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 oflist. 
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, andreally 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,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: 
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: 
-------------------------------------------- 

#1. John Bradley 
536 State St. #3
Madison WI 53703 

#2. Margaret Vines 
9792 Edmonds Way
Edmonds, Wash. 98020 

#3. Julie Zingler 
6102 N 16TH ST
PHOENIX,  AZ  85016

--------------------------------------------- 
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 ! 
If you don't try it ,you will never know.
