fair 60/40 and your 40% will be returned to you minus a small carrying charge and shipping and handling costs and state and federal taxes and import duties and title control fees and taxicab fares. The following letters were written by participating members in this program: I didn't believe the letter when I received it but decided to give it a try anyway. Lo and behold, the money started flowing in! My wife and I couldn't believe it! Now we're rolling in cash, I can buy that Winnebago I always wanted, and we can travel to Des Moines to visit Martha's uncle on her mother's side like we've always wanted. You CAN realize your dreams. Sincerely, Dim Hedlite El Segundo, Calif. Another letter: I've had a lot a time on my hands lately and I came across this great letter promising money-making opportunities. I was skeptical at first, but sometimes you have to throw caution to the wind. I couldn't believe the results! Now I know the direction I must take in my life. I am a changed woman.
