Recently, some of our clients/customers in the United States informed
us that they would no longer be making payments by Letters of Credit
and that payments will only be made to and within the United States
as is their new company policy.
As a result of this we have not been able to collect and verify several
outstanding sums of payments owed us. We are searching and
recruiting representatives who can help us establish a medium of
getting to our costumers in Canada,America and Europe as well as
making Secure payments through you to us.

Subject to your satisfactory acceptance, you will be given the
opportunity to negotiate your mode of payment for your services
as our representative in Canada/America and/or Europe.
Be informed that at no point or time will we ask you to spend any
of your personal money and if you do not have the capacity to receive
large funds in your account and also cannot manage these funds as we
may instruct you from time to time, then you need not contact us
as this is a 100% qualification requirement.

On the alternatetive, if you are interested, forward to us your phone
number/fax and your full contact addresses,I will also appreciate it
if you can furnish us with your occupation, all detailed in an
email.
Your prompt response will be greatly appreciated.
