>  Now, here is why the system works:
>
>  -Of every  200 posts  I made, I  received 5  responses. Yes,

>
>  -Each person who  sent you $1 now also  makes 200 additional

>  therefore, 50 people will send you  $1 with your name at #4.
>  $50.
>
>  -Your 50 new agents make 200 postings each with your name at
>  #3 or  10,000 postings.  Average return  500 people  = $500.
>  They make  200 postings  each with  your name  at #2=100,000
>  postings=5000 return at $1 each=$5000.
>
>  -Finally, 5,000 people  make 200 postings with  your name at
>  #1 and  you get a return  of $50,000 before your  name drops
>  off the list. AND THATS IF  EVERYONE DOWN THE LINE MAKES 200
>  POSTINGS! Total income in one cycle=$55,000.
>
>  From time to  time, when you see your name  no longer on the
>  list,  you  take the  latest  posting  that appears  in  the
>  newsgroups, and  send out another $5,  and put your  name at
>  #5, and start posting again. Remember,  200 postings is only
>  a guideline. the more you post, the greater the return.
>
>  Lets review why you should do this. THE ONLY COST IS $5, AND
>  5 STAMPS, AND 5 ENVELOPES.  Anyone can afford $5 for such an

>  There are  millions of internet  users, and millions  of new

>  Remember- read the instructions  carefully, and play fairly.
