Parents of 15-year-old-girl find $71K in CASH hidden in her closet
It Works, Its legal, so WHY NOT?
Parents of 15-year-old-girl find $71,000 cash hidden in her closet
Does this sound familiar? Of course it does.
You most likely have seen this story recently featured on a major nightly news
program (USA).
Her mother was cleaning and putting laundry away when she came across a large
brown paper bag that was suspiciously  buried beneath some clothes and some old
dolls in the back of her 15-year-old daughter's closet.  Nothing could have
prepared her for the shock she got when she opened the bag and found it was
full of cash.  Five dollar bills, twenties, fifties and hundreds - all neatly
rubber-banded in labeled piles.
"My first thought was that she was selling drugs.", says the 41-year-old woman,
"There was over $71,000 dollars in that bag - that's more than my husband earns
in a year".
The women immediately called her husband at work to tell him what she had
discovered.  He came home right away and they drove together to their
daughter's school and picked her up.  Little did they suspect that where the
money came from was more shocking than actually finding it in the closet.
As it turns out, the girl had been sending out via E-mail on the internet a
type of  "Chain-letter" to E-mail addressed that she obtained off of the
Internet.  Everyday after school for the past 2 months, she had been doing this
right on her computer in her bedroom.
"I just got the E-mail one day and figured what the heck, I put my name on it
like the instruction said and I strarted sending it out", say the clever
15-year old.
The E-mail letter listed 3 addresses and contained instructions to send one $5
dollar bill to the person at the top of the list, then delet that address and
move the other 2 addresses up, and finally to add your name to the bottom of
the list.  The letter goes on to state that you would receive several thousands
dollars in five dollar bills within 2 weeks if you sent the letter with your
name at the bottom of the 3-address list.  "I get junk E-mail all the time, and
really didn't think it was gonna work", the girl continues.
Within the first few days of sending out the E-mail, the Post Office Box that
her parents had gotten her for her magazine subscriptions began to fill up with
not magazines, but envelopes containing $5 dollar bills.
"About a week later I rode [my bike] down to the post office and the box had 1
magazine and about 300 envelopes stuffed in it.   There was also a yellow slip
that said I had to go up to the post office counter - I thought I was in
trouble (laughs)". She goes on, "I went up to the counter and they had a whole
box of more mail for me.  I had to ride back home and empty out my backpack
because I couldn't carry it all".
Over the next few weeks, the girl continued sending out the E-mail.  "The money
just keep coming in and I just kept sorting it and stashing it in the closet, I
barely had time for my homework".  She had also been riding her bike to sevral
of the area's banks and exchanging the $5 bill for twenties, fifties and
hundreds.  "I didn't want the banks to get suspicious so I kept riding to
different banks with like five thousand at a time in my backpack.  I would
usually tell the lady at the bank counter that my dad sent me in (to exchange
the money) and he was outside waiting for me.  One time the lady gave me a
really strange look and told me that she wouldn't be able to do it for me and
my dad would have to come in and do it, but I just rode my bike to the next
bank down the street (laughs)".
Surprising, the boy didn't have any reason to be afraid.  The reporting news
team examined and investigated the so-called 'chain-letter' the girl was
sending out and found that it wasn't a chain-letter at all.  In fact, it was
completely legal according to US Postal and Lottery Laws, Title 18, Section
1302 and 1341, or Title 18, Section 3005 in the US code, also in the code of
federal regulations, Volume 16, Sections 255 and 436, which state a product or
service must be exchanged for money received.
Every five dollar bill that she received contained a litte note that read,
"Please add me to your mailing list".  This simple note made the letter legal
because she was exchaging a service (adding the purchaser's name to his mailing
list) for a five dollar fee.
Here is the letter that the 15-year-old was sending out by E-mail, you can do
the exact same thing he was doing, simply by following the instructions in this
letter.
***************
Here are instructions on how to make $10,000 US cash in the next 2 weeks:
There are 3 addresses below.
Send the person at the top of the list a $5 bill wrapped in 2 pieces of paper
(to securely hide it), along with a note that says: "Please add me to your
mailing list" and include your E-mail.
Then delete that name, move the 2 other names up and put your name at the
bottom.
Now start sending this ENTIRE E-mail back out to people.
When 20 people receive it, those 20 people will move your name up to the middle
position and they will send out 20.  That totals 400 people that will receive
this letter with your name in the middle.
Then, those 400 people will move your name up to the top level and they will
each send out 20 E-mails.  That  totals 8,000 people that will receive this
E-mail with you name at the top and they will each send you a $5 bill.
8,000 people each sending you a $5 bill  = $40,000 cash.  That's if everyone
responds to this E-mail, but not everyone will, so you can expect more
realistically to receive about $10,000 in cash ($5 bills) in you mailbox.
This will work for anyone, anywhere in the world, in any country, but send only
a US CASH $5 bill.
The more E-mails you send out, the more cash you will receive.  If each person
sends out 100 E-mails, there will be 1,000,000 people that receive this letter
when you name reaches the top. If only 1% of those people respond, you will
still get 50,000 cash.
***********
Here is the list:
1 -S.W.P.
396 Three Forks Rd. Apt# 6
West Memphis, AR  72301
2 - Mike L.
P.O.Box 297
Okemos, MI 48805-0297
3 - R. Jay
23010 Lake Forest Drive, #411
Lake Forest, CA  92653
************
THERE'S NOTHING MORE TO DO.  When your name reaches the top in a few days, you
will start receiving $5 bill from other people just like yourself, who are
willing to invest a $5 bill to reveive $10,000 cash.
IF YOU DON'T TRY YOU WILL NEVER KNOW!!!!
