From: "Sino Steel Company" <sino_tradingcompany@msn.com>

Subject: REPRESENTATIVE NEEDED URGENTLY
--Dear Sir/MadamI am Mr. Lee Lu Chang,a chinese businessman involved in the production and exportation of semi finish steel products to Europe,Canada and America.
We really need representatives in these regions /provinces for my business to succeed as it is now and that is the reason why i am contacting you now.I am looking for a man/woman who is trustworthy to be in charge of receiving cash on my company's behalf in his/her country.If you know you are not trustwothy please do not borther to reply,because a lot of money is involved here. All I am asking you is, if you would like to earn 10% of any amount you help collect from customers.One of the vital reason for this new development is that before, things were not as difficult as this for SINO STEEL TRADING COMPANY and exporters in the East because checks from these countries never took time before they are cleared in our territory, but now it takes weeks and this slows down the production of the company.some of these customers even issued checks that will not be clear eventually at the end of the day and these has being creating more financial problems for the company (SINO STEEL TRADING COMPANY) and including other eastern businessmen.The best part of this job offer is that you do not have to leave your present place of employment because it is on a part-time basis. You can ask any question concerning the areas where you are not clear and I assure you that we will answer them to the best of our knowledge.
thank you.
