This is SECOND WARNING.
I wrote about this earlier in these lists but seems that
it didn't help. We keep still getting these MAKEMONY.TXTs

Dear Friend,
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 Apple computer and my modem. I longed to turn my advocation
into my vocation.

Sincerely yours,
Dave Rhodes
