Presumably other members of sharechat were also favoured with the below?
I thought "multi-level" meant the same as pyramid scheme.......
How did the sneaky little ratbag "Rob from Illinois" manage to get the sharechat
mailing list I wonder....
Maybe one should just allege he is a member of Al Qaeda and the CIA would pay 
him
a convivial visit....

cheers,

"Smash your alarm clock"
Thank you for your time reading this message.

My name is Rob. I'm from Illinois. Finally I don't worry
about my mortgage, car, insurance and other payments. I have more time for my
family and more money to make my dreams come true.

If you want to be financially independent and you don't mind sending e-mail, DO
NOT DELETE this message.
Trust me! You can earn $46,600 or more in the next 90 days by sending e-mail.
Seems impossible? Read the following letter and you'll see how tempting this
program is. Most people can't resist not  participating. Even me. And that's the
whole point of it. More and more people will become part of it. Don't forget
that currently more than 175,000,000 people are online worldwide!

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 has 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.

This multi-level e-mail order marketing program works perfectly...100\%
EVERY TIME. E-mail is the sales tool of the future. Take advantage of this
non-commercialized method of advertising NOW!!! The longer you wait, the
more people will be doing business using e-mail. Get your piece of this
action!!!


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 3,500,000 millionaires
in the WORLD, 20\% ( 700,000) made their fortune in the last several years
in MLM. Moreover, statistics show that over 100 people become millionaires
everyday through Multi-Level Marketing.

You may have heard this story before, but over the summer Donald Trump (A
MULTI-BILLIONAIRE, ONE OF THE WEALTHIEST MEN IN THE WORLD) 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.

This program is currently being utilized in more than 50 different
countries across the world.

The enclosed INF0RMATION 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 INF0RMATION 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 100,000 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 $46,000 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 $46,000 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 100,000, I received $42,000 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 $46,000 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


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 100,000 or more...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, INF0RMATION, 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 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 $46,000 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. Because of the global nature of the
internet, you will be able to recruit new multi-level business partners
from all over the world, 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 5 reports shown on the list below
(you can't sell them if you don't order them).

a. For each report, send $5.00 CASH, the NAME & NUMBER OF THE REPORT YOU
ARE ORDERING, YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS, and YOUR NAME & RETURN ADDRESS (in case
of a problem) 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!

b. When you place your order, make sure you order each of the five reports.
You will need all five reports so that you can save them on your computer
and resell them.

c. Within a few days you will receive, via e-mail, each of the five
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 "g" 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 five reports, take this advertisement and
REM0VE the name and address under REPORT #5. This person has made it
through the cycle and is no doubt counting their $46,000! Also, change the
name of the company, the address, and the REM0VE e-mail address on the top
of this document to your own.

c. Move the name and address under REPORT #4 down to REPORT #5.

d. Move the name and address under REPORT #3 down to REPORT #4.

e. Move the name and address under REPORT #2 down to REPORT #3.

f. Move the name and address under REPORT #1 down to REPORT #2.

g. 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 $25). You obviously already have an Internet connection and e-mail
is FREE!

To assist you with marketing your business on the internet, the 5 reports
you purchase will provide you with invaluable marketing INF0RMATION which
includes how to send bulk e-mails, where to find thousands of free
classified ads and much, much more.

In addition you will be provided with INF0MATION on Internet Marketing
Clubs such as INTERNET MARKETING RESOURCES(IMR): This is one the premiere
internet marketing clubs on the INTERNET. This club provides a forum where
internet marketers from all over the world can exchange ideas and secrets
on Internet Marketing. In addition, members of this club are provided free
internet marketing tools and services for the Do-Yourself-Internet-Marketer.

They will provide you with free bulk e-mail software and up to 1,000,000
fresh e-mail addresses each week. This club will provide you with hundreds
of free resources which include: How to obtain free web sites, how to
obtain top rankings in search engines for your web-site, how to send bulk
e-mail into AOL and Compuserve, how to market your products on newsgroups,
free classified ads, electronic malls, bulletin boards, banner ads and 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 0.3\% 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 0.3\% response, that
is only 6 orders for REPORT #1. Those 6 people respond by sending out 2,000
programs each for a total of 12,000. Out of those 0.3\%, 36 people respond
and order REPORT #2. Those 36 mail out 2,000 programs each for a total of
72,000. The 0.3\% response to that is 216 orders for REPORT #3. Those 216
send out 2,000 programs each for a 432,000 total. The 0.3\% response to that
is 1,296 orders for REPORT #4. Those 1,296 send out 2,000 programs each for
a 2,592,000 total. The 0.3\% response to that is 7,776 orders for REPORT #5.


That's 7,776 $5 bills for you, CASH!!! Your total income in this example is
$30 + $180 + $1,080+ $6,480 + $38,880 for a total of $46,650!!!

REMEMBER FRIEND, THIS IS ASSUMING 1,994 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 and #5 will show you the best methods for bulk emailing, tell you
where to obtain free bulk e-mail software and where to obtain e-mail lists
and show you how to send out 1,000,000 e-mails for free.

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 6 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 6 downline members. Follow this example to achieve
the STAGGERING results below.

1st level--your 6 members with $5 ($5 x 6)........................$30
2nd level--6 members from those 6 ($5 x 36)....................$180
3rd level--6 members from those 36 ($5 x 216)............ $1,080
4th level--6 members from those 216 ($5 x 1,296)....... $6,480
5th level-6 members from those 1,296 ($5 x 7,776)... $38,880
...............................................$46,650
_________________________________________________________________________


Remember friends, this assumes that the people who participate only recruit
6 people each. Think for a moment what would happen if they got 20 people
to participate! Many people will 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!

******* TIPS FOR SUCCESS *******

* TREAT THIS AS YOUR BUSINESS! Be prompt, professional,
and follow the directions accurately.

* Send for the five 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

******* T E S T I M O N I A L S *******

This program does work, but you must follow it EXACTLY! Especially the rule
of not trying to place your name in a different position, it won't work and
you'll lose a lot of potential income. I'm living proof that it works. It
really is a great opportunity to make relatively easy money, with little
cost to you. If you do choose to participate, follow the program exactly,
and you'll be on your way to financial security.
Fred Dellaca, Westport, New Zealand

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.
Mitchell Wolf MD., Chicago, IL

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.
Sincerely yours,
Pam Hedland Halmstad, Sweden

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. 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.
Dan Sondstrom, Alberta, Canada

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!!
Mohamed, Cairo, Egypt

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!
