"AS SEEN ON NATIONAL TELEVISION"
 
Thank you for your time and Interest.
This is the letter you've been reading about in the news
lately.
 
Due to the popularity of this letter on the Internet,
a major nightly news program recently devoted an
entire show to the investigation of the 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.
This has helped to show people that this is a simple,
harmless and fun way to make some extra money at home.
 
The results of this show have been truly remarkable.
So many people are participating that those involved
are doing, much better than ever before.
Since everyone makes more as more people try it out,
its been very exciting to be a part of lately.
You will understand once you experience it.

MULTI-LEVEL MARKETING (MLM) has finally gained
respectability. It is being taught in the Harvard Business School,
and both Stanford Research and the Wall Street Journal
have stated that between 50% and 65% of all goods and
services will be sold through multi-level methods by the
mid to late 1990's. This is a Multi-Billion Dollar industry and of the
500,000 millionaires in the U.S., 20% (100,000) made their
fortune in the last several years in MLM. Moreover, statistics show 45
people become millionaires everyday through Multi-Level Marketing.
 
You may have heard this story before, but over the summer
Donald Trump made an appearance on the David Letterman show.
Dave asked him what he would do if he lost everything
and had to start over from scratch. Without hesitating,
Trump said he would find a good network marketing company
and get to work. The audience started to hoot and boo him.
He looked out at the audience and dead-panned his
response "That's why I'm sitting up here and you are all
sitting out there!"
 
With network marketing you have two sources of income.
 
Direct commissions from sales you make yourself and
commissions from sales made by people you introduce to the
business.
 
Residual income is the secret of the wealthy.
It means investing time or money once and getting paid
again and again and again. In network marketing,
it also means getting paid for the work of others.
 
The enclosed information is something I almost let
slip through my fingers. Fortunately, sometime later I
re-read everything and gave some thought and study to it.
 
My name is Johnathon Rourke. Two years ago, the
corporation I worked at for the past twelve years
down-sized and my position was eliminated. After unproductive job
interviews, I decided to open my own business. Over the past year, I
incurred many unforeseen financial problems. I owed my
family, friends and creditors over $35,000. The economy was taking
a toll on my business and I just couldn't seem to make ends
meet. I had to refinance and borrow against my home to support my
family and struggling business. AT THAT MOMENT something
significant happened in my life and I am writing to share the
experience in hopes that this will change your life FOREVER
FINANCIALLY!!!
 
In mid December, I received this program via e-mail.
Six month's prior to receiving this program,
I had been sending away for information on various
business opportunities. All of the programs I received, in
my opinion, were not cost effective. They were either too difficult for me
to comprehend or the initial investment was too much for me to risk to see
if they would work or not. One claimed that I would make a
million dollars in one year...it didn't tell me I'd have to
write a book to make it!
 
But like I was saying, in December of 1997 I received
this program. I didn't send for it, or ask for it,
they just got my name off a mailing list. THANK
GOODNESS FOR THAT !!! After reading it several times, to make sure
I was reading it correctly, I couldn't believe my eyes.
 
Here was a MONEY MAKING PHENOMENON.
 
I could invest as much as I wanted to start,
without putting me further into debt.
After I got a pencil and paper and figured it out,
I would at least get my money back. But like most of you I was
still a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal
aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office
(1-800-725-2161 24-hrs) and they confirmed that it is
indeed legal! After determining the program was LEGAL and NOT A
CHAIN LETTER, I decided "WHY NOT."
 
Initially I sent out 10,000 e-mails.
It cost me about $15 for my time on-line.
The great thing about e-mail is that I don't need any
money for printing to send out the program,
and because all of my orders are fulfilled via e-mail,
the only expense is my time. I am telling you like it
is, I hope it doesn't turn you off, but I promised myself
that I would not "rip-off" anyone, no matter how much money
it cost me.
 
In less than one week, I was starting to receive
orders for REPORT #1. By January 13, I had received 26
orders for REPORT #1. Your goal is to "RECEIVE at least 20 ORDERS
FOR REPORT #1 WITHIN 2 WEEKS. IF YOU DON'T, SEND OUT MORE PROGRAMS
UNTIL YOU DO!"
My first step in making $50,000 in 90 days was done. By
January 30, I had received 196 orders for REPORT #2.
Your goal is to "RECEIVE AT LEAST 100+ ORDERS FOR
REPORT #2 WITHIN 2 WEEKS. IF NOT, SEND OUT MORE PROGRAMS UNTIL
YOU DO. ONCE YOU HAVE 100 ORDERS, THE REST IS EASY,
RELAX, YOU WILL MAKE YOUR $50,000 GOAL."
Well, I had 196 orders for REPORT #2, 96 more than I
needed. So I sat back and relaxed. By March 1, of my
e-mailing of 10,000, I received $58,000 with more coming in every
day. I paid off ALL my debts and bought a much needed new
car. Please take time to read the attached program,
IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOREVER!!! Remember,
it won't work if you don't try it. This program does work,
but you must follow it EXACTLY!
Especially the rules of not trying to place your name
in a different place. It won't work, you'll lose out on a
lot of money! In order for this program to work, you must meet your
goal of 20+ orders for REPORT #1, and 100+ orders for
REPORT #2 and you will make $50,000 or more in 90 days. I AM LIVING PROOF
THAT IT WORKS!!!
 
If you choose not to participate in this program, I am
sorry. It really is a great opportunity with little cost or
 
risk to you. If you choose to participate, follow the
program and you will be on your way to financial security.
 
If you are a fellow business owner and are if financial
trouble like I was, or you want to start your own business,
consider this a sign. I DID!
Sincerely,
 
Johnathon Rourke
 
P.S. Do you have any idea what 11,700 $5 bills
($58,000) look like piled up on a kitchen table? IT'S
AWESOME!
 
A PERSONAL NOTE FROM THE ORIGINATOR OF THIS PROGRAM:
 
By the time you have read the enclosed program and
reports, you should have concluded that such a program, and
one that is legal, could not have been created by an amateur.
 
Let me tell you a little about myself. I had a
profitable business for 10 years. Then in 1979 my business
began falling off. I was doing the same things that were
previously successful for me, but it wasn't working. Finally, I
figured it out. It wasn't me, it was the economy. Inflation and
recession had replaced the stable economy that had been with us since
1945. I don't have to tell you what happened to the
unemployment rate...because many of you know from first
hand experience. There were more failures and bankruptcies than
ever before.
 
The middle class was vanishing. Those who knew what they
were doing invested wisely and moved up. Those who did not,
including those who never had anything to save or invest,
were moving down into the ranks of the poor. As the saying
goes, "THE RICH GET RICHER AND THE POOR GET POORER."
The traditional methods of making money will never allow
you to "move up" or "get rich", inflation will see to that.
 
You have just received information that can give you
financial freedom for the rest of your life, with "NO RISK"
and "JUST A LITTLE BIT OF EFFORT." You can make more money in
the next few months than you have ever imagined.
 
I should also point out that I will not see a penny of
this money, nor anyone else who has provided a testimonial
for this program. I have already made over 4 MILLION
DOLLARS! I have retired from the program after sending out over
16,000 programs. Now I have several offices that make this
and several other programs here and over seas.
 
Follow the program EXACTLY AS INSTRUCTED. Do not
change it in any way. It works exceedingly well as it is
now. Remember to e-mail a copy of this exciting report to
everyone you can think of. One of the people you send this
to may send out 50,000...and your name will be on everyone of
them! Remember though, the more you send out the more potential
customers you will reach.
 
So my friend, I have given you the ideas, information,
materials and opportunity to become financially
independent, IT IS UP TO YOU NOW!
 
************************************************************
 
"THINK ABOUT IT"
Before you delete this program from your mailbox, as I
almost did, take a little time to read it and REALLY THINK
ABOUT IT. Get a pencil and figure out what could happen when YOU
participate. Figure out the worst possible response and no matter
how you calculate it, you will still make a lot of money!
You will definitely get back what you invested. Any doubts you have
will vanish when your first orders come in. IT WORKS!

HERE'S HOW THIS AMAZING PROGRAM WILL MAKE YOU
THOUSANDS OF DOLLAR$
 
INSTRUCTIONS:
 
This method of raising capital REALLY WORKS 100%
EVERY TIME. I am sure that you could use up to $50,000
or more in the next 90 days.
 
Before you say "BULL... ", please read this program
carefully. This is not a chain letter, but a perfectly legal
money making opportunity. Basically, this is what you do: As with all
multi-level businesses, we build our business by recruiting new partners and
selling our products. Every state in the USA allows you to recruit new
multi-level business partners, and we offer a product for EVERY dollar
sent. YOUR ORDERS COME BY MAIL AND ARE FILLED BY E-MAIL,
so you are not involved in personal selling. You do it privately in your
own home, store or office.
 
This is the GREATEST Multi-Level Mail Order Marketing
anywhere:
 
This is what you MUST do:
 
1. Order all 4 reports shown on the list below
(you can't sell them if you don't order them).
 
* For each report, send $5.00 CASH, the NAME &
NUMBER OF THE REPORT YOU ARE ORDERING, YOUR E-MAIL AND
ADDRESS, YOUR NAME & RETURN ADDRESS (in case of a problem)
and to the person whose name appears on the list next to the
report.
 
MAKE SURE YOUR RETURN ADDRESS IS ON YOUR ENVELOPE
IN CASE OF ANY MAIL PROBLEMS!
 
* When you place your order, make sure you order
each of the four reports. You will need all four reports so
that you can save them on your computer and resell
them.
 
* Within a few days you will receive, via
e-mail, each of the four reports. 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.
 
2. 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 is instructed below in
steps "a"
through "f" or you will lose out on the majority of
your profits. Once you understand the way this works,
you'll also see how it doesn't work if you change it.
Remember, this method has been tested, and if you alter it,
it will not work.
 
a. Look below for the listing of available
reports.
 
b. After you've ordered the four reports, take
this Advertisement and remove the name and address
under REPORT #4. This person has made it through the
cycle and is no doubt counting their $50,000!
 
c. Move the name and address under REPORT #3 down
to REPORT #4.
 
d. Move the name and address under REPORT #2 down
to REPORT #3.
 
e. Move the name and address under REPORT #1 down
to REPORT #2.
 
f. Insert your name/address in the REPORT #1
position.
 
Please make sure you copy every name and address
ACCURATELY!
 
3. Take this entire letter, including the modified
list of names, and save it to your computer. Make NO
changes to the Instruction portion of this letter.
 
Your cost to participate in this is practically
nothing (surely you can afford $20). You obviously already
have an Internet Connection and e-mail is FREE!
 
To assist you with marketing your business on the internet,
the 4 reports you purchase will provide you with invaluable
marketing information which includes how to send bulk
e-mails, where to find thousands of free classified ads and
much, much more.
 
There are two primary methods of building your downline:
 
METHOD #1: SENDING BULK E-MAIL
 
Let's say that you decide to start small, just to see
how it goes, and we'll assume you and all those involved
send out only 2,000 programs each. Let's also assume that the
mailing receives a 0.5% response. Using a good list the response could be
much
better.
Also, many people will send out hundreds of thousands of
programs instead of 2,000. But continuing with this
example, you send out only 2,000 programs. With a 0.5% response,
that is only 10 orders for REPORT #1. Those 10 people respond by sending
out 2,000 programs each for a total of 20,000. Out of those 0.5%, 100 people
respond and order REPORT #2.
Those 100 mail out 2,000 programs each for a total of
200,000. The 0.5% response to that is 1,000 orders for
REPORT #3. Those 1,000 send out 2,000 programs each for a
2,000,000 total. The 0.5% response to that is 10,000 orders
for REPORT #4. That's 10,000 $5 bills for you. CASH!!! Your total
income in this example is $50 + $500 + $5,000+ $50,000 for
a total of $55,550!!!
 
REMEMBER FRIEND, THIS IS ASSUMING 1,990 OUT OF THE
2,000 PEOPLE YOU MAIL TO WILL DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AND
TRASH THIS PROGRAM! DARE TO THINK FOR A MOMENT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF
EVERYONE, OR HALF SENT OUT 100,000 PROGRAMS INSTEAD OF 2,000. Believe me,
many
people will do just that, and more! By the way, your cost
to participate in this is practically nothing. You obviously
already have an internet connection and e-mail is FREE !!!
 
REPORT #2 will show you the best methods for bulk
e-mailing, tell you where to obtain free bulk e-mail
software and
where to obtain e-mail lists.
 
METHOD #2 - PLACING FREE ADS ON THE INTERNET
 
1. Advertising on the 'Net is very, very inexpensive,
and there are HUNDREDS of FREE places to advertise.
Let's say you decide to start small just to see how
well it works. Assume your goal is to get ONLY 10 people to
 
participate on your first level. (Placing a lot of FREE ads
on the internet will EASILY get a larger response.) Also assume
that everyone else in YOUR ORGANIZATION gets ONLY 10 downline
members.
 
Follow this example to achieve the STAGGERING results
below:
 
1st level-your 10 members with $5.........$50
2nd level-10 members from those 10 ($5 x 100).......$500
3rd level-10 members from those 100 ($5 x 1,000) $5,000
4th level-10 members from those 1,000 ($5 x 10k) $50,000
 
THIS TOTALS ---------------------------$55,550
 
Remember friends, this assumes that the people who
participate only recruit 10 people each. Think for a moment what would
happen if they got 20 people to participate! Most people get 100's
of participants!
 
THINK ABOUT IT!
 
For every $5.00 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't advertise until
they receive the report!
 
------------------------------------------
AVAILABLE REPORTS

******* TIPS FOR SUCCESS *******
 
* TREAT THIS AS YOUR BUSINESS! Be prompt, professional,
and follow the directions accurately.
 
* Send for the four reports IMMEDIATELY so you will have
them when the orders start coming in because:
 
When you receive a $5 order, you MUST send out the
requested product/report.
 
* ALWAYS PROVIDE SAME-DAY SERVICE ON THE ORDERS YOU
RECEIVE.
 
* Be patient and persistent with this program. If you
follow the instructions exactly, your results WILL BE
SUCCESSFUL!
 
* ABOVE ALL, HAVE FAITH IN YOURSELF AND KNOW YOU WILL
SUCCEED!
 
******* YOUR SUCCESS GUIDELINES *******
 
Follow these guidelines to guarantee your success:
 
If you don't receive 20 orders for REPORT #1 within
two weeks, continue advertising or sending e-mails until
you do.
Then, a couple of weeks later you should receive at
least 100 orders for REPORT#2. If you don't, 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 continue to roll in!
 
THIS IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER:
 
Every time your name is moved down on 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 e-mails or continue placing
ads and start the whole process again! There is no limit to
the income you will generate from this business!

My name is Mitchell. My wife, Jody, and I live in Chicago,
IL. I am a cost accountant with a major U.S. Corporation
and I make pretty good money. When I received the 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 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 two weeks she had received over 50 responses. Within 45 days
she had received over $147,200 in $5 bills! I was shocked! I
was sure that I had it all figured and that it wouldn't work. I AM a
believer now. I have joined Jody in her "hobby." I did have seven
more years until retirement, but I think of the "rat race" and it's not for
me. We owe it all to MLM.

The main reason for this letter is to convince you
that this system is honest, lawful, extremely profitable,
and is a way to get a large amount of money in a short time. I was
 
approached several times before I checked this out. I
joined just to see what one could expect in return for the minimal
effort and money required. To my astonishment, I received $36,470.00 in the
first 14 weeks, with money still coming in.

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 at least get my money back. Boy,
was I surprised when I found my medium-size post
office box crammed with orders! For awhile, it got so
overloaded that I had to start picking up my mail at the
window. I'll make more money this year than any 10
years of my life before. The nice thing about this deal is
that it doesn't matter where people live. There simply isn't a
better investment with a faster return.

I had received this program before. I deleted it,
but later I wondered if I shouldn't have given it a try. Of
 
course, I had no idea who to contact to get another copy,
so I had to wait until I was e-mailed another program,
..11 months passed then it came...I didn't delete this
one!...I made more than $41,000 on the first try!!

This is my third time to participate in this plan. We
have quit our jobs, and will soon buy a home on the beach
and live off the interest on our money. The only way on
earth that this plan will work for you is if you do it. For your
sake, and for your family's sake don't pass up this golden
opportunity. Good luck and happy spending!
