Dear Sir,ma

I have been selling my art for the last 10years 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 And Europe, they are always offering to pay with CHECK

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 partime worker and i will be willing to pay 10%

for every transaction, which wouldnt affect ur present state of work,someone

who would help me recieve payments from my customers in the united states.i

mean someone that isresponsible and reliable,cause the cost of coming to the

untied state and getting payments is very expensive,

I am working on setting up a branch in the state, so for now I need a

representative in the united state who will be handling the payment aspect.

This business will not cost you any amount of money, my customers will

send you the CHECK through a courier company and the courier company will

deliver the package to your doorstep, as soon as you receive the

package from the courier company, just take the CHECK to your bank and

cash them.

If you are interested, please get back to me as soon as possible, I

shall be waiting for your quickly response,

Thanking you in advance and God be with you.
