>couldn't believe what happened! I can't say I received $50,000,

>Another lefter: I tried a similar program in which the cost was

>I did not have a modem I sent out letters regular mail. I
>created a few mailing labels and printed out all of the labels on
>pressure sensitive tape. The first mailing that I used the $1.00
>dollar per reponse approach I started to get return mail in just
>over one week! I sent out 200 letters instead of 100 that is
>required if you use the mail instead of the bulletin boards.
>Additionally, I included as many friends, relatives, classmates,
>that I could think of in order to encourage their participation
>if they happened to recognize my name, so my percentage of gain

>Additional Notes: This system works equally well if mailed out

>send out another 100 letters with copies of the program enclosed.
