Attn Ceo,
Ceo?
We have a job offer available for you, We got your email address from an Online Job search directory.
Which directory? Note: This email was sent to an address not used by me on Monster, etc.
We are a very small International trading company with our corporate headquarters based in Japan.We deal on raw materials and finished personal care Products including live long products. Due to our competent records we have been recieving orders from EUROPE,UNITED KINGDOM ,AUSTRALIA and NORTHERN AMERICA which we have not been able to process competently since we do not have a payment recieving personel in these Areas, as it is difficult to have payments sent from foreign, countries processed
within a short time in ASIA.
recieving? personel? You don’t have access to a spell checker?
We have decided to recruit payment officers online hence we will be needing a representative to process our payments in these areas – due to delays in processing payments from these areas in ASIA. We offer flexible program: two hours/day at your choice, daytime and evening time. Work at home: checking e-mail and going to the bank Part time or full time Professional contact team with very good support and communication skills Other highlights: no selling involved, no kit to buy,we won’t charge you anything Monthly salary: $250 every two weeks to a total of $500 per month Commission:10% of every money order/check that is cashed instantly “cash in hand” or “cash on counter” is what you get from the total cashed amount.

EXAMPLE If you receive a check of $1,000.00 your 10% Commission is
$100.00,our company supports any fees.

Perhaps (Sir) Michael Lee can tell us why a Japanese (or is it Hong Kong?) company would send an email from a computer in the U.K.?
