 Fellow Debtor:
 This is going to sound like a con, but in fact IT WORKS!  The person
who is now #8 on the list was #9 when I got it, which was only a few
days ago. Five dollars is a small investment in your future.  Forget the
lottery for a week, and give this a try.  It can work for ALL of us.
You can edit this list with a word processor or text editor and then
convert to a text file.
                                   Good Luck!!
 Dear Friend:
 My name is Dave Rhodes.  In September 1988 my car was repossessed 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 pressures of failure was my computer and my modem.  I longed to
turn my advocation into my vocation.
 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
bulletin boards in place of the post office and electronically did by
computer what others were doing 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 of 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 over 50,000.00 dollars IN CASH. [1]  Immediately mail $1.00 to
the first 5 names listed below, starting at number 1 through number 5.
SEND CASH ONLY. (Total investment: $5.00)  Enclose a note with each letter
stating: "Please add my name to your mailing list".  Include your name and
mailing address.  (This is a legitimate service that you are requesting
and you are paying $1.00 for this service.)
 [2]  Remove the name that appears as number 1 on the list.  Move the
other 9 names up one position (Number 2 becomes number 1, number 3
becomes number 2, and so on).  Place your name, address, and zip
code in the number 10 position.
 [3]  With your name in the number 10 position, upload this ENTIRE file
to 15 (Fifteen) different bulletin boards.  You may post it to the
BBS's message base or to the file section.  Name it FASTCASH.TXT,
and use the file description comments to draw attention to this
file and its great potential for all of us.
 [4]  Within 60 days you will receive over $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.  People will be
sending YOU $1.00 to be placed on your mailing list.
 This list can then be rented to a broker that can be found in your
local yellow pages listings for additional income on a regular basis.
The list will become more valuable as it grows in size.
 This is a service.  **  IT IS PERFECTLY LEGAL  **
 If you have any doubts as to the legality of this service, please refer
to Title 18, Sections 1302 and 1341 of the Postal Lottery Laws.
 NOTE:  Make sure that you retain EVERY name and address sent to you,
either on computer or hard copy, but do not discard the names and
notes that people send to you.  This is PROOF that you are truly providing
a service, and should the I.R.S. 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 memebers will be reimbursed for their participation as a
List Developer with $1.00 each.  Your name will move up the list
geometrically so that when your name reaches the number 5 position you
will be receiving thousands of dollars in cash.
 REMEMBER  -  THIS PROGRAM FAILS ONLY IF YOU ARE NOT HONEST  -  PLEASE!!
PLEASE BE HONORABLE...IT DOES WORK!  THANK YOU.

 The following letter was written by a participating member in this
program.

**************************************************************************
 To those with the COMMON sense to participate in this easy money
opportunity:
 About six months ago I received the enclosed post in letter form.  I
ignored it.  I received about five more of the same letter within the
next two week.  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 bulletin board in Montreal.  I liked the idea of giving it a try
with my computer.  I didn't expect much be ause I figured, if other
people were as skeptical as I, they would not be too quick to part with
$5.00.  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 $1.00 in each as directed. Two weeks went by and I didn't
receive anything in the mail.  The fourth week rolled around and I
couldn'tebelieve what happened!  I can not say that I received
$50,000.00, but it was definitely well over $35,000.00!  For the first
time in 10 years I got out of debt.  It was great.  Of course, it did
not take me long to go through my earnings, so I am using this excellent
money making 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 this really does
work!

                                                        Good Luck,
                                                        Charles Kust

REMEMBER--We were ALL skeptical at first...now, we are in the $$$!!!

 Try it...be one of the smart ones!

***Comment***
It was mentioned that this program will only work if each individual who
implements it is honest.  If you look closely at the program, you will see
why this is true.  Starting out at tenth on the list, you allow for more
circulation of the list.  By the time you get to fifth on the list, a large
number of the list will have been circulated, increasing the money receive.
 If you are dishonest and put your name, say, fifth on the list, the
circulation of the list with your name in a money position will decrease
tremendously, resulting in less money.  Simple reasoning.  Be honest!!!
