Some comments by the Scam-O-Matic about the following email:

• The following phrases in this message should put you on alert:
  • "cashiers check" (Beware of any scheme that involves cashing checks or money orders and then wiring a portion of the funds somewhere - you'll be liable for the entire amount if the checks or money orders turn out to be fake, even after you have received and forwarded cash)
• This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
  
• Western Union money transfer is completely untraceable and therefore is *not* safe to use with anyone you do not know personally. It is the preferred method of online criminals to collect money from their victims.
• This email lists free webmail addresses. Use of such addresses is typical for scams. Lotteries, banks and any but the smallest of companies do not normally use such addresses. Criminals use them to anonymously send and receive email at Internet cafes.

My name is Dr.Dean wallace Financial Director/CEO Adams

time paying job .Adams kids Child care needs a
representative in the United States and Canada. This
project has been developed in a way not to affect your
present job nor bring you any form of stress but in
order to help take care of those extra costs in the
area of Financial Independence;we empower people by
providing the keys to controlling your income and
quality of life.This job would be based on contract
and commission terms, it is a part-time job and it
would involve quite a handful of trust and honesty.
This is tax free because we have a Provisional Tax ID

interested in including a good paying, part time job
to your daily list of activities.

Adams kids have been known over the years for the
production of quality and affordable kids wears for
different ages, sizes and to suit all weathers with
supplies made all over the globe especially to
orphanage homes and for charity purposes. Adams kids
Child Care is one of the UK largest Christian charity
organization working with orphans, young people
addicted to drugs and families in the developing
nations and the world. With over 100 projects in the
UK, the United States, Africa and Asia, we are
committed to professional social work as a practical
expression of our Christian faith and love towards
humanity, our work would be impossible if it wasnt for
the support of individuals, the world health
organization (WHO), UNICEF and the partnership of
local authorities, trusts and companies.

Many of the children we work with in Africa, Asia some
part of Europe have lost one or both parents because
of Aids and other pandemic diseases spreading so fast
with mortality rates increasing to 36% this year.

I have just been granted a funding to head a charity
support project in part of Asia and Africa counseling
on HIV/AIDS which is increasing at an alarming rate
and provision of basic amenities in support to
humanitarian services to the third world nations and
this would be commencing very soon in conjunction with
Rotary International and UNICEF.
We will send you payments made to us in the form of
money orders, cashiers checks, travellers checks, bank
drafts, treasury bills which are readily cashable,cash
them at your bank and deduct 10% of the fund processed
by you after which you forward the remaining fund to
any of our territorial managers wherever the fund will
be needed by western union, you will be paying for the
western union charge from the above balance of the
funds after deducting your 10% ,you only need to give
two hours a fortnight. That is 0.6% of your time. Its
nothing to you but It's everything to the kids.

Kids Child Care, and we value the contribution that
they bring. With regular project team
meetings,correspondence via emails, development days
and conferences, everyone can make a real contribution
to our work with children, young people and families

clearing this fund here takes longer time and 25% is
deducted from it at the bank Bear it in mind that we
would be dealing with quite a handful of cash and you
could be making good money working with us 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, get back to
