Hello
My name is Michael McNeill and I am an artist.I live in UNITED KINGDOM,with
my three kids, one cat, one dog. It is
definitely a full house. I have been doing artwork since I was a small child.
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 3 years and have had my work
featured on trading cards, prints and in magazines.I have sold in
galleries and 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 UNITED KINGDOM.
I am looking for a representative in the states who will be working for
me as a partime worker and i will be willing to pay 10% for every
transaction,which wouldnt affect your 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,because 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 to me in the United Kingdom.
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 you any amount,you are to receive payments
which will be sent to you by post from my business patners,which would come
in form of a money order then you are to cash it at your bank and send
the cash to me via western union money transfer all western union
charges will be deducted from the money.
If you are interested,please get back to me as soon as possible.
Regards
- Michael McNeill
