Dear Sir/Madam,
Good day to you, my name is Pat Williams, I am an artist with my husband Tommy williams, and we are the owner of Susan Art World. I live in Cote D'Ivoire (Abidjan) with my two kids, four cats, one dog and the love of my life my husband Tommy Bryant, it is definitely a full house.
I have been doing artwork since I was a small child. That gives me about 23 years of experience. I majored in art in high school and took a few college art courses. Most of my work is done in either pencil or air brush mixed with color pencils. I have recently added designing and creating artwork on the computer. I have been selling my art for the last 3 years and have had my work featured on trading cards, prints and in magazines. I have marketed all my art works & galleries to private companies in Europe.
I'm always facing serious difficulties when it comes to payments, That is all my customers in Europe are always offering to pay with Euro check, And it is very difficult for me to cash Euro CHECKS HERE in Cote D'Ivoire, The Cote D'Ivoire Government does not permit Europe checks IN Cote D'Ivoire .
Right now, I'm looking for a representative in the (Europe) who can be helping me to cash the Check IN THE (Europe) and send the cash to me here in Cote D'Ivoire (Abidjan), I have a lot of customers in Europe and they all wanted to pay me with Check, so I write you to seek for your help, I want you to be my partner in Europe, so that all my customers can be issuing the CHECKS to your name and you will CASH THE CHECK and send CASH to me here in Cote D'Ivoire.
If you accept this offer, you will stand the chance of receiving 10 PERCENT from all the money which my customers owe me, I will order all my customers to raise CHECK on your name and send it to you, then when you receive the CHECK and cash them, you will deduct 10% from the total money and send the balance to me here in Cote D'Ivoire.
This project is 100% risk free and it is legal from the Europe Government, if you are interested, kindly send me the below information's,there are some customers that are about making their payments through CHECKS.So if you respond to this email with the below information's then i will forward it to my customer immediately :
1. Your Complete Full Names:.................................................

Friendly Regards,
Mrs. Pat Williams.
