1. You give $10.00 by hand to the
person giving you this list of
names. He gives you a $5.00 order (any bonded money order,
cashiers check, fill-a-bill, etc.) to the person whose name
is
on the list you have purchased.
2. Don't use mail to send the list . IT IS ILLEGAL
TO DO THIS.
3. Make two identical copies of this letter eliminating the top name
and adding your name to the bottom. Thus, number 2 is
non number
1 and your name will be number 10.
4. Be sure the name on the money order is the same as the number 1
name on this list you have purchased. Mail the money order
at
once to the person it is made out to. It is legal to do
this.
5. Purchase two $5.00 money orders and make out to the person whose
name appears as number 1 on the next list you make out. You
attach
one money order to each list and sell them for $10.00 each.
6. When your name reaches the top of all these lists, you should have
recieved $10,240.00 in money orders. This is sure to work,
be-
cause each person will hasten to get his money back, moving
your
name the top of the list.
7. This list is not valid unless a money order is attached, payable
to the person who is number 1 on the list. Responsible
legal
talent has advised that this procedure is not illegal.
Be sure to
check spelling and addresses carefully.
DO NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES ON THE LIST, AS IT WILL BREAK THE CHAIN
AND IT WILL NOT WORK.

From an image of a typed letter
offered for sale on eBay around Nov. 21, 2015. Also provided was an
uncashed postal money order, originally fastened to the letter by a paper
clip. The money order was dated May 17, 1966. A statement on the back of
it read: "Invalid after 20 years." The names in the list of ten names
above were obscured by the seller in order to protect the privacy of any
who may still be alive. Keystrokes preserved. Sic "recieved".
The scheme is illegal. Entered by DWV on 11/22/2015.
