how many people on the lists have received this stuped spam in the last
few hours? I received it 3 times in a few seconds, once on an account
which i've only used to send about 3 mail messages, 2 of them to the
lists.
Is it possible that someone is spamming the list somehow? Or querying
majordomo for the addresses? Although the one account which i've only used
for a few messages wasn't even subscribed to the list.
any ideas anyone?

Subject: Aren't you the person....?
DO NOT DELETE THIS! MAY I PLEASE HAVE A FEW MINUTES OF YOUR TIME.
Dear friend,
Do you realize hundreds of thousands of dollars are made each day by
way of the internet. Haven't you ever thought "I wish I could find a
way to make money with my computer and my internet connection"? Well you
can! The internet is making it possible for everyday ordinary people like
you and me to make lots of money. Many of you will read this and think
"That can't work" or "It sounds too good to be true". But I challenge
you to discard traditional thinking and allow yourself the opportunity
to make some of those thousands of dollars that are exchaning hands
each and every hour.
The opportunity below is no scam and is very legal. It is a simplified
form of email marketing. The first time I saw it I deleted it immediately.
But the next time I saw it I figured I had nothing to lose with so very
little investment required. This is my 2nd time doing this program.
The first time I did this I made very good money. I decided to do it
again but make it even better. Please at least read this as it may be
the answer you've been looking for. You certainly have nothing to lose.
"THREW IT AWAY"
"I had received this program before. I threw it away, but later
wondered if I shouldn't have given it a try. Of course, I had no idea
who to contact to get a copy, so I had to wait until I was emailed
another copy of the program. Eleven months passed, then it came. I
DIDN'T throw this one away. I made $41,000 on the first try."
Dawn W., Evansville, IN
"NO FREE LUNCH"
"My late father always told me, 'remember, Alan, there is no free lunch
in life. You get out of life what you put into it.' Through trial and
error and a somewhat slow frustrating start, I finally figured it out.
The program works very well, I just had to find the right target group
of people to email it to. So far this year, I have made over $63,000
using this program. I know my dad would have been very proud of me."
Alan B., Philadelphia, PA
A PERSONAL NOTE FROM THE ORIGINATOR OF THIS PROGRAM
By the time you have read the enclosed information and looked over the
enclosed program and reports, you should have concluded that such a
program, and one that is legal, could not have been created by an
amateur.
Let me tell you a little about myself. I had a profitable business for
ten years. Then in 1979 my business began falling off. I was doing
the same things that were previously successful for me, but it wasn't
working. Finally, I figured it out. It wasn't me, it was the economy.
Inflation and recession had replaced the stable economy that had been
with us since 1945. I don't have to tell you what happened to the
unemployment rate...because many of you know from first hand experience.
There were more failures and bankruptcies than ever before.
The middle class was vanishing. Those who knew what they were doing
invested wisely and moved up. Those who did not, including those who
never had anything to save or invest, were moving down into the ranks
of the poor. As the saying goes, "THE RICH GET RICHER AND THE POOR GET
POORER." The traditional methods of making money will never allow you
to "move up" or "get rich", inflation will see to that.
You have just received information that can give you financial freedom
for the rest of your life, with "NO RISK" and "JUST A LITTLE BIT OF
EFFORT." You can make more money in the next few months than you have
ever imagined.
I should also point out that I will not see a penny of your money, nor
anyone else who has provided a testimonial for this program. I have
already made over FOUR MILLION DOLLARS! I have retired from the
program after sending out over 16,000 programs. Now I have several
offices which market this and several other programs here in the US and
overseas. By the Spring, we wish to market the 'Internet' by a
partnership with AMERICA ON LINE.
Follow the program EXACTLY AS INSTRUCTED. Do not change it in any way.
It works exceedingly well as it is now. Remember to email a copy of
this exciting program to everyone that you can think of. One of the
people you send this to may send out 50,000...and your name will be on
every one of them!. Remember though, the more you send out, the more
potential customers you will reach.
So my friend, I have given you the ideas, information, materials and
opportunity to become financially independent, IT IS UP TO YOU NOW!
"THINK ABOUT IT"
Before you delete this program from your mailbox, as I almost did, take
a little time to read it and REALLY THINK ABOUT IT. Get a pencil and
figure out what could happen when YOU participate. Figure out the
worst possible response and no matter how you calculate it, you will
still make a lot of money! Definitely get back what you invested. Any
doubts you have will vanish when your first orders come in. IT WORKS!

HERE'S HOW THIS AMAZING PROGRAM WILL MAKE YOU $$$$$$
Let's say that you decide to start small, just to see how it goes, and
we'll assume you and all those involved send out 2,000 programs each.
Let's also assume that the mailing receives a .5% response. Using a
good list the response could be much better. Also many people will
send out hundreds of thousands of programs instead of 2,000. But
continuing with this example, you send out only 2,000 programs. With a
5% response, that is only 10 orders for REPORT #1. Those 10 people
respond by sending out 2,000 programs each for a total of 20,000. Out
of those .5%, 100 people respond and order REPORT #2. Those 100 mail
out 2,000 programs each for a total of 200,000. The .5% response to
that is 1,000 orders for REPORT #3. Those 1,000 send out 2,000
programs each for a 2,000,000 total. The .5% response to that is
10,000 orders for REPORT #4. That's 10,000 five dollar bills for you.
CASH!!!! Your total income in this example is $50 + $500 + $5000 +
$50,000 for a total of $55,550!!!!
REMEMBER FRIEND, THIS IS ASSUMING 1,990 OUT OF 2,000 PEOPLE YOU
MAIL TO WILL DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING... AND TRASH THIS PROGRAM!
DARE TO THINK FOR A MOMENT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF EVERYONE
OR HALF SENT OUT 100,000 PROGRAMS INSTEAD OF ONLY 2,000. Believe
me, many people will do that and more! By the way, your cost to participate
in this is practically nothing. You obviously already have an internet
connection and email is FREE!!! REPORT#3 will show you the best
methods for bulk emailing and purchasing email lists.
THIS IS A LEGITIMATE, LEGAL, MONEY MAKING OPPORTUNITY. It does not
require you to come in contact with people, do any hard work, and best
of all, you never have to leave the house except to get the mail. If
you believe that someday you'll get that big break that you've been
waiting for, THIS IS IT! Simply follow the instructions, and your
dream will come true. This multi-level email order marketing program
works perfectly...100% EVERY TIME. Email is the sales tool of the
future. Take advantage of this non-commercialized method of
advertising NOW!! The longer you wait, the more people will be doing
business using email. Get your piece of this action!!
MULTI-LEVEL MARKETING (MLM) has finally gained respectability. It is
being taught in the Harvard Business School, and both Stanford Research
and The Wall Street Journal have stated that between 50% and 65% of all
goods and services will be sold throughout Multi-level Methods by the
mid to late 1990's. This is a Multi-Billion Dollar industry and of the
500,000 millionaires in the US, 20% (100,000) made their fortune in the
last several years in MLM. Moreover, statistics show 45 people become
millionaires everyday through Multi-Level Marketing.
INSTRUCTIONS
We at Erris Mail Order Marketing Business, have a method of raising
capital that REALLY WORKS 100% EVERY TIME. I am sure that you could
use $50,000 to $125,000 in the next 20 to 90 days. Before you say
"Bull", please read the program carefully.
This is not a chain letter, but a perfectly legal money making
opportunity. Basically, this is what we do: As with all multi-level
business, we build our business by recruiting new partners and selling
our products. Every state in the USA allows you to recruit new multi-
level business partners, and we offer a product for EVERY dollar sent.
YOUR ORDERS COME AND ARE FILLED THROUGH THE MAIL, so you are not
involved in personal selling. You do it privately in your own home,
store or office.
This is the GREATEST Multi-level Mail Order Marketing anywhere:
Step (1) Order all four 4 REPORTS listed by NAME AND NUMBER. Do this
by ordering the REPORT from each of the four 4 names listed
on the next page. For each REPORT, send $5 CASH and a SELF-
ADDRESSED, STAMPED envelope (BUSINESS SIZE #10) to the
person listed for the SPECIFIC REPORT. International orders
should also include $1 extra for postage. It is essential
that you specify the NAME and NUMBER of the report requested
to the person you are ordering from. You will need ALL FOUR
4 REPORTS because you will be REPRINTING and RESELLING them.
DO NOT alter the names or sequence other than what the
instructions say. IMPORTANT: Always provide same-day
service on all orders.
Step (2) Replace the name and address under REPORT #1 with
yours, moving the one that was there down to REPORT #2.
Drop the name and address under REPORT #2 to REPORT #3,
moving the one that was there to REPORT #4. The name and
address that was under REPORT #4 is dropped from the list
and this party is no doubt on the way to the bank. When
doing this, make certain you type the names and
addresses ACCURATELY! DO NOT MIX UP MOVING PRODUCT/REPORT
POSITIONS!!!
Step (3) Having made the required changes in the NAME list, save it
as a text (.txt) file in it's own directory to be used with
whatever email program you like. Again, REPORT #3 will tell
you the best methods of bulk emailing and acquiring email
lists.
Step (4) Email a copy of the entire program (all of this is very
important) to everyone whose address you can get your hands
on. Start with friends and relatives since you can encourage
them to take advantage of this fabulous money-making
opportunity. That's what I did. And they love me now, more
than ever. Then, email to anyone and everyone! Use your
imagination! You can get email addresses from companies on
the internet who specialize in email mailing lists. These
are very cheap, 100,000 addresses for around $35.00.
IMPORTANT: You won't get a good response if you use an old list, so
always request a FRESH, NEW list. You will find out where to purchase
these lists when you order the four 4 REPORTS.
ALWAYS PROVIDE SAME-DAY SERVICE ON ALL ORDERS!!!
REQUIRED REPORTS
***Order each REPORT by NUMBER and NAME***

CONCLUSION
I am enjoying my fortune that I made by sending out this program.
You too, will be making money in 20 to 90 days, if you follow the
SIMPLE STEPS outlined in this mailing.
To be financially independent is to be FREE. Free to make financial
decisions as never before. Go into business, get into investments,
retire or take a vacation. No longer will a lack of money hold you
back.
However, very few people reach financial independence, because when
opportunity knocks, they choose to ignore it. It is much easier to say
"NO" than "YES", and this is the question that you must answer. Will
YOU ignore this amazing opportunity or will you take advantage of it?
If you do nothing, you have indeed missed something and nothing will
change. Please re-read this material, this is a special opportunity.
If you have any questions, please feel free to write to the sender of
this information. You will get a prompt and informative reply.
My method is simple. I sell thousands of people a product for $5 that
costs me pennies to produce and email. I should also point out that
this program is legal and everyone who participates WILL make money.
This is not a chain letter or pyramid scam. At times you have probably
received chain letters, asking you to send money, on faith, but getting
NOTHING in return, NO product what-so-ever! Not only are chain letters
illegal, but the risk of someone breaking the chain makes them quite
unattractive.
You are offering a legitimate product to your people. After they
purchase the product from you, they reproduce more and resell them.
It's simple free enterprise. As you learned from the enclosed material,
the PRODUCT is a series of four 4 FINANCIAL AND BUSINESS REPORTS. The
information contained in these REPORTS will not only help you in making
your participation in this program more rewarding, but will be useful
to you in any other business decisions you make in the years ahead.
You are also buying the rights to reprint all of the REPORTS, which
will be ordered from you by those to whom you mail this program. The
concise one and two page REPORTS you will be buying can easily be
reproduced at a local copy center for a cost off about 3 cents a copy.
Best wishes with the program and Good Luck!
"IT WAS TRULY AMAZING"
"Not being the gambling type, it took me several weeks to make up my
mind to participate in this program. But conservative as I am, I
decided that the initial investment was so little that there was no way
that I could not get enough orders to at least get my money back. BOY,
was I ever surprised when I found my medium sized post office box
crammed with orders! I will make more money this year than any ten
years of my life before."
Mary Riceland, Lansing, MI
TIPS FOR SUCCESS
Send for your four 4 REPORTS immediately so you will have them when the
orders start coming in. When you receive a $5 order, you MUST send out
the product/service to comply with US Postal and Lottery laws. Title
18 Sections 1302 and 1341 specifically state that: "A PRODUCT OR
SERVICE MUST BE EXCHANGED FOR MONEY RECEIVED."
WHILE YOU WAIT FOR THE REPORTS TO ARRIVE:
1. Name your new company. You can use your own name if you desire.
2. Get a post office box (preferred).
3. Edit the names and addresses on the program. You must remember,
your name and address go next to REPORT #1 and the others all
move down one, with the fourth one being bumped OFF the list.
4. Obtain as many email addresses as possible to send until you
receive the information on mailing list companies in REPORT #3.
5. Decide on the number of programs you intend to send out. The
more you send, and the quicker you send them, the more money
you will make.
6. After mailing the programs, get ready to fill the orders.
7. Copy the four 4 REPORTS so you are able to sent them out as
soon as you receive an order. IMPORTANT: ALWAYS PROVIDE
SAME-DAY SERVICE ON ORDERS YOU RECEIVE!
8. Make certain the letter and reports are neat and legible.
YOUR GUARANTEE
The check point which GUARANTEES your success is simply this: you must
receive 15 to 20 orders for REPORT #1. This is a must!!! If you don't
within two weeks, email out more programs until you do. Then a couple
of weeks later you should receive at least 100 orders for REPORT #2, if
you don't, send out more programs until you do. Once you have received
100 or more orders for REPORT #2, (take a deep breath) you can sit back
and relax, because YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE AT LEAST $50,000.
Mathematically it is a proven guarantee. Of those who have
participated in the program and reached the above GUARANTEES-ALL have
reached their $50,000 goal. Also, remember, every time your name is
moved down the list you are in front of a different REPORT, so you can
keep track of your program by knowing what people are ordering from you.
IT'S THAT EASY, REALLY, IT IS!!!
REMEMBER:
"HE WHO DARES NOTHING, NEED NOT HOPE FOR ANYTHING."
"INVEST A LITTLE TIME, ENERGY AND MONEY NOW OR
SEARCH FOR IT FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE."
