"AS SEEN ON NATIONAL TV"
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, it's been
very exciting to be a part of it 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!"
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 sceptical 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, my 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 made 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 and 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 in financial
trouble like I was, or you want to start your own business, consider
this a sign. I DID!
Sincerely,
Johnathon Rourke



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 thousands and thousands of programs.
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 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!
* 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 ALL INFORMATION, 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!


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
Advertising on the internet 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 10,000).....$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!

******* 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!
Before you make your decision as to whether or not you participate in
this program. Please answer one question. DO YOU WANT TO CHANGE YOUR
LIFE? If the answer is yes, please look at the following facts about
this program:

1. You are selling a product which does not Cost anything to PRODUCE,
SHIP OR ADVERTISE.
2. All of your customers pay you in CASH!
3. E-mail is without question the most powerful method of distributing
information on earth. This program combines the distribution power of
e-mail together with the revenue generating power of multi-level
marketing.
4. Your only expense-other than your initial $20 investment-is your
time!
5. Virtually all of the income you generate from this program is PURE
PROFIT!
6. This program will change your LIFE FOREVER.
