Send a Report Pyramid
June 2000
This particular pyramid scheme has been making the rounds of the
Internet for many years. It is a good example of an illegal pyramid
scheme that is trying to get around the law by "selling" you something
for your money instead of simply telling you to send money to the person
at the top of the list. Even though an item changes hands, this is still
an illegal pyramid scheme. See top.

Before you say ''Bull'' , please read the following. This is the letter
you have been hearing about on the news lately. Due to the popularity
of this letter on the internet, a national weekly news program recently
devoted an entire show to the investigation of this program described
below , to see if it really can make people money.
The show also investigated whether or not the program was legal. Their
findings proved once and for all that there are ''absolutely NO. Laws
prohibiting the participation in the program and if people can follow
the simple instructions, they are bound to make some mega bucks with
only $25 out of pocket cost''.
DUE TO THE RECENT INCREASE OF POPULARITY & RESPECT THIS PROGRAM HAS
ATTAINED, IT IS CURRENTLY WORKING BETTER THAN EVER.
This is what one had to say: '' Thanks to this profitable
opportunity. I was approached many times before but each time I passed
on it. I am so glad I finally joined just to see what one could expect
in return for the minimal effort and money required. To my astonishment,
I received total $ 610,470.00 in 21 weeks, with money still coming
in''. Pam Hedland, Fort Lee, New Jersey.

Here is another testimonial:
'''This program has been around for a long time but I never believed in
it. But one day when I received this again in the mail I decided to
gamble my $25 on it. I followed the simple instructions and walaa .....
3 weeks later the money started to come in. First month I only made
$240.00 but the next 2 months after that I made a total of $290,000.00.
So far, in the past 8 months by re-entering the program, I have made
over $710,000.00 and I am playing it again. The key to success in this
program is to follow the simple steps and NOT change anything .''

!!! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
FOLLOW THE SIMPLE INSTRUCTION BELOW AND YOUR FINANCIAL DREAMS WILL COME
TRUE, GUARANTEED !
INSTRUCTIONS: **** Order all 5 reports shown on the list below.
**** For each report, send $5 CASH, THE NAME & NUMBER OF THE REPORT YOU
ARE ORDERING and YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS to the person whose name appears
ON THAT LIST next to the report. MAKE SURE YOUR RETURN ADDRESS IS ON
YOUR ENVELOPE TOP LEFT CORNER in case of any mail problems.
**** When you place your order, make sure you order each of the 5
reports. You will need all 5 reports so that you can save them on your
computer and resell them. YOUR TOTAL COST $5 X 5 = $25.00.
**** Within a few days you will receive, vie e-mail, each of the 5
reports from these 5 different individuals. Save them on your computer
so they will be accessible for you to send to the 1,000's of people who
will order them from you. Also make a floppy of these reports and keep
it on your desk in case something happen to your computer.
**** IMPORTANT __ DO NOT alter the names of the people who are listed
next to each report, or their sequence on the list, in any way other
than what is instructed below in step '' 1 through 6 '' or you will
loose out on majority of your profits. Once you understand the way this
works, you will also see how it does not work if you change it.
Remember, this method has been tested, and if you alter, it will NOT
work!!! People have tried to put their friends/relatives names on all
five thinking they could get all the money. But it does not work this
way. Believe us, we all have tried to be greedy and then nothing
happened. So Do Not try to change anything other than what is
instructed. Because if you do, it will not work for you. Remember,
honesty reaps the reward!!!
1.... After you have ordered all 5 reports, take this advertisement and
REMOVE the name & address of the person in REPORT # 5. This person has
made it through the cycle and is no doubt counting their fortune.
2.... Move the name & address in REPORT # 4 down TO REPORT # 5.
3.... Move the name & address in REPORT # 3 down TO REPORT # 4.
4.... Move the name & address in REPORT # 2 down TO REPORT # 3.
5.... Move the name & address in REPORT # 1 down TO REPORT # 2
6.... Insert YOUR name & address in the REPORT # 1 Position.
PLEASE MAKE SURE you copy every name & address ACCURATELY !
=========================================================
**** Take this entire letter, with the modified list of names, and save
it on your computer. DO NOT MAKE ANY OTHER CHANGES. Save this on a disk
as well just in case if you loose any data.
**** To assist you with marketing your business on the internet, the 5
reports you purchase will provide you with invaluable marketing
information which includes how to send bulk e-mails legally, where to
find thousands of free classified ads and much more.
There are 2 Primary methods to get this venture going:
METHOD # 1 : BY SENDING BULK E-MAIL LEGALLY
============================================ let's say that you decide
to start small, just to see how it goes, and we will assume You and
those involved send out only 5,000 e-mails each. Let's also assume that
the mailing receive only a 0.2% response (the response could be much
better but lets just say it is only 0.2% . Also many people will send
out hundreds of thousands e-mails instead of only 5,000 each).
Continuing with this example, you send out only 5,000 e-mails. With a
0.2% response, that is only 10 orders for report # 1. Those 10 people
responded by sending out 5,000 e-mail each for a total of 50,000. Out of
those 50,000 e-mails only 0.2% responded with orders. That's = 100
people responded and ordered Report # 2. Those 100 people mail out 5,000
e-mails each for a total of 500,000 e-mails. The 0.2% response to that
is 1000 orders for Report # 3. Those 1000 people send out 5,000 e-mails
each for a total of 5 million e-mails sent out. The 0.2% response to
that is 10,000 orders for Report # 4. Those 10,000 people send out 5,000
e-mails each for a total of 50,000,000 (50 million) e-mails. The 0.2%
response to that is 100,000 orders for Report # 5
THAT'S 100,000 ORDERS TIMES $5 EACH = $500,000.00 (half million).
Your total income in this example is: 1..... $50 + 2..... $500
+ 3..... $5,000 + 4..... $50,000 + 5..... $500,000 .........
Grand Total = $555,550.00
NUMBERS DO NOT LIE. GET A PENCIL & PAPER AND FIGURE OUT THE WORST
POSSIBLE RESPONSES AND NO MATTER HOW YOU CALCULATE IT, YOU WILL STILL
MAKE A LOT OF MONEY !
--------------------------------------------------------------------
REMEMBER FRIEND, THIS IS ASSUMING ONLY 10 PEOPLE ORDERING OUT OF 5,000
YOU MAILED TO. Dare to think for a moment what would happen if everyone,
or half or even one 4th of those people mailed 100,000 e-mails each or
more? There are over 150 million people on the internet worldwide and
counting. Believe me, many people will do just that, and more!
METHOD # 2 : BY PLACING FREE ADS ON THE INTERNET
=================================================== Advertising on the
net is very very inexpensive and there are hundreds of FREE places to
advertise. Placing a lot of free ads on the internet will easily get a
larger response. We strongly suggest you start with Method # 1 and add
METHOD # 2 as you go along.
For every $5 you receive, all you must do is e-mail them the Report they
ordered. That's it . Always provide same day service on all orders. This
will guarantee that the e-mail they send out, with your name and address
on it, will be prompt because they can not advertise until they receive
the report. ________________ AVAILABLE REPORTS
________________________ ORDER EACH REPORT BY ITS NUMBER & NAME ONLY.
Notes: Always send $5 cash (U.S. CURRENCY) for each Report. Checks NOT
accepted. Make sure the cash is concealed by wrapping it in atleast 2
sheets of paper. On one of those sheets of paper, Write the NUMBER & the
NAME of the Report you are ordering, YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS and your name
and postal address.

weeks, continue sending e-mails until you do.
*** After you have received 10 orders, 2 to 3 weeks after that you
should receive 100 orders or more for REPORT # 2. If you did not,
continue advertising or sending e-mails until you do.
*** Once you have received 100 or more orders for Report # 2, YOU CAN
RELAX, because the system is already working for you , and the cash will

the list, you are placed in front of a Different report. You can KEEP
TRACK of your PROGRESS by watching which report people are ordering
from you. IF YOU WANT TO GENERATE MORE INCOME SEND ANOTHER BATCH OF

income you can generate from this business !!!

************** MORE TESTIMONIALS ****************
'' My name is Mitchell. My wife , Jody and I live in Chicago. I am an
accountant with a major U.S. Corporation and I make pretty good money.
When I received this program I grumbled to Jody about receiving ''junk
mail''. I made fun of the whole thing, spouting my knowledge of the
population and percentages involved. I ''knew'' it wouldn't work. Jody
totally ignored my supposed intelligence and few days later she jumped
in with both feet. I made merciless fun of her, and was ready to lay the
old ''I told you so'' on her when the thing didn't work. Well, the laugh
was on me! Within 3 weeks she had received 50 responses. Within the next
45 days she had received total $ 147,200.00 ........... all cash! I
was shocked. I have joined Jody in her ''hobby''. Mitchell Wolf, M.D.
, Chicago, Illinois
------------------------------------------------------------
'' Not being the gambling type, it took me several weeks to make up my
mind to participate in this plan. But conservative that I am, I decided
that the initial investment was so little that there was just no way
that I wouldn't get enough orders to atleast get my money back''. '' I
was surprised when I found my medium size post office box crammed with
orders. I made $319,210.00 in the first 12 weeks. The nice thing about
this deal is that it does not matter where people live. There simply
isn't a better investment with a faster return and so big''. Dan
Sondstrom, Alberta, Canada
-----------------------------------------------------------
'' I had received this program before. I deleted it, but later I
wondered if I should have given it a try. Of course, I had no no idea
who to contact to get another copy, so I had to wait until I was
e-mailed again by someone else.........11 months passed then it luckily
came again...... I did not delete this one! I made more than $490,000
on my first try and all the money came within 22 weeks''. Susan De
Suza, New York, N.Y.
----------------------------------------------------
'' It really is a great opportunity to make relatively easy money with
little cost to you. I followed the simple instructions carefully and
within 10 days the money started to come in. My first month I made $ 20,
560.00 and by the end of third month my total cash count was $
362,840.00. Life is beautiful, Thanx to internet''. Fred Dellaca,
Westport, New Zealand
