Dear Ms. Desiree Sargeant

I have received your mail, first I must thank you for
your interest to being my payment agent in this
endeavour but before we commence, it will be better
you know more about this as you have indicated, I seek
a payment agent in your province because of language
barrier. I find problem in dealing directly with my
customers, so to this end I seek the assitance of
individuals or a group to assist me.

As regards our mail to you, I own a company in the
china which is into import and export of Raw materials
to other companies especially in Europe, america and
canada. We normally encounter problems when been paid
because it takes a while for European,america and
canada cheques to clear here in the china, so this has
prompted me to search for a payment agent, who would
stand on behalf of my company, China Metallurgical
Import & Export Henan Company (CMIEC HN)

Presently,we are been owed up to $490,000 us dollars
and the company in question has agreed to begin
installmental payment.If you are willing to assist,
you will be paid 5% of the total sum you collect on
behalf of my company as an agent

All you have to do is send me your full names,detailed
mailing address,telephone and fax numbers, Driver,s
licence or international passport number for proper
identification. Once you have done this,I would
instruct the company to send the check to you which
you would deposit into your account. When the check
clears you would then pay the balance (after you have
deducted your fee )into an account which I shall
provide for you.

You are required to fill an "Agent alocation Form"
with all necessary details. Please see the attachment
To download the form.

After downloading, kindly fill, and send to us either
By email attachment for due processing. upon this,
an agent number will be alocated for you and these give
you the licence to collect funds on our behalf.

Note that the info you shall provide shall be subject
to final approval. I hope to hear from you soon with your
filled form and means of your identification.

Have a nice day.

Regards,

Dr Wo lee,
President.
China Metallurgical Import & Export Henan Company.
