Hello, My name is Tommy Bryant. I and my wife Susan Bryant are into art design and sales. I found your details on the internet while searching for trustworthy people across the United States and Canada who are interested in a potentially lucrative partnership with an international firm.
Susartworld Pty is an artwork company here in South Africa and we are currently expanding our operations in the online. But because of various banking and legal restrictions, we are unable to accept payment effectively from our online US and Canada customers. As such, we are recruiting partners to conduct simple banking transactions on our behalf.
The process is simple. If you are interested in becoming a US or Canada partner of our company, you would sign and agreement that would make you an official financial representative of our company, able to accept invoice payments on our behalf. Instead of asking our American clients who most times want to send a check to us or canada, which take more than a month to clear, we\'ll have them work with our partners to submit payments.
Susartworld Pty, pays it\'s partners a 15% commission on every transaction. In addition, we will take care of any incremental tax liability you incur, depending on which state you are in. And of course, depending on how good business is, your monthly commissions could be as high as $3000 united states dollars per month.
If you are interested in working with us, (and of course, you must be a honest person) or if you want more information, you can contact me directly at my personal email address: susartworldpty1@yahoo.com or susartworldpty@gmail.com . I\'ll need your full name, mailing address and contact telephone numbers so I can send you the contract and other paperwork necessary to get started.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best Regards,Tommy BryantSusartworld Pty.
