Parents of 15 yr.old Find $71,000 cash hidden in his closet & "CASH JUST KEEPS COMING IN MY MAIL" ! ! Dear Friend, It Works, Its Legal, Its Easy, so Why Not? Parents of 15-year-old find $71,000 cash hidden in his closet. Does this headline look familiar? Of course it does. You most likely have just seen this story recently featured on a major nightly news program (USA). His mother was cleaning and putting laundry away when she came across a large brown paper bag that was suspiciously buried beneath some clothes and a skateboard in the back of her 15-year-old sons closet. Nothing could have prepared her for the shock she got when she opened the bag and found it was full of cash. Five-dollar bills, twenties, fifties and hundreds - all neatly rubber-banded in labeled piles. "My first thought was that he had robbed a bank", says the 41-year-old woman, "There was over $71,000 dollars in that bag -- thats more than my husband earns in a year". The woman immediately called her husband at the car-dealership where he worked to tell him what she had discovered. He came home right away and they drove together to the boys school and picked him up. Little did they suspect that where the money came from was more shocking than actually finding it in the closet. As it turns out, the boy had been sending out, via E-mail, a type of "chain-letter" to E-mail addresses that he obtained off of the Internet. Everyday after school for the past 2 months, he had been doing this right on his computer in his bedroom."I just got the E-mail one day and I figured what the heck, I put my name on it like the instructions said and I started sending it out", says the clever 15-year-old. The E-mail letter listed 3 addresses and contained instructions to send one $5 dollar bill to each person on the list, then delete the address at the top and move the other 2 addresses up, and finally to add your name to the bottom of the list. The letter goes on to state that you would receive several thousand dollars in five-dollar bills within 2 weeks if you sent out the letter with your name at the bottom of the 3-address list. "I get junk E-mail all the time, and I really did not think it was going to work", the boy continues. Within the first few days of sending out the E-mail, the Post Office Box that his parents had gotten him for his video-game magazine subscriptions began to fill up with not magazines, but envelopes containing $5 bills. "About a week later I rode [my bike] down to the post office and my box had 1 magazine and about 300 envelops stuffed in it. There was also a yellow slip that said I had to go up to the [post office] counter. I thought I was in trouble or something (laughs)". He goes on, "I went up to the counter and they had a whole box of more mail for me. I had to ride back home and empty out my backpack because I could not carry it all". Over the next few weeks, the boy continued sending out the E-mail. "The money just kept coming in and I just kept sorting it and stashing it in the closet, I barely had time for my homework". He had also been riding his bike to several of the banks in his area and exchanging the $5 bills for twenties, fifties and hundreds. "I didnt want the banks to get suspicious so I kept riding to different banks with like five thousand at a time in my backpack.I would usually tell the lady at the bank counter that my dad had sent me in [to exchange the money] and he was outside waiting for me. One time the lady gave me a really strange look and told me that she would not be able to do it for me and my dad would have to come in and do it, but I just rode to the next bank down the street (laughs)." Surprisingly, the boy did not have any reason to be afraid. The reporting news team examined and investigated the so-called "chain-letter" the boy was sending out and found that it was not a chain-letter at all. In fact, it was completely legal according to US Postal and Lottery Laws, Title 18, Section 1302 and 1341, or Title 18, Section 3005 in the US code, also in the code of federal regulations, Volume 16, Sections 255 and 436, which state a product or service must be exchanged for money received. Every five-dollar bill that he received contained a little note that read, "Please add me to your mailing list". This simple note made the letter legal because he was exchanging a service (adding the purchasers name to his mailing list) for a five-dollar fee. Here is the letter that the 15-year-old was sending out by E-mail, you can do the exact same thing he was doing, simply by following the instructions in this letter. Here are instructions on how to make $10,000 US cash in the next 2 weeks: ("to help you with your mailing list") There are 3 addresses listed below. Send EACH PERSON on the list a $5 bill wrapped in 2 pieces of paper (to securely hide it), along with a note that says: "Please add me to your mailing list". Then delete the name at the top, move the other 2 up and put your name at the bottom. Now start sending this ENTIRE e-mail back out to people. When 20 people receive it, those 20 people will move your name up to the middle position and they will each send out 20. That totals 400 people that will receive this letter with your name in the middle. Then, those 400 people will move your name up to the top and they will each send out 20 E-mails. That totals 8,000 people that will receive this E-mail with your name on it and they will each send you a $5 bill, 8,000 people each sending you a $5 bill = $40,000 cash, Thats if everyone responds to this E-mail, but not everyone will,so you can expect more realistically to receive about $10,000 cash $5 bills in your mailbox, This will work for anyone, anywhere in the world in any country, but send only US CASH $5 bill. The more E-mails you send out, the more cash you will receive, If each person sends out 100 E-mails, there will be 1,000,000 people that receive this letter with your name on it. If only 1% of those people respond, you will still get $50,000 cash, Here is the list: (Send US $5 bill to EACH PERSON on the list.Total= $15) #1.Mary jones P.O. Box 261 Norman, OK 73070 #2.Joyce Nattrass, 18 Wentworth Way, Hunmanby, Filey, North Yorkshire, UK YO14 OLA #3.Troy May, 6131 OLD PLANK RD. WINSTON SALEM, NC 27106 THERES NOTHING MORE TO DO. When you start sending this out within a few days, you will start receiving $5 bills from other people just like yourself, who are willing to invest three $5 bills to receive $10,000 cash, EVERYONE on this list gets Paid EVERY TIME invest $15 & get your name on the list, you will not regret it ! Just Think...If every person who got this did it the Results would be PHENOMENAL ! ! ! Try it, all you have to loose is $15 & the chances of you loosing the $15 are VERY,VERY,Slim. If you dont try it- you will never know. ** Remember to send a $5 bill to EVERY PERSON on the list,=$15.SENDING THE MONEY is what makes this work. NOTICE: This is NOT a lottery,illegal chain-letter,or scheme.You are BUYING A SERVICE.(US Postal and Lottery Laws,Title 18,Section 1302 and 1341,or Title 18,Section 3005in the US code,also in the code of federal regulations,Volume16,Sections 255 and 436,which state a product or service must be exchanged for money received.) You are paying $15 to be added to 3 mailing lists($5 per list) The $15 is not refundable. This is the new way of the new millennium! God Bless You

We have checked our records, and he is in fact running a homo-necro-bestial paedophile ring when he's not smuggling heroin for Osama. He does not seem to be money-laundering, he gets paid in Semtex, so chill out, bitch. Besides, snooping is so *rude*, why don't you just talk to him?

Fwd: Federal government creates new secret ?Gun Police?

==================BEGIN FORWARDED MESSAGE================== >From: CILA / ICAL National Office <teebee(a)sprint.ca> >To: >Subject: Federal government creates new secret ?Gun Police? >Date: Sun, 21 Jan 2001 18:31:58 -0500 CILA / ICAL Defending Canada's Heritage ---------------------------------------------- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ---------------------------------------------- January 21, 2001 Federal government creates new secret "Gun Police" The Federal government has secretly created a new federal police force in Canada called the "National Firearms Enforcement Support Team (NFEST)". This unit will be headed by Bob Frolic, formerly the leader of Ontario's controversial "Provincial Weapons Enforcement Unit". Mr. Frolic has headed the PWEU for the last five years and has proven himself to be extremely aggressive towards legitimate firearms owners. Frolic first came to the attention of the public when his PWEU arrested ten legitimate firearms owners in Halton Region for neglecting to change their addresses on their firearms registrations. More recently, several lawsuits have been filed against the Unit for harassment and wrongful arrest. The Unit has also been involved in several questionable tactics such as the coercion of paid informants and the photographing and recording of license plate numbers at both Canadian and U.S. gun shows. As well, the Unit routinely trains with the notorious U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (BATF) and conducts numerous undercover operations in legitimate activities such as gun shows. The Unit also boasts an abysmal conviction record. When questioned, a CFC Information Officer would only confirm the existence of the new federal police unit. The Officer was extremely evasive regarding the following questions: - What is the NWEST's mandate? - How is NWEST funded and how much will it cost to operate? - How many Agents (Officers?) will NWEST have? - Why have these firearms enforcement duties been taken away from the RCMP? - What relationship will this unit have with the BATF? - Does the government have to pass legislation to create this new federal police force? - Will information collected by NWEST be routinely shared with BATF? BATF activity in Canada is on a steady increase, not only in training our law enforcement community but also in the conducting of operations. Information regarding both law abiding Americans and Canadians is regularly exchanged. Has the BATF "officially" come to Canada? The NWEST Unit is yet another hidden cost of C-68. Why do we need "Gun Cops" in the first place? Canada has one of the lowest incidents of firearms crime in the free world and the setting up of a secret federal police force to violate the lives of ordinary Canadians is an expensive, intrusive undertaking our country can ill afford. -30- For more information contact: Canadian Institute for Legislative Action / Institut Canadien pour l'Action Législative National Office: P.O.Box 44030, 600 Grandview St. S.

I enjoy a scene from a recent Bond film - where James is called on the telephone whilst he is in a compromising position with an academic at Cambridge University. He suavely navigates the telephone call, and when finished, his female companion remarks "James, you were always a such cunning linguist". My memory of the scene may differ slightly, but hopefully you pick up the play on words. The academic was a languages specialist, and if course, she was gorgeous.

Hmmmm... "Ashcroft has been hailed as an ally by the NRA, voting against trigger locks and the assault weapons ban while supporting conceal and carry laws and gun show loopholes to regulation." > Excellent, he is clearly a firm supporter of civil liberties. Might I second that, in this case. Gee, maybe this website should be named <http://www.supportashcroft.com/>; I was feeling kinda lukewarm about his nomination until I saw it. Thanks, sparky! > Unfortunately, I don't see any place on your web page to voice my > support for his nomination? "In 1999, Ashcroft recorded radio ads urging Missouri voters to support an NRA-sponsored ballot initiative that would have allowed almost anyone - including convicted child molesters and stalkers - to carry concealed guns in Missouri." Maybe I should move to Missouri. I've always wanted to shoot a child molester.
