what's a chain letter and how does it work?

So… What’s the catch? What do I have to do? There is no catch! This is the breakdown: A- First things first, please send $1.00 to each of the following people and request your name be added to their mailing list. **This is the step that makes the program legal.** (You must actually be selling something, if you expect to receive a dollar through the mail legally. Anyone sending a dollar to a stranger in the mail must expect to receive something in return. So, when you send a dollar to each of the six people on the list, you must include a slip of paper with the words "Please put my name on your mailing list." This is the key to the program.) 1. Robert Bach 235 Wilbur Ave., Cranston, RI 02921 2. Suzie Pettifer 1208 Citrus Oaks Ave, Gotha, FL 34734 3. Alfonso Alverenga 543 Wilson Blvd., C.I., NY 11722 4. Marvin Robertson, Jr. 1605 Margin Ct., Virginia Beach, VA 23456 5. Jim Robinson P.O. Box 278, Elverson, PA 19520 6. Robert Newlon 420 w 3rd st San Dimas,Ca 91773 B- Next, Remove the name in the number 1 position and move each of the other names up one place (#2 becomes #1, #3 becomes #2, etc.) then put your name in the sixth position. **(An easy way to do this is to retype or print on a separate piece of paper all six names with yours as the sixth name. Then, just tape the new list over the area where the names are shown, and you are ready to photocopy.) Please take care when making your "list of six." Follow the directions! Your name should be in the 6th position and the names on "the letter" that YOU received need to be adjusted. The names in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th position now need to be moved to the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th position. This is important, as you do not want to omit someone that has already put their effort in, effort that will now benefit you. Be honest! -PAGE TWO- C- After completing the editing of the names, photocopy or print 200 copies of this letter. D- Purchase a mailing list of names from one of the following companies, or maybe you’d rather find your own online. There are so many! Personally, I believe the more reputable mailing list companies that are found—the better. It means the letter will be circulated to more people. Here are some companies to get you started: DATA LINE. Data Line is a member of the Better Business Bureau and they only provide names of opportunity seekers like you. They sell a list of 200 names for only $45.00, you pay less the more you buy. They also ship the next day, C.O.D. The best part is the names come on self adhesive labels that you just peel and stick right to the envelope. Just call, 1-800-497-2912 and they'll have them delivered to you within 5 days. This company accepts VISA, MASTERCARD, DEBIT CARD, CHECK, OR COD to make it more convenient for you to get started. You can also visit Dataline online at www.datalineone.com. ADVANCED MARKETING SOLUTIONS. They sell lists for as low as 250 names for $27.00. They take orders both over the phone (Phone orders: 1-800-748-5411) and online. Visit their website for more information. www.advmarketingsolutions.com. A1 OPPORTUNITY SEEKERS. They sell lists for as low as 250 names for $30.00. For more information, contact them at 1-800-257-5242 or visit their website: www.a1opportunityseekers.com. ***While waiting for the mailing list to arrive, place each of your 200 copies (or more if you want to make bigger bucks) into business size envelopes and seal them. Go to your post office and purchase 200 of their 42 cent stamps and place them on the envelopes (the post office sells rolls of 100 self adhesive stamps for your convenience.) Once the list arrives, immediately place an address label on each envelope and drop them into the mailbox. And if all goes well…Within 20 to 30 days you should start receiving cash! Realistically, you can expect to spend around the following: (for a mailing of 200) · $6.00 paid to the names listed on page 2 · $30.00 for 200 peel and stick addressed mailing labels · $11.00 for envelopes · $65.00 for 200 sets of copied letters (unless you have access to a copier) · $84.00 for postage (for 200 .42 cent stamps) -PAGE THREE- Your estimated total investment is around $196.00. Yes, I know that $200 is nothing to sneeze at but if after reading this letter and visiting the website you don't think this is worth $196.00, a small investment for a very large return, then you must be happy with your current life style. Please read all of the pages before making your decision. Please visit the web site http:thechainletter.blogspot.com This is a must. Don't have a computer, borrow one for an hour! Here are a few tips I have picked up (merely suggestions)…. *Be Honest and this will potentially work for everyone. *After you receive your mailing list, mail the letters as soon as possible while the list is still fresh. *When you handle a lot of letters, an electronic opener is great! *File your responses alphabetically every day to keep track of your earnings. *STAY COOL…Keep your job until you have time to plan your next step. Note: When you send out these letters, you are in the mail order business. People are sending you $1.00 to be put on your mailing list. This is a legal and helpful service, see Title 18 section 1302 & 1342 of the U.S. Postal and Lottery Laws. If you tried this system before and it failed, it was probably because you mailed them to your friends…NO KIDDING! This time, get the mailing list labels and SHARE WITH YOUR FRIENDS AFTER YOU HAVE PROVED THAT IT WORKS! BELOW IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE POTENTIAL OF THE LETTER BASED ON IF YOU MAIL OUT 200 LETTERS AND RECEIVE A 7% RETURN RATE · When you send out 200 letters, 15 people will send you $1.00 =$15.00 · Those 15 people mail out 200 letters, 225 people will send you $1.00 =$225.00 · Those 225 people mail out 200 letters, 3,375 people will send you $1.00 =$3,375.00 · Those 3,375 people mail out 200 letters, 50.625 people will send you $1.00 = $50,625.00 · Those 50,625 people mail out 200 letters, 759,375 people will send you $1.00 = $759,375.00 TOTAL $813,615.00 AT THIS POINT YOUR NAME IS DROPPED FROM THE LIST, BUT YOU HAVE RECEIVED $813,615.00!!!
