ALMAC ARTS & CRAFTS
Units 7A & 75B, Broadgate Business Park,

NG7 5RX, UNITED KINGDOM
Dear Sir/Madam,
My name is Mr. Richard Spencer. I'm 55years old of age. I own ALMAC ARTS &
CRAFTS in London, Zealand (United Kingdom). I live in England,United
Kingdom, with my two kids, four cats, and one dog.
I have recently added designing and creating artwork on the computer, I have
been selling my art for the past 8 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 and Canada,
they are always offering to pay with money order or casheir's cheque and
American Express Traveler's cheques, which is difficult for me to cash here
in the United Kingdom.
I am looking for a representative in the United States Of America and Canada
who will be working for me as a par-time worker and I will be willing to pay
10% for every transaction, which wouldn't affect your present state of work,
someone who would help me receive payments from my customers in the United
state and Canada, I mean someone that is responsible and reliable, because
the cost of coming to the United state,Canada and getting payments is very
expensive. I am working on setting up a branch in the United state and
Canada, so for now, I need a representative in the United States Of America
and Canada who will be handling the payment aspect for our company.
NB: PLEASE I WANT TO MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THIS TRANSACTION DOES NOT
REQUIRE ANY FEES FROM YOU AND YOUR 10% SHOULD BE DEDUCTED IMMEDIATELY THE
PAYMENT HAS BEEN MADE. YOU SHOULD ALWAYS KEEP THE COMPANY INFORMED IF ANY OF
OUR CUSTOMERS CONTACTED YOU IN RESPECT OF PAYMENT OR ANY OTHER ISSUES.YOU
ARE EXPECTED TO ALWAYS GIVE REPLY TO EVERY SINGLE MAIL YOU RECEIVED FROM
THIS COMPANY
If You are interested, Kindly provide me with:
Your Name.
Your Address (NOT P.O Box)
City, State, Zip
Occupation.
Phone Number(s)
Age
Regards
Mr. Richard Spencer
