MR. RICHARD BENSON

Hello Sir,
How are you doing today?I just came about your email address and your brief profile through an email listing affiliated with the US Chamber of Commerce and I would be very interested in offering you a part-time job in which you could earn alot.Before I go any further,my name is Dr. Richard Brnson,a 47 year old freelance consultant.I live with my wife,3 kids and 2 dogs. Based on my prevoius and persent job,i do quite a lot of traveling and get to meet a lot of people in this respect. I just resigned my job as a research scientist for ARINI (Agricultural Research Institute of Northern Ireland (www.arini.ac.uk),but I still work as a freelance consultant for the instistute which gives me enough time to do my own work which basically is freelance research.I can be employed by any search institute to do research projects anywhere in the world.
I reside in Dublin, Ireland and even though I have lived most of my life in other parts of the world, I am fully residing in Ireland. Presently,
I have just been granted a funding to head a research project in the tropical regions of West Africa regarding rare and vulnerable plant species.This would be commencing very soon,however my funding is by my American sponsors.They recently have informed me that my payments best preferably will be sent in US based Money Orders. I have checked Getting an accountant in the states or opening an account would have been my best choice but I have a deadline to meet and taking any of those choices would cost me time,money and a whole lot of other requirements I am not available to deal with at the moment as I would be traveling a lot in this present times.
So presently,I need a trustworthy American I am willing to employ on contract basis to be my payment representative. This way I can request the payment to be issued out to you as my American payment representative.You will liquidate the money orders easily at the bank or cash point, withdraw 8% of the total amount on these money orders as your salary and then send the rest back through a more favorable means to me.
Bear it in mind that we will be dealing with quite a handful of cash but you do not have to go out of your way,as you will work as an independent contractor right from your home/office.You can earn up to $3000 -$4000 a month,depending on how fast you can cash the payments.I have a long list of american sponsors who all want the results of my incoming research.I will be glad if you accept my proposal,I intend to commence sending you funds as soon as you are ready and proven trustworthy. If interested, please respond expediently to my alternative email address provided below,so we make concluding arrangements.
