Subject: Representative Assistant
Dear Sir/ma,
My name is Andrew Richards 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
galleries, 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 part time worker and I am willing to pay for every transaction, which
wouldn't affect your 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 states 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 States 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 10% percentage from
the sent money to you 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 involved. It wouldn't cost you any
amount, you are to receive payments which will be sent to u by FedEx or USPS
from my business partners, which would come in form of a money order then
you 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. To
facilitate the conclusion of this transaction if accepted, do send me by
mail promptly with the following:
1. Your Full name and present Occupation
2. Telephone number
3. Contact address.
Thanks in this regards and looking forward to a fruitful relationship.
Regards
Andrew Richards
