Subject: JOB OFFER



Hello,
My name is kevin morgan I was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio. I am
presently employed in England. At this time, I am happy to inform you
that we are seeking a Male or Female, who would like to work for us as a
PART-TIME Collection Representative. You will make 10% on every job you
complete.
We are advising you that this will not affect your present state of
employment if you are currently in a working status, but rather get the
extra cash into your wallet that you may require. Our main factory is located in U.K. Our business > extracts raw materials needed for the manufacturing of fabrics from Great
Britian, Asia and South America. We produce standard articles for promotional, catering,
hotel and laundry industries.

We are also able to produce manufactured goods to our customer’s specific design requirements. As our main area of business lies within the promotional market, we are constantly working with
our clients on new and innovative designs and provide a fast and flexible service. Blank Tea Towels, Cotton Canvas Bags and Cotton Drill Aprons are our most popular products used by screen printers and embroiderers for tourism, schools, special events and promotions.
Currently, we are in need of representatives. We seek persons who are honest, sincere, trustworthy, capable and reliable that would help us receive payments from our customers.

The reason why we need this rep is because it takes too long for a U.S. drawn check to clear here in the UK, which delays our supplies/services. So we look for a representative that will handle that aspect of receiving and cashing checks for us in the USA, and send the money in cash down to us utilizing Western Union or Moneygram services. As specified aforementioned, we are willing to pay
10% on every payment you recieve on our behalf. You are still able to maintain your
regular employment position, while you work for us on a PART-TIME basis. All you have to do is help us receive payments from our customers. These payments will come in the form of checks in your
name and sent to your address via FedEx. So you just need to cash it, deduct your 10% and send
the rest of the money down to the info we're going to provide you with.

All we need now is to build a rapport with you based on trust. But we have our way of getting anyone that gets away with our money via different enforcement procedures available to protect the company.

If you are interested, I will send you an employment letter, which you are to sign and send back to the Chief Human Resources Officer for foreign employees as soon as possible. The company requires your full name, home address, e-mail address, and your phone number for a human resources employee to get in touch with you concerning your employment status. You need not pay any amount of money to get this job. Its quite easy and pays well. All the while you earn 10% per business completion. By
accepting the position with our company, you are helping us maintain our US-based customers and enlarging the company’s scope.

You can also email the company’s Chief Human Resources Officer in charge of employing foreign

reps at this permanent ID (kevin.craftworld@yahoo.co.uk) Or call for more
Enquiries and information.
