Make Money Fast
Dear Friends,
My name is Dave Rhodes. In September 1988 my car was
reposessed and the bill collectors were hounding me like you wouldn’t
believe. I was laid off and my unemployment checks had run out. The
only escape I had from the pressure of failure was my computer and my
modem. I longed to turn my advocation into my vocation.
This January 1989 my family and I went on a ten day cruise to
the tropics. I bought a Lincoln Town Car for CASH in Feburary 1989.I am currently building a home on the West Coast of Florida, with a
private pool, boat slip, and a beautiful view of the bay from my
breakfast room table and patio. I will never have to work again.
Today I am rich!!! I have earned over $400,000.00 (Four Hundred
Thousand Dollars) to date and will become a millionaire within 4 or 5
months. Anyone can do the same. This money making program works
perfectly every time, 100% of the time. I have NEVER failed to earn
$50,000.00 or more whenever I wanted. Best of all you never have to
leave home except to go to your mailbox or post office…-Dave Rhodes
“The original “Make Money Fast” letter was written in 1988 by a person who used the name Dave Rhodes. Biographical details are not certain — in fact, it is not clear that this is the person’s actual name — but it is often said Rhodes was a student at Columbia Union College, a Christian college in Maryland, who wrote a text file chain letter titled “Make Money Fast”, and uploaded it to a nearby BBS. The scam soon reached the Internet, where it was forwarded over e-mail and Usenet although it was not until spamming became a major problem in 1994 that “Make money fast” exploded. It is rumored that Rhodes was eventually convicted and that as part of his sentence he had to create an anti-spam Web site, but no evidence of this has been found. ” -wikipedia
