Make Money fast and easy

A while back, I was browsing these newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars in CASH within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00 plus stamps!
So I thought, "Yeah, right, this must be a scam!" I had heard of these before but never had the nerve to try it. But like most of us I was curious and kept reading. It said that if you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and addresses listed in the article, you could make thousands in a very short period of time.
You then place your own name and address at the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article to at least 300 newsgroups. (There are about 32,000 of them out there and that's quite a large market pool). No catch, that was it.
Even though the investment was a measly $6, I had three questions that needed to be answered before I could get involved in this sort of thing:
1. IS THIS REALLY LEGAL? I called a lawyer first. The lawyer was a little skeptical that I would actually make any CASH but he said it WAS LEGAL if I wanted to try it. I told him it sounded a lot like a chain letter but the details of the system (SEE
BELOW) actually made it a legitimate legal business.
2. IS OK WITH THE POST OFFICE OR IS IT MAIL FRAUD? I called them: 1-800-725-2161 and they confirmed THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! (See 18, h sections 1302 NS 1341 of Postal Lottery Laws). This clarifies the program of collecting names and addresses for a mailing list.
3. IS IT RIGHT? Well, everyone who sends me a buck has a good chance of getting A LOT of CASH ... a much better chance than buying a lottery ticket!!!
So, having these questions answered, I invested the six $1.00 bills and six postage stamps ... and boy I’m glad I did!!!
You may want to make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it, as you need it. I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you will start making more CASH than you thought possible by doing
something so easy! Read this entire message carefully! (Print it out or download it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the CASH come in!
You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business your product is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the CASH made from the mailing lists is secondary to the income, which is made from people like you and me asking to be included in that list. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it!
NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you, either on a computer or hard copy and keeps the notes people send you. This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. Please remember to declare your extra income on your income tax forms. Build your mailing list, keep good accounts, declare the income and pay your taxes. By doing this you prove your business intentions.

Here are the 3 easy steps to success:
STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of
paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope, to prevent thievery (it might be a good idea to wrap the $1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail theft). Place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00 bill.
Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:

#1) Ethan Camba
832 Monterey Rd. Glendale, CA 91206
#2) Jim Velesz, Jr.
13009 Aderman Court Woodbridge, VA 22192
#3) Greyvin Granados
#259 900 Walnut Creek, Suite 100 Mansfield, TX 76063
#4) Josie Jayne
3908 N FM 157 Venus, TX 76084
#5) PINAR KILICHAN
7138 Saranac St. #23, La Mesa, CA 91941
#6) Laurie Arevalo
1013 Greenbrae Drive Sparks, Nevada 89431

STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc.) and add YOUR Name as number 6 on the list.
STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least 300 newsgroups. (I think there are close to 32,000 groups) All you need is 300, but remember, the more you post, the more CASH you make! Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need CASH, you can use it again, and again.
PLEASE REMEMBER: This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully adhering to the directions. Look at it this way. If you are a person of integrity, the program will continue and the CASH
that so many others have received will come your way. You don't need to cheat the basic idea to make the CASH!!
So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed, six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 position you will be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What an opportunity for only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six people listed above) Send it now, add your own name to the list and you're in business!
DIRECTIONS FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS
Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your cursor to the bottom of this letter, and select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the computer's memory.
Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the list.
Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your postings in different settings, you'll always have this file to go back to.
Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.)
Step 5) Visit this message boards and post this article as a new message by
highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group, click the post message button. You're done with your first
one! Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! **REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE
MORE CASH YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 300**
That's it! You will begin receiving CASH from around the world within days! You may eventually want to rent a P.O.Box due to the large amount of mail you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT. **
Now the WHY part: Out of 300 postings, say I receive only 7 replies (a very low example). So then I made $7.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 7 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 300 postings, each with
my name at #5 and only 7 persons respond to each of the 7 original 7, that is another $49.00 for me, now those 49 each make 300 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 7 replies each, I will bring in an additional $343.00! Now, those 343 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 300 with my name at #3 and only receive 7 replies each, I will make an additional $2401.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 2401 persons post a MINIMUM 300 letters with my name at #2 and they each only receive 7 replies, that just made me $16,807.00!!! Those 16807 persons will all deliver this message to 300 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 7 persons per 300 Newsgroups react I will receive $117,649.00! With an original investment of only $6.00! And some stamps. AMAZING!
When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is: do you realize that
thousands of people all over the world are joining the internet and reading these articles everyday? JUST LIKE YOU are now!!
So, can you afford $6.00 and see if it really works?? I think so...People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the CASH? So what! What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual internet.
Keep an eye on the newsgroups and when the cash has stopped coming (that means your name is no longer on the list), you just take the latest posting at the newsgroups, send another $6.00 to the names stated on the list, make your corrections (put your name at #6) and start posting again.
NOTES:
*1. In some countries, the export of the country's exchange is illegal. But you can get the license to do this from the post office, explaining the above statements (that you have an online business, etc. You may have to pay an extra tax, but that's OK, the amount of the incoming CASH is HUGE! And as I said, a few countries have that restriction.
*2. You may want to buy mailing and e-mail lists for future CASH. (Or Database or Spreadsheet software.)
*3. If you're really not sure or still think this can't be for real, please print a copy of this article and give it to someone who really needs the CASH, and see what happens.
*4. You will start getting responses within 1-2 weeks, it depends. ***ALSO REMEMBER*** SEND YOUR $1 OUT TO EVERYONE ON THE LIST, EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT FROM THE U.S. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR???

Humbucker guitar or 3 single coiled pickups for jazz/blues and rock

I am thinking of getting a Fender Standard Mexican Fat Strat becasue i am planing to play the guitar for my school jazz band. I was looking for adive to see if i should get a fat srtat(humbucker) or just get a standars strat withot a humbucker. They play some soft jazz and blues and songs around that area. I heard them play "do the hustle"(by Van McCoy) and some other songs like that. I would appreciate it if anyone culd help me!!!

Re: Humbucker guitar or 3 single coiled pickups for jazz/blues and rock

I would recomend that you get a strat with 3 single coil pickups because they give you more of a blues jazzy sound. If you use a humbucker it will give you a more heavy rock sound. You can still get one with a humbucker but set the selector switch so only the two single coil pickups pickup the sound. So than you will have a guitar for jazz and rock. That is if you want a fender. For the best blues/jaz sound i would recommend a Gibson es-335, But those are pretty pricey. Hope this helps.

Metallica advice

If anyone has questions about metallica. I'm pretty sure i will know the answer so e-mail me if you have any questions about the gear or the sound they get. or just questions in general.

Re: Metallica advice

: If anyone has questions about metallica. I'm pretty sure i will know the answer so e-mail me if you have any questions about the gear or the sound they get. or just questions in general.

Hi!
I have a 15 year old who is a budding bass player and currently has a Samick L1100(?), an Alverez and an Explorer.

I'm thinking of getting him a new bass for his birthday and I would appreciate any advice on something special.

He is an avid Metallica fan and showing some promise as a player.

Thanx!

Re: Metallica advice

Well I would suggest that if he likes older metallica that you might wanna get him a "rickenbacker 4003" those are rather expensive though they run around $1,500. That is the bass that Cliff used. He used a big muff distortion and a morley wah pedal to get the tone he used. Newstead used the same effects. I'm not sure what bass he uses or used but i hope this helps some, A really nice bass is a ernie ball music man stringray 4-string or 5-string, both great basses, those in the $1,000's, if you want a good bass for cheap i would say a spector those are about $500 or so.

unfortunately, studios are the only places to find the "true" sound of these albums. from seeing metallica live, there best sound has been found on recordings.

Guitar Books

I'm a Classical and Jazz player, but my students want popular songs with guitar riffs, from other generas. Any book recommendations?

Re: Guitar Books

I would recommend the "learning in the style of" collections. I'm not sure if they have books but they defitely have videos. They are excellent

the great gnw give away, question

What if you only have 2 of the token things, i got the ones for issue numbers 146 and 147.

Poor Playing

I have been playing for 2 yrs now I can play a few songs (or thought I could). When I hear other people playing it sound a lot better I have asked them why and they say they alternate what strings they hit on each strum. Is there any more info on how to do this

Cheers
