Good Day,
Let me start by introducing myself,My name is William McDonald and I own a
company that sells Chinese and African textile and fabric material in United
Kingdom,I am looking for a trustworthy representative in USA /Canada that
can help as a link between me and my client over there.I would like to know
if you are interested to work from home for us ACTEXO TEXTILE LIMITED needs
a book-keeper or representative in the states,so I want to know if you will
like to work on line from home and get paid weekly without leaving or
affecting your present job? I presently run a textile and fabrics firm in
Hong Kong and we need someone to work for the company as a
representative/book keeper in Canada/USA.
My company produces various clothing materials, batiks, assorted fabrics
and traditional costumes.We have clients we supply weekly in the states and
my clients make payments for our supplies every week in form of money
orders or cashiers check which are not readily cashable outside the US or
Canada,so we need someone in the States/Canada to work as our representative
and assist us in processing the payments from our clients and I will pay
him/her a weekly wage, by percentage.
All you need to do is receive this payment from our clients in the States or
Canada and get it
cashed in your bank then deduct your 10% and forward the balance to the
company down here via
money gram or western union money transfer.The main reason why the funds
cannot be cashed
down here is that it would take 24-28 days for a a US money order to pass
through the bank
here an d that would tie down my capital and not make business move fast as
i Expected,but a US
money order presented to the bank in the US would clear latest within 48hrs
and the person that used to help me cash the money orders before that is my
former representative has moved to Germany with his family.
Our payments will be issued out in your name and you get them cashed in your
bank, deduct your
10% of the initial capital and forward the balance to the company by money
transfer.So all I need is to forward your information to our numerous
clients in the states or Canada and they will contact
you before they issue payment in form of money order or cheques then send it
via courier or mail to you.
If accepted I will need your full name, address and phone number so we can
send it to our
clients and they will start making payments to you as the company
representative in the
states.
AS SOON AS WE CONFIRM ANY PAYMENT COMING TO YOU,I WILL LET YOU KNOW AND I
WILL GIVE YOU THE INFORMATION TO SEND FUNDS TO THE COMPANY VIA MONEYGRAM OR
WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER.
NB:Please reply me via my alternative email:

Thanks and I await your sooner response.
William McDonald
