Hello,
My name is Dereck Donald and I am an artist.I live in
England,with my two
kids, one dog and the love of my life.It is definitely
a full house. I have
been doing artwork since I was a small child when i
was in Canada werei
took interest in arts that gives me about 23 years of
experience. I majored
in art in high school and took a few college art
courses. Most of my work
is done in either pencil or airbrush mixed with color
pencils. I have
recently added designing and creating artwork on the
computer.I have been
selling my art for the last 4to 5 years and have had
my work featured on
trading cards, prints and in magazines.I have sold in
galleries,museumsand
to private collectors from all around the world.I am
always facing serious
difficulties when it comes to selling my art works to
Americans,they are
always offering to pay with a US POSTAL MONEY
ORDER,which is difficult for
me to cash here in England.
I am l ooking for a representative in the states who
will be working for me
as a partime worker and i am willing to pay for every
transaction,which
wouldn't affect ur present state of work,someone who
would help me recieve
payments from my customers in the states.i mean
someone that is responsible
and reliable,cause the cost of coming to the state and
getting payments is
very expensive,i am working on setting up a branch in
the state,so for now
i need a representative in the united state who will
be handling the
payment aspect.
These payments are in money order and they would come
to you in your name,
so all you need do is cash the money order deduct your
percentage and wire
the rest back.But the problem i have is trust,But i
have my way of getting
anyone that gets away with our money,i mean the FBI
branch in
Washington gets involve.
It wouldnt cost u any amount,u are to receive payments
which will be sent
to u by fedex or usps from my business patners, which
would come in form of
a money order then u are to cash it and send the cash
to me via western
union money transfer allwestern union charges will be
deducted from the
money.If you are interested,please get back to me as
soon as possible.with
this address derek_artwork_1960@yahoo.com
Regards,
dereck Donald.
