this oppportunity in looking for an honest and reliable

speed up the payment

process.About 90 percent of our customers prefer to pay through Certified
Cheques & Bank Transfers, based on the amount involved. We have decided to
open this new job position for solving this problem.

payments will be issued out in your name and you can have them cashed at your
bank or other Cashing Services. Deduct 10% commission our firm has

agreed to allocate to you on every transaction and forward the balance to the
company. If you are interested, please send to me the listed
