Hello there,
Greetings to you. I 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
paying job in which you could earn a lot. Before I go
further I thought I'd inform you of both who you would
be working for and what you would be doing. My name is
Jeffry Wash, 45 years of age, 3 kids, a lovely girl
and 2 troublesome boys, and the love of my life, my
wife. I am a somewhat multitalented man and I do quite
a lot of traveling and get to meet quite lot of
people. 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 institute which gives me
very much time to do my own work which is basically
being a freelance researcher who could be employed by
research institutes to do research projects anywhere
in the world. I reside in Dublin, Ireland and UK
because of my research.
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 and
this would be commencing very soon. However my funding
was by my American counterparts who sent me the bunch
of payments mostly in US based money orders/check.
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 and a whole lot of other requirements I
am not ready to deal with, as I would be traveling a
lot in the meantime. So presently, assuming you would
be able to deal with cash, I would be willing to
employ you on contract basis to be my payment
representative back in the states, this way you can
receive the money in your account and send it to
wherever I want you to send it to. You are to keep 10%
of the total amount you receive on my behalf as your
commission and then send the rest to me wherever I
will be. Bear it in mind that we would be dealing with
quite a handful of cash and you do not have to go out,
as you will work as an independent contractor right
from your home/office. You can earn up to $3000 -$4000
just working with me in a short period of time. I
would be glad if you accept my proposal and I intend
to commence on starting as soon as you are ready. If
you are interested, email me back so we could make
concluding arrangements. When replying include the
following requested details below: Email back with the details below on
