> pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of paper. "PLEASE
> PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get six (6) U.S.1.00 bills and place
> One inside of Each of the six pieces of paper so the bill will not be
> seen through the envelope (to prevent thievery). Next, place one paper
> in each of the six envelopes and seal them with the dollar bill
> enclosed. You now should have six sealed envelopes each with a piece of
> paper stating the above phrase with your name and address written
> thereon [don't forget to enclose the $1.00]. What you are doing is
> creating a service-THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting a
> legitimate service and you are paying for it. Clearly, I was a little
> skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it all.
> Therefore, I checked it out with the U.S. Postal Service
> (1-800-275-8777) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal. Mail the
> six envelopes to the following addresses:
>
> [1] Von Burchfield P.O. Box 8071 Bloomington, IN 47408
> [2] J. Dough 2309 Catalpa Drive Dayton, Ohio 45406
> [3] Joy Moore 400 S Kingsley Drive Los Angeles, CA 90020-3224
> [4] Al Pickering 509 North Pembroke Rd, NH 03275, USA
> [5] M. Thompson, 58 turnpike St., NH 03275
> [6] Cal Escue 26 Crestview Drive Milford, NJ 08848

> Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other

> Laws. Keep a copy of these directions for yourself and whenever you
