China mettallurgical
import and export company
(cmiec)www.cmiec.com
Company Address:338,
Yingeze Avenue,Yinge,
Taiyuan,Shanxi,China.
Dear Friend,
I own a company in the China which is into export of raw materials to
other companies especially in Europe and america. We normally
encounter problems when been paid because it takes a while for European
cheques
to clear here in the China so this has prompted me to search for a
payment agent in Europe, canada and america who would stand on behalf
of my
company.
Presently,we are been owed up to $490,000 and the
company in question has agreed to begin installmental payment.If you
are willing to assist,you would be paid 10% of the total sum you
collect on behalf of my company in any transaction that is passed
through you to
our company All yo u have to do is send me your full name,detailed
mailing address,tell and fax numbers.Once you have done this,I would
instruct the company to send the cheque to you which you would
deposit into your account.
When the cheque clears you would then pay the balance (after you have
deducted your fee ) into an account which I shall provide for you.
Note: that the info you shall provide shall be subject to final
approval because I am skeptical of the high rate of internet fraud
going on these days.
Endeavour to indicate your reference number as above in all of your
correspondence with us and get back to us.
Regards.
Mr Wong Sam
Managing Director
