    get fast cash?

    Make easy money! Guaranteed!!
    His mother was cleaning and putting laundry away when she came across a large brown
    paper bag that was suiously buried beneath some clothes and a skateboard in the back
    of her 15-year-old son'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 he had robbed a bank", 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 woman immediately called her husband at the car-dealership where he worked to tell
    him what she'd discovered. He came home right away and they drove together to the boy's
    school and picked him 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 boy had been
    sending out via E-mail on the Internet a type of 'chain-letter' to E-mail addresses that he
    obtained off of the Internet. Everyday after school for the past 2 months, he had been
    doing this right on his computer in his bedroom. "I just got the E-mail one day and I
    figured what the heck, I put my name on it like the instructions said and I started sending
    it out", says 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 delete 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 thousand dollars in five
    dollar bills within 2 weeks if you sent out the letter with your name at the bottom of the
    3-address list "I get junk E-mail all the time, and I really didn't think it was gonna work",
    the boy continues. Within the first few days of sending out the E-mail, the Post Office
    Box that his parents had gotten him for his video-game 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 my 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 or something (laughs)". He 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 'cause I couldn't carry it all". Over the next few
    weeks, the boy continued sending out the E-mail. "The money just kept coming in and I
    just kept sorting it and stashing it in the closet, I barely had time for my homework". He
    had also been riding his bike to several of the area's banks and exchanging the $5 bills for
    twenties, fifties and hundreds. "I didn't want the banks to get suious 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 had 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 to the next bank down the street (laughs)."
    Surprisingly, the boy didn't have any reason to be afraid. The reporting news team
    examined and investigated the so-called 'chain-letter' the boy 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 he received contained a little note that read, "Please add me to your mailing list".
    This simple note made the letter legal because he was exchanging a service (adding the
    purchasers 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 listed 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".
    Then delete that name, move the other 2 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 each 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 and they will each send out 20
    E-mails. That totals 8,000 people that will receive this E-mail with your 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 cash $5 bills in your 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 your name
    reaches the top. If only 1% of those people respond, you will still get $50,000 cash.
    ***REMEMBER, if you don't ask for the service, USE OF THIS LETTER WILL BE
    FOR YOU.
    Here is the list:

    2. Ambrose Costanzo

    Houston, TX 77057

    3. Justin Welenofsky
    106 Barrows Way
    Folsom, CA 95630
    ----------------------------------------------------------

    THERE'S NOTHING MORE TO DO. When your name reaches the top in a few days,
    you will start receiving $5 bills from other people just like yourself, who are willing to
    invest a $5 bill to receive $10,000 cash. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
    In the spirit of FUN, let's play....
