Hello,
How are you doing today? I hope that all is well.
Would you like to work online from home and get paid?
SINO IRON & STEEL TRADING CORPORATION. needs a book-keeper in the State, so
i want to know if you will like to work online from home and get paid
without leaving or affecting your present job?
We are group of business men involved in the production and exportation of
semi finish steel products, such as Low alloy vessels,Carbon plates,Ship
building plate,Plate for boiler/Vessel,to europe,canada and america.
We need someone to work for the company as a representative/book keeper in
the states. My company deals in the sales of semi finish steel products,
such as Low alloy vessels,Carbon plates,Ship building plate,Plate for
boiler/Vessel from all over the world and we have clients that we supply
weekly in the States.
My clients make payments for our supplies every week in form of wire
transaction, Money Orders, and cheque, which are not readily cashable
outside the United States, so we need someone in the States to work as our
representative and assist us in processing the payments from our clients and
you would be paid $600 per any payment you receive.
ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS TO RECEIVE THIS PAYMENTS FROM OUR CLIENTS IN THE
STATES GET IT CASHED THEN DEDUCT YOUR $600 FOR YOURSELF AS WE HAVE SAID YOU
WILL FOWARD THE BALANCE TO THE COMPANY DOWN HERE VIA WESTERN UNION MONEY
TRANSFER.
Our payments will be issued out in your name and you get them cashed deduct
$600 for yourself as we have said, and forward the balance to the company
via western union. Basically, what the Company is searching for is a
Representative/Book-keeper in the State, who would help to establish a
medium of getting our funds from our customers over there. If you are
interested in working with us we would be very glad as inability to get our
payment in cash has posed a big problem and has affected account
reconciliation and turn over grossly.
These are legitimate transactions between our customers and our company
Representative. We are offering $600 per any payment you receive and subject
to your satisfaction you will be given the opportunity to negotiate the mode
by which we will pay for your services as our official
Representative/Book-keeper in the States. The mode we would prefer would be
instant deduction of your own share from the amount you cashed before going
ahead to send whatever is left for the company via Western union money
transfer. But, sometimes the FBI gets involved incase if someone trys to run
away with our money.
We are aware that you would be charged to have the money sent
whatever, that would be deducted from the balance of the funds after you
must have deducted your own share which is $600.
Please, if you are interested forward the following information so that, i
can send you the employment form:
1.Full name:
2.Phone number:
3.Full contact address:
4.Nationality:
5.Marital status:
I await your urgent response, Kindly reply back.
Warmest Regards,
Steve Sheldon.
