Please see section 6. of the filter.txt document.
The $ symbol has a special meaning in an expanded string. You
can escape it to get a literal $ by preceding it with a
backslash... but since the backslash also has a special meaning
in a quoted string, you need to escape each with another
backslash. So I believe what you want is something like:
$header_subject contains "\\$\\$\\$ PLEEEEEEEASE READ!" or
