Subject: Dear Friend.
On 2nd Aug 2006, Mr William Gross of London England wrote to you:
Hello,
My name is William Gross and I am an artist. I live in England, with my two
kids, one dog and the love of my life. It is definitely a full house. I have
been doing artwork since I was a small child when I was in Canada were I
took interest in arts that gives me about 23 years of experience. I majored
in art in high school and took a few college art courses.
Most of my work is done in either pencil or airbrush mixed with color
pencils.I have recently added designing and creating artwork on the
computer.
I have been selling my art for the last 4 to 5 years and have had my work
featured on trading cards, prints and in magazines. I have sold in
gallerries, museums 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; they are always offering to pay with a US POSTAL MONEY ORDER,
which is difficult for me to cash here in England.
I am looking for a representative in the states who will be working for me
as a partime worker and I am willing to pay for every transaction, which
wouldn't affect our present state of work, someone who would help me receive
payments from my customers in the states. I mean someone that is responsible
and reliable, because the cost of coming to the state and getting payments
is very expensive, I am working on setting up a branch in the state, and so
for now I need a representative in the united state who will be handling the
payment aspect.
These payments are in money order and they would come to you in your name,
so all you need do is cash the money order deduct your percentage and wire
the rest back. But the problem I have is trust, but I have my way of getting
anyone that gets away with our money, I mean the FBI branch in Washington
gets involve.
It wouldn't cost you any amount are to receive payments which will be sent
to u by FedEx or UPS from my business partners, which would come in form of
a money order then u are to cash it and send the cash to me via western
union money transfer all western union charges will be deducted from the
money. If you are interested, please get back to me as soon as possible via
my alternative email address which is(williamgross_musical@yahoo.com}.
And please Include the below following informations in your response .
YOUR FIRST NAME........... LAST NAME..............
ADDRESS. ....................
CITY........ STATE...................
ZIP CODE........ COUNTRY..........
PHONE NUMBER (S) ......OCCUPATION...............
GENDER.....MARITAL STATUS.................
AGE.........NATIONALITY.........................
WAITING TO HEAR FAVOURABLY FROM YOU.
Regards,
MR William Gross.
