Subject: MORE INFORMATION
Thanks for your response BOND IMPORT AND EXPORT is based in the UK. We exports cocoa, rubber and other goods/services for world trade.
We seek a representative that can help my company in clearing our money, because most of our customers pay with cheques and we don't have an account in your country that will clear this money.
As our representative you will receive 10% of any money you clear for the company, that is how you will be paid by the company then you will pay the balance of 90% to us.
If you are interested in our offer please re-confirm your mailing address and phone numbers so that i will fax it to our customers instructing them that you are our rep/Agent and that they should pay through you. Waiting to hear from you.
Regards,
Paul Keller
