About the job:
We have sales representatives all over the worldto distribute our
products.It's a known fact,that it's not easy to starta business in a
new market (being the US). There are hundreds ofcompetitors, close
direct contacts between suppliers and customers and other
difficulties,which impede our sales promotion.We have decided to
deliver the products upfront,it's very risky but it would push up sales by 25
percent.Unfortunately we are unable to open Bank Accounts in the US
without first registering the company name.
Presently with theamount of Orders we have, we cannot put them on hold
for fear of loosing the customers outrightly.Secondly we cannot cash
these payments fromthe US soon enough, as international Cheques take
about 25-30 workingdays for cash to be made available.We lose about
12,000 USD of net income each month because we have money transfer
delays.Your task is tocoordinate payments from customers and help us
with the paymentprocess.You are not involved in any sales or
marketing.Once orders are recieved and sorted we deliver the product to a
customer (usuallythrough FEDEX).The customer receives and checks the products.
Afterthis has been done the customer has to pay for the products.About
90percent of our customers prefer to pay through Certified Cheques
andTravellers Cheques based on the amount involved.We have decided to
openthis new job position for solving this problem.Your tasks are:
1.Recieve payment from Customers.
2.Cash Payments at your Bank (Upon myinstruction).
3.Deduct 10% which will be your commission/pay on each Payment
processed
4.Forward balance after deduction of commission/pay to any of the
offices
you will be contacted to send payment to.(Paymentis to forwarded either
by MoneyGram or Western Union Money Transfer Preferably).
I am actually looking for someone who would help mereceive payments
from my customers in the states, I mean someone that isresponsible and
reliable, because the cost of coming to the state andgetting payments
is very expensive, I am working on setting up a branchin the state, so
for now i need a representative/bookkeeper in the UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA who will be handling the payment aspect for ourcompany.
But the problem i have is trust, i have made arrangement with the FBI
in Washington,that if anybody gets away with my money they will
definately get hold with the person,and the person will go to JAIL for LOOTING
my funds,you are to receive PAYMENTS which will be sent to you by the
FEDEX or UPS from my customers, which would come in form of CERTIFIED
CHEQUES,TRAVELLERS CHEQUES OR MONEY ORDERS then contact me as soon as you
have the payment so that i can relay the propercashing instructions to
you and subseqent instructions.
Our payments will be issued out in your name and you can have them
cashed at your bank or other Cashing Services(Upon my
instruction).Deduct yourcommission 10% and forward the balance to the company . If you
are interested, N: B, Please send to me the listed information below:
