While I was clearing out some old junk mail, I came across something that I thought Eater would be interested in.

Dear Friend,

Greetings! Hopefully my name is still on the list below. I am a retired Attorney, and about two years ago a man came to me with a letter. The letter he brought me is basically the same letter you have in your hands. He asked me to verify the fact that what this letter recommends doing is legal. I told him I would review it and get back to him. When I first read the letter I thought it was some off-the-wall idea to make money. A week and a half later we met in my office to discuss the issue. I told him the letter he originally brought to me was not 100% legal. My client asked me to alter the letter so as to make everything OK. I advised him to make a small change in the letter and it would be all right.

I was still curious about the letter so he told me how it works. I thought it was a long shot so I decided against participating, but before my client left I asked him to keep me updated as to his results. About two months later he called me to tell me he had received over $800,000.00 in cash! I didn't believe him so he asked me to try his idea and find out for myself. I thought about it for a couple of days and decided I didn't really have anything to lose, so I asked him for a copy of the letter. I followed the instructions exactly, mailed out 200 copies, and sure enough the money started arriving! It came in slowly at first, but after three weeks I was getting more mail than I could open in a day! After about three months the money stopped coming. I kept a precise record of my earnings and at the end it totaled $968,493.00!!

I was earning a good living as a Lawyer, but as anyone in the legal profession will tell you, there is a lot of stress that comes with the job. I told myself if things worked out I would retire from my practice and play golf. I decided to try the letter again, but this time I sent 500 letters out. Well, three months later I had totaled $2,344,178.00!!! I just couldn't believe it. I met with my old client for lunch to find out how it worked. He told me there are quite a few similar letters going around. What made this one different was was the fact that there are six names on the letter, not five like most others. That fact alone results in your name being on far more returns. The other factor was the help I gave him making sure the whole things was perfectly legal, since nobody wants to risk doing anything illegal.

I bet by now you are curious to know what little change I told him to make. Well, if you sent a letter like this out, to be legal you must actually sell something if you expect to receive a dollar. I told him anyone sending a dollar back to him must receive something in return. So when you send in a dollar to each of the six people on the list, you must include a slip of paper with the words "Please put me on your mailing list" and include your mailing address. You do not need to include your name. This is the key to the program! The item you will receive for the dollar you send to the six names below is this letter and the right to earn thousands.
Follow the simple instructions below and in less than three months you will receive over $800,000.00!!

1. Immediately send $ 1.00 to each of the six people on the list below. Wrap the dollar bill in the note saying, "please add me to your mailing list".

2. Remove the name next to # 1 on the list and move the rest of the manes up one position. Then place your name on the # 6 spot. This is best done by typing a new list and taping or gluing it over the old one.

3. When you have completed the above instructions, take this page to a copy store to make (200) or more copies. The more you send out the better your results!

4. Order 200 or more names from a mailing list company. The two that have been most effective for these lists are:

[companies and addresses redacted]

5. While waiting for your list to arrive, place your copies in envelopes and stamp and seal them DO NOT PUT YOUR RETURN ADDRESS ON THE ENVELOPES! This will only peak [sic] the curiosity of the receiver.

6. When your mailing list arrives place a label on each of your envelopes and drop them in the mailbox. Within 90 days you will receive over $800,000.00 in cash!!!!!! [What was it Pterry said about six exclamation points again?]

7. Keep a copy of this letter so that you can use it a second time. Mail it out again in about six months, but mail it to the addresses you received with each dollar. It will work again, only much better!

This is a service and is 100% legal (refer to TITLE 18, section 1302 and 1342 of the U.S. Postal and Lottery laws).

BE sure to mail $1.00 to each of the names on the list below!

[names redacted. Format: 1 A.B.C. 1234 Example St. Example City XX 00000]

Here's how the system works:
Assume, for example, that you get a 7.5% return rate, which is very conservative. My first attempt was about 9.5%, and my second over 11%.

1. When you send out 200 letters, 15 people will send you $1.00. $15.00
2. Those 15 mail out 200 letters each, and 225 people will send $1.00. $225.00
3. Those 225 mil out 200 letters each, and 3375 people will send $1.00 $3,375.00
4. Those 3375 ail out 200 letters each, and 50,625 people will send $1.00 $50,625
5. Those 50625 mail out 200 letters each, and 759,375 people send $1.00 $759,375.00

At this point, your name drops off the list, but so far you have received: $813,615.00!!!!!

It works every time, but how well depends on how many letters you send out. In the above example you mailed 200 letters out. If you would have mailed 500 letters you would have received $2,006,917.00!!!!! Check the math yourself, but I guarantee it's correct! Wth this kind of return you've got to do it! Try it once and you'll do it again! Just make sure you send a $1.00 to each of the six names on the list with a note to be added to their mailing list. Together we will all prosper!!!!

GOOD LUCK!

P.S. May God Bless you and your families!

^ That is an old one. Very Happy

Since I only play an attorney in baits, I don't know the legalities of it, but it's nothing we mess with here.

Very old pyramid scam. The chain letter format has been around for years and started in hard copy. It is also illegal in a number of US states.

In any case, not AFF and not baitable.
