Need some extra $$$ for the summer? Sure, everyone does.
This program has been going on for 15 summers, by mail, then
E-mail. It's really very simple. Attached to this message is a
tracking program. For every person you send this message to,
you earn $10. If they send it to someone else, you earn another
$5, and so on. So basically, the more people you send this to,
the more money you will earn. This is funded by National
Banks everywhere that believe that summers should be fun for
children,the world's future, and should learn how to manage
their money.
Here's an example . . .
"Okay, I was 19 when I received this letter two summers ago.
I was just starting up my own DJ business, and I needed some
extra money to get my business started. So I thought, 'What
the heck, I'll send it to my friends'. I sent it to only 10 of my
friends, who each sent it to their friends. I never send these
letters, because I don't believe in them. The next month, I
received a check for $500.00 in the mail. Now my DJ business
is well known throughout Kentucky, and I've had a greatlife,
ever since I sent this to my 10 friends. All it took was five
minutes!"

As you can see, all you need to do is send this out to as many
people as you can. From a week to a month later, you will
receive a check in the mail for a certain amount of money,
depending on how many people you sent it to, and to whom
they send it. Good luck, and await the check!
