The Christian Gift Exchange Variant

This particularly horrific variation purports to try to be some sort of a Christian Charity program. This is almost too sickening to post, but people have to see the extent some of these scam artists will go to to try to make some money off of other people. I can only hope that in the end, this person's "Christianity" will be called to account.

I'm sorry, I started dissecting this one, but became too violently disgusted and outraged. I can't do this one even remotely dispassionately. Please just throw up in the privacy of your own home on this one.

(please note that this program was taken from a mailing program and posted electronically. The intent was that people would then not have to spend money for printing and postage fees. Please read on, and wherever the following instructs you to mail out letters to people, simply post your letters on newsgroups, web pages, and such. That way, it's all free. Read on...)

Dear Friend,

The original intent of this program was to provide low income Christian families with a viable means to increase their income. From the very beginning the program has been a phenomenal success.

So successful in fact, that many groups now use a slightly modified version of this program as a major fund raiser. With "Mass Mailings", a return of several million dollars is quite common. Obviously, the average family can not afford to do a mass mailing, however, most families can afford a small mailing."

"People Helping People" ---- "Give And Ye Shall Receive". These two phrases probably describe this program better than any other. It's a marvelous program that provides a wonderful opportunity for individuals or families to greatly increase their income in a very short period of time. For all who participate, and truly believe in the above philosophy, the rewards are great!

For those of you that are not yet familiar with the program, this is basically how it works. Simply by giving "ONE" person a small $10.00 gift and following the instructions below, you will receive in return, hundreds and perhaps thousands of $10.00 gifts in the next 30 days. This program has helped literally thousands of people from all walks of life to dramatically improve their financial situation. IT WORKED FOR THEM AND IT WILL WORK FOR YOU!!

Due to the low investment and super fast turn around time, this program has consistently produced a new member participation rate of between 10% and 20%.(If you restrict your mailing ot fellow Christians, the participation rate jumps to well over 50%). A 10% to 20% participation rate may not sound like much, but because the program is based on a "Four Tier Multi-level System", those numbers can equate to a huge sum of money very quickly.

One of the most important features of the program is that you can join in at whatever level you choose ---- whatever you can afford! Obviously the more letters you send out, the more $10.00 gifts you are going to recieve.

If you want to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity and become a participating member in the "Christian Gift Exchange" program, follow these simple guidelines.

Step #1 On a plain sheet of paper print your name and address and print the words "Christian Gift Exchange". Wrap it around a $10.00 bill and mail it to the first person on the list (only the first person on the list gets your gift)

Step #2 Obtain a good quality mailing list of as many names as you can afford to mail out.

Step #3 Have as many copies of this letter made as you plan to mail out

Step #4 When you have your mailing list and the copies of this letter, and mail them out as soon a possible.

(As suggested above, by posting this letter electronically in as many places as you can find, you save the costs of printing up this letter and postage for mailing them. Posting this letter electronically is highly recommended...)

If you don't already have a good source for names you might want to consider Prime Source Publishing Co. in Sacramento, Ca. They seem to have an endless supply of good quality names of people that are interested in making more money. Their prices are very reasonable and the service is first rate.

If you order your mailing list from Prime Source be sure to let them know that you are working the "Christian Gift Exchange". They will make sure that you get the "RIGHT" kind of names and they will also make sure that everyone gets a different list of names. VERY IMPORTANT! (that is, if you wish to spend the extra money)

A quick program recap --- all you have to do is send "ONE" person a small $10.00 gift and mail out only as many letters as you can afford. That's it! The average turn around time is 30 to 45 days. THe average return for new first time members that send out 100 or more letters is $66,580.00, with returns between $75,000.00 and $90.000.00 being quite common.

If your concerned about the legality of the program, don't be... it's perfectly legal in all 50 states. You might want to refer to Title 18, sections 1302 and 1341 of the U.S. Postal and Lottery code which will put your mind at ease.(for people who wish to participate in the program, but live outside the U.S., verify that this program is legal in your area first).

IF YOU START THE "CHRISTIAN GIFT EXCHANGE" PROGRAM TODAY --- 30 DAYS FROM NOW YOUR MONEY WORRIES WILL BE OVER ... FOREVER!!

Good luck and God bless ...

This has to be the most disgusting of these that I have seen so far. It really makes me want to retch.
