Money From Family Recipes
 
Thanks for your interest! PLEASE don't be fooled by
all of those "add me to your mailing list" scams which
promise huge returns.
 
THIS IS NOT ILLEGAL...NOT A CHAIN LETTER - PERFECTLY
LEGITIMATE!
 
This was researched to make sure we weren't violating
any laws (US Code, Title 18: Section 1302, 1343 and
Title 39, Section 3005).  The key to this is that we
are E-Mailing an actual product...OUR TREASURED FAMILY
RECIPES.
 
Obviously if you are not interested, please ignore
this.  But if you know of someone that may be
interested, pass this article on.  Just think, $10,000
in 30 days is a reachable goal!  WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO
LOSE?

Follow these instructions exactly and you could make
enough money to pay the bills.  This program WORKS!
Take your time and read this article completely to the
end.  only you will regret not participating and just
think of the fabulous recipes you'll receive also.
 
WHAT TO DO?
 
The procedure is very simple.  Sell your favorite
family recipe for $1 each for everyone who requests a
copy.  Neiman Marcus charged $250 for their chocalate
chip cookie recipe.  And what makes their recipe
better than yours?  Follow the easy 4 step process
noted below...
 
STEP 1.  Write your E-Mail address on 5 separate
pieces of paper along with the name of the family
recipe you are purchasing (listed beside the name).
Enclose $1 cash inside each of the pieces of paper and
mail them to the following addresses:

Address                   Family Recipes
 
1. P. Barnes              Festive Holiday Twist
   PO Box 20284
   Macon, GA 31205
 
2. P.Bosse                Tasty Kentucky Bourbon Wings
   996 Portminster Ct.
   Newmarket, ON
   L3X 1L9 Canada
 
3. G. Cheramie            Pillow Case Cookies
   16040 West Main
   CutOff, LA 70345
 
4. S. Gephart             Amaretto Fudge Balls
   110 Cypress Station, #153
   Houston, TX 77090

5. S. Hemsley             Marshmallow Coconut Salad
   3763 So 700 West, #12
   Salt Lake City, UT 84119

STEP 2.  Now, remove the 1st name on the list, move
the other 4 names up (5 becomes 4, 4 becomes 3, etc.)
and put your name, address and favorite family recipe
as number 5 on the list.  You can do this by re-typing
this article or simpley editing and reposting it in
this or another newsgroup.
 
STEP 3.  Post your amended article to at least 200
newsgroups (there are over 23,000).  The more the
better.  You are now in the Mail Order Business and
you will start receiving $1 returns by mail within a
week or two.  Remember, the more newsgroups you post
to, the bigger your return will be.
 
STEP 4.  When the money begins coming to your Address,
send your family recipe to the E-Mail address provided
by each purchaser.  You now own A SMALL HOME-OPERATED
BUSINESS!
 
HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS:

Of every 200 postings, you receive an average of 6
replies, YES - ONLY or roughly 3% response, each with
$1 enclosed.  You make $6 with your name at number 5.

Each person who sent you $1, now reposts this article
to approximately 200 additional newsgroups with your
name at number 4, (i.e. 1200 postings), approximately
36 people will order your recipe. You make $36 more.

These 36 post to approximately 200 more newsgroups
with your name at number 3 - average orders 220.  You
make $220, etc.

Finally, with your name at the number 1 spot,
approximately 1350 people are posting and your return
now is around $8100.  Once your name if bumped, find a
more recent posting and start the cycle again with
maybe another tantilizing family recipe.  AGAIN, WHAT
DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE?
 
The only thing I can say now is to stop wondering why
this won't work.  It is way to simple for there to be
any catch.  You are providing a legitimate item for
purchase...you actually get something for something.
Be honest if this is to work for you.  Start now what
are you waiting for?

GOOD FORTUNE!
