Subject: We Will like to know if you can..
Hello,
My name is LIND Kathy Smith, I am an artist with my husband KENNET Smith,We
own Century Art World in London(United Kingdom)I live in London United
Kingdom, with my two kids, four cats, one dog and the love of my life my
husband KENNET Smith. It is definitely a full house, I have been doing
artwork since I was a small child That gives me about 30 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 airbrush 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 sold in galleries and to
private collectors from all around the world. I am always facing serious
difficulties when it comes to selling my art works to Americans, they are
always offering to pay with MONEY ORDER or CHEQUE ,which is difficult for me
to cash here in London United Kingdom.
I am looking for a representative in the states who will be working for me
as a part time worker and i will be willing to pay 10% for every
transaction, which wouldn’t affect your present state of work, someone who
would help me receive payments from my customers in the states, I mean
someone that is responsible and reliable, because the cost of coming to the
state and getting payments is very expensive, I am working on setting up a
branch in the state, so for now i need a epresentative in the united state
who will be handling the payment aspect for our company.
These payments are in money order or cheque and they would come to you in
your name if you are willing to assist as a representative, so all you need
do is cash the money order or cheque deduct your percentage and Western
Union Charges then wire the rest back.
But the problem i have is trust however i think i can truth you that why i
am sending you this e-mail, But i have my way of getting anyone that gets
away with our money, I mean the FBI branch in Washington gets involve. It
wouldn’t cost you any amount, you are to receive payments which will be sent
to you by fedex or ups from my business partners/customers for there
order,which i guess will come to you in form of a money order or cheque then
you are to cash it and send the cash to me via Western Union or Money Gram.
NOTE:All charges will be deducted from the money so you are rest assured
that you wouldn’t send a dime out of your personal money.If you are
interested, please get back to me by sending the following
1.Full Name
2.Home Address
3.Mobile and Home Phone Number
4.0ccupation
5.Age
6.Account number.
