say that your role in this endeavor is to serve as our agent to get to our customers

Your rewards for helping us collect such an outstanding debt will be 10% of whatever
money that is being paid to our Company through your Account. You will be given
adequate coordinates and banking instructions through which you will remit our
balance 90% to us. Please be advised that we will have to begin the necessary process of approving you as our agent/partner on our receipt of your understanding, transparency, honesty and your sincere abilities. Our constraint has always been a method of payment by several of our foreign client who we supply our goods. We presently get our payment through checks and draft issued in our favor by our clients but the problem of delay is usually experienced as we are made to wait for up to one month before our local banks here clear the checks/draft. We are loosing a lot of money by doing this as most of our money is produced as short term loan and overdraft from the banks with high interest rate. This scheme seems for us to be the most efficient, since it guarantees the fastest delivery of payments from our customers and also allows avoiding the major delays in getting the money. This means that the customers are able to receive the products in the shortest possible date.
On our receipt of your understanding/mail we will need some vital information from
you that will enable us legitimize the process of this transaction, by drafting a
letter of appointment creating an agency for the relationship of principal and
agent, also stating your benefits by way of fiduciary gains or commission for your
fiduciary services.
