Dear Friend: AS SEEN ON NATIONAL TV: Make over a half million dollars ($500,000+) every 4 to 5 months from your home for an investment of only $25 U.S. Dollars - one time! THANKS TO THE COMPUTER AGE AND THE INTERNET! BE A MILLIONAIRE LIKE OTHERS WITHIN A YEAR!! Before you say "Bull", please read the following. This is the letter you have been hearing about on the news lately. Due to the popularity of this letter on the internet, a national weekly news program recently devoted an entire show to the investigation of this 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 and if people can follow the simple instructions, they are bound to make some mega bucks with only $25 out of pocket cost". DUE TO THE RECENT INCREASE OF POPULARITY RESPECT THIS PROGRAM HAS ATTAINED, IT IS CURRENTLY WORKING BETTER THAN EVER. This is what one had to say: "Thanks to this profitable opportunity. I was approached many times before but each time I passed on it. I am so glad I finally joined just to see what one could expect in return for the minimal effort and money required. To my astonishment, I received a total of $610,470.00 in 21 weeks, with money still coming in." Pam Hedland, Fort Lee, NJ Here is another testimonial: "This program has been around for a long time but I never believed in it. But one day when I received this again in the mail, I decided to gamble my $25 on it. I followed the simple instructions and walaa.3 weeks later the money started to come in. First month I only made $240.00 but the next 2 months after that I made a total of $290,000.00. So far, in the past 8months by re-entering the program, I have made over $710,000.00 and I am playing it again. The key to success in this program is to follow the simple steps and NOT change anything." More testimonials later but first, ** PRINT THIS NOW FOR YOUR FUTURE REFERENCE ** If you would like to make at least $500,000 every 4 to 5 months easily and comfortably, please read the following.THEN READ IT AGAIN AND AGAIN!!! FOLLOW THE SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW AND YOUR FINANCIAL DREAMS WILL COME TRUE, GUARANTEED! INSTRUCTIONS: Order all 5 reports shown on the list below. For each report, send $5 CASH, THE NAME NUMBER OF THE REPORT YOU ARE ORDERING and YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS to the person whose name appears ON THAT LIST next to the report. MAKE SURE YOUR RETURN ADDRESS IS ON YOUR ENVELOPE TOP LEFT CORNER in case of any mail problems. When you place your order, make sure you order each of the 5 reports. You will need all 5 reports so that you can save them on your computer and resell them. YOUR TOTAL COST $5 X 5 = $25.00. Within a few days you will receive, via e-mail, each of the 5 reports from these 5 different individuals. 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.

Remember, honesty reaps the reward!!! 1. After you have ordered all 5 reports, take this advertisement and REMOVE the name address of the person in REPORT #5.

S. expense one time" THANKS TO THE COMPUTER AGE AND THE INTERNET!! _ E-WORK AT HOME USING YOUR COMPUTER!!! _ Before you say "Bull", please read the following. "AS SEEN ON NATIONAL T.V."

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.

It can be started with VERY LITTLE investment and the income return is TREMENDOUS!!! If you would like to make at least $46,000 in less than 90 days! Please read the enclosed program...THEN READ IT AGAIN!!! THIS IS A LEGITIMATE, LEGAL, MONEY MAKING OPPORTUNITY.

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 deadpanned 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 downsized 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

Bush's whitehouse.gov launches with embarrassing errors, bugs
http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,41319,00.html Anybody Home at Whitehouse.gov? by Declan McCullagh ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) 4:00 p.m. Jan. 21, 2001 PST WASHINGTON -- President Bush not only got the keys to the White House this weekend, but he also took over the official whitehouse.gov website. While the new president's speedily organized inaugural celebration concluded without incident in a chill rain, the launch of the Bush administration's Web presence was not as successful. Dozens of links return error messages, and the home page appears to have sported an unusual slogan on the left-hand rail when it first went up on Saturday: "Insert Something Meaningful Here." At high noon on Saturday, as Bush and Vice President Cheney took oaths of office on the Capitol building steps, the new administration officially took over the whitehouse.gov domain. Many of the text-only whitehouse.gov pages, designed for readers who are visually impaired or have low-bandwidth connections, return broken links. Clicking on the text-only option from the search page results in a malformed link with the title: "www.whitehouse.gov/--%20INTERFACE%20LINK%20." Links at the bottom of the White House History page -- including past first families, first ladies, or tour information -- return "404: The page cannot be found". In the children's area of whitehouse.gov, the Historic Moments page includes broken links to images of Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt. On the home page, the placeholder message "Insert Something Meaningful Here" briefly appeared on the left side of the screen, according to a Wired News reader who saved a screen snapshot. The message, according to the snapshot, appeared under "President George W. Bush is Inaugurated as President of the United States" and above "Recent Additions."
