give me money

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, “PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST” and include your name and address. This is the key to the program. The item you will receive for the dollar you sent to the six people below is the letter.
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 retired 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: Ø Some people think they can never make a lot of money with anything this simple. Ø Some are afraid they will be ridiculed for trying Ø Some dream of large sums of money, but do nothing to actually achieve it. Ø Some are just plain lazy. Ø Some are afraid of losing their investment. They think this program is designed to beat them out of a few dollars.
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it! Like most of us I was 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) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws.
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 receive $800,000 GUARANTEED! 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 housing my. I was laid off and my unemployment ran out. In October of 1992, I received a letter telling me how to earn $800,000 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 cant say I received $800,000 but I received $400,000. 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. Immediately send $1.00 to each of the six people on the list at the end of this letter. Wrap the dollar bill in a note saying “ Please add me to your mailing list” and include your name and address.
2. 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.
3. Remove the name next to the #1 on the list and move the rest of the names up one position (#2 becomes #1, #3 becomes #2, etc…..) Then place your name in the #6 position. Then save it, make sure it is saved as a txt. file.
4. When you have completed the instructions, take this letter and then go to (Google,Yahoo,...) and type in (Making Money Massege board,or post massege,...)and start posting your copy to 200 message boards,or more this is only the minimum, you can post as much as you like...The more copies you send the better the results. 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. Don’t forget regular mail is always an option.

NOTE: This service is 100% legal - (Refer to title 18 section 1302 of the U.S. Postal & lottery laws) How does it work? When you send out 200 Posts, it is estimated that at least 15 people will respond and send you a $1.00. ($15.00) Those 15 will Post 200 Posts each and 225 people send you $1.00 ($225.00) Those 225 people Post 200 Posts each and 3,375 people send you $1.00 ($3,375.00) Those 3,375 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.

A. Viviano

Make $$ Thru PayPal - As Seen on Oprah
MAKE MONEY THROUGH PAYPAL!
AS SEEN ON 60 MINUTES & OPRAH!
That's Right $40,000 dollars in your PayPal account and that's NO
BULL!!! - AND IT WAS PROVEN ON OPRAH, NATIONAL TV & COMPLETELY LEGAL!!!
$10 Dollars... That's all it takes...I'll try to keep it short and sweet.
To get started just right mouse click and copy this whole page and
paste it in an e-mail to edit it. Simply follow the instructions below and
in 2 to 3 weeks, you will have at least $40,000 dollars in your PayPal
account. Most people respond to this program because of the low
investment ($10 dollars) and high profit potential. There is no limit to the
income you can generate from this (you can do it over and over).

If you follow the instructions, you will reach thousands of people!
Honesty, Faith, and Integrity make this system work. I think everyone has
heard of "PayPal". Anyone with an e-mail address can join for F*R*E*E*!
If you're not already a PayPal user, the first thing you need to do is
sign up. Just click the link below! It's really easy to set up and it's F*R*E*E*!

https://www.paypal.com/

TEAM WORK MAKES THIS DREAM WORK! LET'S GET STARTED: Send a $5.00 dollar
donation from your PayPal account to THE FIRST e-mail address on the
list along with a note saying "Please add me to your list". Now send the
other $5.00 donation and e-mail to the 5th person on the list saying
"Thanks I've joined".

Remove the 1st e-mail address and place your address at the bottom.
This moves the 2nd to 1st, 3rd to 2nd, 4th to 3rd, and the 5th place into 4th.

DO NOT TRY TO PLACE YOURSELF IN THE FIRST PLACE. IT WILL ONLY REACH THE
PEOPLE YOU SEND IT TO, AND THEN YOUR NAME WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE
LIST! If you do this the way it was designed it will reach thousands by the
time your name gets to the top. REMEMBER TO SEND a $5.00 dollar
donation to the 1st e-mail address and the message "Please add me to your
list, and send an email with the words "THANKS I'VE JOINED" and the other
$5.00 donation to the 5th person. This lets the 5th person keep track of
progress of the letter and continue to send out more emails.

Here is the list:

1. lmao@lm.ao
2. pwnj@pwn.j
3. yadda@yadda.y.a.d.d.a
4. gnggngng@yahoo)o0OO.k0|\/|
5. hatorade@hAtOrA.d3

Now that you have paid the 1st person and 5th person & sent them both
an email & a note, place your e-mail address in the 5th place. (Make
sure it's the same e-mail address that you used to open your PayPal
account). This is the way you will receive payment. OK, the only thing left
to do is to mail out at least 20 copies of this letter. It is the job of
the 5th person on the list to ensure there are at least 20 "thank you I
joined" replies. The fifth person is the guardian of the system! If
there are not at least 20 replies then the fifth person will keep sending
the letter until there is. Another option is to copy this message and post to several message boards, discussion boards, or forums.

MAKE SURE YOU SEND $5 DOLLARS TO THE FIRST PERSON TO THANK THEM FOR WHEN THEY WERE THE GUARDIAN OF THE LETTER and $5 DOLLARS TO THE FIFTH
PERSON SO MORE EMAILS DONT CONTINUE TO GO OUT! As you will also receive gratis -
thanks AND THE SAME BLESSING. When your name is on the 1st slot, 8,000
to 15,000 people will send you 5 dollars!

Keep in mind... the most you spent is $10 DOLLARS! (Remember... what
goes around comes around). Good Luck!

so guys, i have no savings. i mean, really. it's like, week to week over here. also i'm really bad at opening mail and i have some kind of 401k situation through work that i have no idea what is happening.

can someone please tell me they have no savings? please? it doesn't really count if you're younger than like 24

I have virtually no savings, and I am well over 24. My current account looks OK, but I have NO savings account or pension. I need to make a quarter of a million pounds in, say, the next three years...

My savings hovers around a few $K, but I have a 401k that could be tapped in an emergency, a house that I could probably sell and net $50K in profit if the SF market doesn't collapse, and an employed wife.

thanks you 2.

i have no savings, surm. not a penny.

Me neither.

have that 97 toyota, but it's probably in negative equity right now.

I'm 44 and have no savings. Give me money.

and an employed wife
How much could you cash her in for?

I cashed out my 401k (which wasn't a huge amount, but about 5 months of living expenses) to start a business in January. Possibly a stupid move. I'm 48 and figure I'll be working until I just fall over dead.

How much could you cash her in for?

She doesn't fully vest until her remaining parent dies.

I have $5000 in savings and I just started a pension. I'm 23. I'm going to spend the great majority of that $5000 on a holiday and a new big ass TV though.

wow =) nice

No savings, but I have some bonus money coming up in September. So it's six months interest free credit summer bike time o yeaaahh.

Wow, not only was this thread started by Philip Greenspun himself (the only time he's ever posted here?), it has two, two, two copies of the David Rhodes chain mail scam! So, of course, I had to use it for my truck repair GoFundMe. (TLDR: My truck finally seriously broke down to the point that the transmission has to be rebuilt, I've been out of work for two weeks, I have bills, rent, and a huge repair bill to pay.)

https://gofund.me/923675879

this thread started by Philip Greenspun himself

sorry, nope. back in 2001 anyone could post anything under any name they chose. there was no registration process. everything was wide open and wild west. sock puppets galore!

otoh... https://gofund.me/923675879

yes!

done

Thank you.

how on erf this ain't blowing up

i'm sorry your truck's transmission conked out, Christine, that's some awful crap to deal with, especially when you need it for your work and your clients are depending on it too!

anyone with money who sees this pls give Christine some cash ok

https://gofund.me/923675879

what else were you gonna spend it on, some like -- i don't know what peeps buy here, beatles reissues or whatever? stop it, u have enough beatles reissues, help an ilxor instead

sir paul doesn't need another solid gold rickenbacker or whatever

Thanks for the boost (and the donation), I'm very grateful for this.

ay no worries! you've been so cool on these borads, for so long -- how can anyone post here basically forever and still be so chill? this is a superhuman level of restraint imo, and is deserving of mucho ducats and i'm angry i can't give more

i can't recall you ever being an asshole to anyone. and your name? come the hell on, that name is impeccable!! i love that name every time i read it, it's a visual poem in words <3 🍃🐉💙

and you guys, they have a cat. a kitty cat. do it for the kitty. give money to Chris's cat, thru Chris 🙏

https://gofund.me/923675879

i'll sweeten the deal, look: if you donate something, you can see this recipe for a roasted moroccan-ish cauliflower thing i made one time and everyone at a party said it was good and they ate every bit of it and i didn't get to try any, but the process of cooking it stressed me out so much i never made it again

(you can also see the recipe if you're poor and can't donate anything, but the rich gotta pay)

since it's a recipe the spoiler tags would probably be fussy so this is on the honor system, you guys

okay so if you've given to Christine's gofundme -or- if you don't have enough to do so, you can read the following recipe, but anyone who DOES have money and DOESN'T donate any of it has to skip the rest of this post.

Adapted from:

https://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/moroccan-whole-roasted-cauliflower

1 large cauliflower, trimmed

Juice of 1 orange

1 cup finely diced red onion

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground coriander

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1/2 cup of soaked, mushed-up dates

Set the oven to 375° and slather a roasting pan with oil.

Mix up an oniony spice sauce: Combine orange juice, finely diced onion, salt, spices, a spoonful of oil, and a spoonful of date paste. Adjust seasoning to taste, or don't.

Plop the cauliflower upside down in the roasting pan. Drizzle and pat the underside with a good bit of oil, then with about 1/3 of the remaining date paste, then with about 1/3 of the oniony spice sauce. (Or maybe just mix all the date paste into the sauce? The original recipe called for you to do them separately so that's what I did, but I don't see why you couldn't just consolidate them)

Flip the cauliflower right side up and anoint all over with more oil, then with the rest of the sauce and date paste. Try to cover every surface.

Put cauliflower in the oven and roast until it smells like it's burning. (This part of the recipe could use some tweaking; feel free to improvise) Hurriedly turn the temperature down to 350° and dump some water into the pan. Spoon liquid from the pan onto the cauliflower and tent some foil over it. Check on it anxiously, spooning more liquid on top, until it's done or you decide it's close enough.

Speaking of which:

The transmission is just about rebuilt; they are just waiting on one part to be shipped to them, and then after that, it will be about 3 or 4 hours of labor until my truck will be ready to take home. I'm hoping that it will be ready soon enough for me to get back to work tomorrow.

The first chunk of money arrived into my savings account this morning--about $950. I paid a few bills, and I'm hoping to be able to pay the mechanic a few hundred as a down payment when I pick it up (I have it on a 90-day payment schedule). I thank you all for being generous. Please share this around as much as you can, I will need every bit of this $6500 since I won't have a paycheck next week and a small paycheck week after next.

FINE you've twisted my arm, they only need a little more to meet their goal so whoever steps up gets to ogle some bouncy tits, but no one else better touch that spoiler tag i'm warning you!!

Whee! :-)

My real goal is $6500, but I have Gofundme set to slowly advance the goal towards that as more money comes in.

tried to see what the lowest score you can get is, it actually gives you a negative somehow

it gives you this "antipode hunter" thing, like this

0🤮 0🤮 0😭 0🤮 1🤮
Final score: -903

sorry, wrong thread!

damn, I thought that first one was just the meanest post I'd ever seen on ILX

mortified :(((((

I forgive you!

I'm still truckless, the mechanic is still waiting on one more part for my transmission.

The part came in and the transmission has been reinstalled. They were supposed to call me in the afternoon after the test drive, but I never heard back from them. I guess I'll have to miss one more day of work, and I hope I won't have to miss any more.

I've paid some of the bills with some of the money that's come in, and I'm waiting to see what the final bill to the mechanic will be before I pay any more of them.

I thank you all for being so generous. I will leave the fundraiser up for a few more weeks, please share and spread the word about it.

There's been a major setback. We were called and told that the truck was ready. We got a Lyft and went to the mechanics, only to be told that we wouldn't be able to take the truck home until the repair bill was completely paid off. I was under the mistaken impression that I would be able to make time payments and use the truck at the same time. I know I sound like a very stupid human being, because I am a very stupid human being. After this, we walked outside and tried to get another Lyft home, but couldn't because it was rush hour. We walked a couple of miles (inflaming my husband's bad leg) to the local Publix to get some cat food and wait for rush hour to be over, and we finally was able to get home.

In short, I can't work until I pay off the repairs. Please share this around some more, and donate again if you can afford to. I am extremely grateful to you all.

CGLDI, caregivers are some of the most important and under-compensated workers out there. My own family has benefited mightily from their willingness to do those jobs. Hang in there. I suspect you are feeling a bit desperate about this. You deserve a more secure position in life. I'll do what I can for you and your husband. I encourage others to join me.

I'm terrified, actually.

In the not so distant past, whenever ILX needed to raise money to pay for the server, the goal was often met before I even opened my browser. I know there are many fewer regulars these days, but *damn* if everyone is too broke to chip in $10 to the pot then the world has changed since the pandemic even more than I thought -- and I knew it was bad.
