This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/zU.2ADE/470 Message Board Post: Here is a chance to get a lot of money with no costs whatsoever, and no obligations. Why not read the rest of this amazing story... I am forwarding this letter that I read to the rest of you. There is a part that tells you about the legalities of this process. A part that tells of glamour stories, and a part that explains how this madness actually works. The only part you truly have to concern yourself with is the instructions. Follow the instructions carefully and you can see how five dollars, probability, and multiplication will work to make you thousands. I know it sounds too easy, I thought so too, but my advice to you is...read on, what do you have to lose? THE FORWARDED LETTER Dear Friends: Greetings: I am a retired attorney. A few years ago a man came to me with a letter. He asked me to verify the fact that this was legal to do. I told him I would review it and get back to him. When I first read the letter my client brought me, 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 me was not 100% legal. My client then asked me to alter it to make it perfectly legal. I asked him to make one small change in the letter. I was still curious about the letter, so he explained to me how it works. I thought it seemed like a long shot, so I decided against participating. But before my client left, I asked him to keep me updated on his results. About two months later, he called me to tell me he had received over $800,000 in cash. I didn't believe him, so he asked me to try this idea and find out for myself. I thought about it for a couple of days and decided I really didn't have anything to lose, so I asked him for a copy of the letters. I followed the instructions exactly, mailed 200 copies, and sure enough, the money started coming in! It arrived slowly at first, but coming. I kept a precise record of the earnings, and in the end, it totaled $978,493! I could hardly believe it. I met with my friend for lunch to find out exactly how it worked. My part in this was to give my help to him, making sure that the whole thing was legal, since no one wants to take the risk of doing something illegal. By now you are surely curious to know what small changes to make. If you sent a letter like this one out, in order to be completely legal, you must actually sell something in order to receive a dollar in return. So when you send a dollar to each of the names on the list, you must include these words in the messagebox, "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST" and include your name and emailaddress. The item you will receive for the dollar you sent to the five people below is the message with the request. At the time I first tried this idea, I was earning a good living as a lawyer. But everyone 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 copies. Three months later, I had totaled $2,341,178! Here are a few reasons a person might give for not trying this program: - Some people think they can never make a lot of money with anything this simple. - Some are afraid they will be ridiculed for trying - Some dream of large sums of money, but do nothing to actually achieve it. - Some are just plain lazy. - Some are afraid of losing their investment. They think this program is designed to beat them out of a few dollars. The system works if you will just try it. But you must follow the simple instructions exactly, and in less than three months, you will be looking at $800,000 ! Keep what you are doing to yourself for awhile. Many will tell you it won`t work and will try to talk you out of your dreams. Let them know of your success after it works. LETTERS FROM PARTICIPANTS IN THIS PROGRAM: My name is David Rhodes. In 1992 my car was repossessed and bill collectors were hounding me. I was laid off and my unemployment ran out. In October of 1992, I received a letter telling me how to earn a large sum of money anytime I wanted. Of course, I was skeptical. But because I was so desperate and virtually had nothing to lose, I gave it a try. In January 1993, my family and I went on a 10-day cruise. The next month I bought a brand new Mercedes with cash! I am currently building a home in Virginia and I will never have to work again. This money program really works perfectly every time. I have never failed to receive less than $500,000. This is a legitimate, money-making opportunity. It does not require you to sell anything or to come in contact with people. And , best of all, you only leave the house to mail the letters. If you have always believed that someday you would get the lucky break, then simply follow the instructions and make dreams come true. Larry McMahon, Norfolk, VA Six months ago, I received this letter and ignored it. Five more came within a period of time and I ignored them also. I was tempted, but I was convinced that they were just a Hoax. After three weeks of deliberating, I decided to give it a try ( not expecting much ). Two weeks went by and nothing happened. The fourth week was unbelievable! I can't say I received $800,000 but I have received over $120,000. For the first time in years, I am debt free. I am doing this again, only this time starting with 500 post. I strongly recommend that you follow the instructions exactly as outlined in this letter. INSTRUCTIONS 1. Go to www.paypal.com and open an account. (If you do this before the last september you will be payed by Paypal with five dollar as a introduction bonus so this effort will not cost you anything.) Forward a payment of totally 5 dollar through your new PayPal account, 1 dollar each to the five peoples mailaddress listed in the bottom of this page. Select "Service" as payment type. In the Subject field you should write "Mailing list" and in the Note field write the following phrase, "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST" and include your name and emailaddress. What you are doing is requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it! 2. Now take the #1 name off the list that you see at the bottom, move the other names up (5 becomes 4, 4 becomes 3, etc...) and add YOUR name as number 5 on the list. 3. COPY this letter. You do not have to type it 200 times. Simply place your cursor at the top of the page, hold it and drag it all the way down to the end of the letter. Then click on "edit" and select "copy". Now open up a notepad file on your computer and put the cursor at the top of the page in the notepad, click on 'edit' and then select 'paste' it will copy the letter for you onto your computer. Remove the name next to the #1 on the list (the list at the bottom of the message) and move the rest of the names up one position (#2 becomes #1, #3 becomes #2, etc.....) Then place your name and your mailaddress (which is your payment address at payPal) in the #5 position. Then save it, make sure it is saved as a .txt file. 4. When you have completed the instructions, type the address of one of these search engines. www.google.com www.yahoo.com www.altavista.com www.askjeeves.com www.Altavista.com www.Fathead.com www.TotalSEEk.com www.Dmoz.com www.SearchPort.com www.Jayde.com www.HotBot.com www.ICQ IT!.com www.WorldLight.com www.Dogpile.com In the search box, type "message forums" or "discussion forums". A list of over 2 million boards will come up. Go to each board name and right click on the mouse. Select 'copy'. Then go to your "write mail" box, as if you were about to write a letter and select 'paste'. Do that until you have at least 200 locations. The more boards you find, the higher your income potential will be. The search engine will give you a ton of message forums; don't just grab the ones on the first page, dig deep and grab some from the middle and the back also, to help make sure you're visiting places no one has been to already. When you've found your 200+ locations, "copy" all your locations, "paste" them in a word document or notepad, and "Save" the file. Once you have the locations, visit each one, register, and post your letter. It's that simple. How many hours at your current job would it take for you to make 6000 dollars ? 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 with "This is pretty amazing.......", THAT'S IT! You're done with your first one, Congratulations. Some boards may be difficult to figure out where to post. If any board is too problematic for any reason, simply move on to the next board. Get some of your favorite CDs to listen to while you do this also. Keep a copy of this letter so you can use it a second time. Post it out again in six months, but Post it with the addresses you receive with each dollar. It will work better the second time. NOTE: This service is 100% legal - (Refer to title 18 section 1302 of the U.S. Postal &lottery laws). You can also call the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) to verify this. Hold on to every letter and mailing list request you receive. They will be proof of your service. HOW THIS WORKS When you send out 200 Posts, it is estimated that at least 15 people will respond and send you a $1.00 to be placed on your mailing list ($15.00). Those 15 will Post 200 Posts each and 225 people send you $1.00 to be placed on your mailing list ($225.00). Those 225 people Post 200 Posts each and 3,375 people send you $1.00 to be placed on your mailing list ($3,375.00) Those 3,375 post 200 posts each and 50,625 people send you $1.00 each ($50,625). Those 50,625 post 200 posts each and 759,375 people send you $1.00 ($759,375.00) At this point your name drops off the list, but so far you have received $813,615.00. Plus, you will continue to increase your income when you sell the mailing lists. Even if less then 15 people respond each time, you will still receive an income in the tens of thousands of dollars. The reality is, even if you only made a few hundred dollars out of all this, that's still an excellent return for such a miniscule investment. Most people spend a lot more on lottery tickets and have nothing to show for it, and forget about how much money is needed to play the market. Also, after posting this message on 100 mesage boards, it may get boring. Stay focused on what you want and don't quit until you finish. P.S. 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 of integrity, the program will continue and the money that so many others have received will come your way. When your money begins to come in, give the first 10% to charity with spirit and share a good fortune! ADDRESSES TO SEND YOUR PAYMENT OF 1 DOLLAR EACH TO (THROUGH YOUR PAYPAL ACCOUNT) AND THE MAILING LIST REQUEST: IF YOU OPEN A PAYPAL ACCOUNT BEFORE THE LAST SEPTEMBER PAYPAL WILL GIVE YOU FIVE DOLLAR AS A BONUS SO THIS WILL NOT COST YOU ANYTHING!!! 1) Dick Baldwin, Santa Monica baldwin33@toughguy.net 2) Igor Lobanov, Russia lio@ur.ru 3)Clark Olsen, Minnesota clark.olsen@hotpop.com 4) Alex O'Leary alexander.oleary@gamebox.ne 5) Michael Carlone, florida Carlone424@hotmail.com --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last Friday my wife and I went for a weekend away to San Diego. Talk about bad timing. Our plan was to watch football at an old friends house in Encinitas today and drive home this evening. When the fires kept getting worse we hit the road about 11am and it was a scary ride for the first few hours. The closed hiwy 805 15 min after we used it and Hiwy 8 about 20 min after we passed the fires. Some flames were only 2 blocks away on our left as we snuck through. Anyway, we're home now and I'll see what I can find on Charles STITES on either Tues or Wed and I'll let you know. I agree with you and wish that people that don't have time to do lookups wouldn't volunteer in the first place. But we do have several GOOD volunteers here in AZ that either do this kind of lookup or work on indexes like Obituary Daily Times or other special projects. Jim

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/zU.2ADE/468.1.1 Message Board Post: Yes, I'm sure there are some "good volunteers" on the site you sent. However the rules for there says send "your request to only one volunteer". So apparently when I sent mine to a volunteer in the Phoenix area (Maricopa) a year or so ago I chose the wrong one as my request was never acknowledged. Volunteers from RAOGK site are unresponsive also. With my requests (1999-2000) with help from Phoenix I had two people to respond. One was not even a volunteer, but had read my request in a forum board. He did look up the name in a city directory and sent me the info. The other person was a "joke". This past spring I requested help from Tucson (Pima) and sent the request to the two volunteers listed at RAOGK--neither even acknowledge my request and still haven't. I didn't bother with the site you sent because of the rule--"request to only one volunteer"---(how long after sending the request to ONE are you suppose to wait before sending to another????) Now I'm trying again and YOU are the only person who has responded. I'm looking for an obit for CHARLES FREEMAN STITES JR---do not know where he died, but know the date, February 1966. His last known residence was Tucson Arizona when his father passed away in 1956.--If someone would just look in the city directory for 1965-1966 to see if he is listed would be a great help. Back to volunteers from Phoenix area. I recently received a request for a lookup in Evansville IN and the lady asking for the lookup lived near Phoenix----guess what we exchanged lookups---she found what I was searching for in Phoenix. For that I am very grateful, as are the people I do research for. As a volunteer I respond to every request within 24 hours of receiving it and give the person an estimated time of lookup. I totally understand that some volunteers are over loaded and cannot keep up with their requests and or for family-work-personal reasons cannot do looks at the time they received it--but what I have a problem with is the fact that some DO NOT even acknowledge they received a request. I would much prefer to be told NO, then nothing.
