>from my late Dad in the UK and we need someone to work for the company as
a representative/book keeper in the States.
My company produces various clothing materials, batiks, assorted
fabrics and traditional costumes which we have clients we supply weekly in
the States.
My clients make payments for our supplies every week in form of Money
Orders which are not readily cashable outside the United States, So we
need someone in the States to work as our representative and assist us
in processing the payments from our clients and I will pay him weekly
salary.
ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS RECEIVE THIS PAYMENTS FROM OUR CLIENTS IN THE
STATES (PAYMENTS WILL BE ISSUED IN YOUR NAME) GET IT CASHED IN YOUR BANK

STATES AND THEY ISSUE PAYMENTS IN FORM OF MONEY ORDERS/CASHIER CHECK THEN
SEND IT TO YOU VIA MAIL OR COURIER.

to you as the company's representative in the States.
I WILL EMAIL YOU A LETTER OF EMPLOYMENT FORM OF OUR COMPANY WHICH YOU
HAVE TO REPLY WITH AN ACCEPTANCE LETTER AND A SCANNED COPY OF YOUR
IDENTIFICATION ATTACHED TO IT.
AS SOON AS WE CONFIRM ANY PAYMENT COMING TO YOU I WILL LET YOU KNOW AND
I WILL GIVE YOU THE INFORMATION TO SEND FUNDS TO THE COMPANY VIA
WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER.
