Subject: REPRESENTATIVE JOB OFFER!!!
Your Kind Attention:
I represent GRACELAND INT'L CORPORATION. An Import and Export Company based in China. My company exports consumables, processed raw materials and other goods/services for world trade.
What we really require is someone who can represent this company in the US/CANADA and some parts of Europe/Middle East.
We have been having problems with clients in these regions because they are politely refusing to pay for shipments on one excuse or the other, so we need a representative that can assist us in clearing our money in their respective countries.
Be informed that as our representative, you will receive 10% of whatever amount you receive for the company and the balance will be paid into an account we will avail to you.
The second thing required of you would be for you to establish a relationship on behalf of our company with other similar companies in your country so that we can have new ideas and directions.
This job is rather easy and does not require a lot of expertise. If you are interested in this business offer, please e-mail me at:
charles_beckman2000@yahoo.co.uk
Very respectfully,
Charles M. Beckman
President GRACELAND INT'L CORP
Goods for Import, Export & Freight Fwdg. Svcs.
