Good tidings to you as you read. My name is Dr. Mark Fitch. I am a freelance researcher and Chief Consultant of Fitch Consultng and Research Inc. I was born in Baltimore, Maryland in the year 1967, I presently live in the United kingdom, with my three kids and the love of my life. I would be very interested in offering you a part-time paying job in which you could earn a lot. I just came about your email address and your brief profile through an email listing affiliated with the US Chamber of Commerce.

WH AT YOU NEED TO DO FOR US?
Presently, I have just been granted a funding to head a research project in the tropical regions of West Africa regarding rare and vulnerable plant species and this would be commencing very soon, However my funding were by my American counterparts which sent me the bunch of payments mostly in US based money orders. Getting an accountant in the states or opening an account would have been my best choice but I have a deadline to meet and taking any of those choices would cost me time and a whole lot of other requirements I am not ready to deal with, as I would be traveling a lot in the meantime. So presently, assuming you would be able to deal with cash, I would be willing to employ you on contract basis to be my payment representative back in the states, this way I could issue and make these money orders out to you, you could then cash them easily, withdraw 10% of the total amount on these money orders as your commission and then send the rest bac k to me through Western Union wire transfer. You will be furnished with enough information to send the balance less Western union charges and your 10% to us when we confirm a payment being sent to you.

Please if you are honest and dedicated and willing to work for us I will be needing the following information to get to my US based clients so that you can start receiving our payments as our US based representative.
1. Full name as it should appear on the Money orders and checks,
2. Physical address so that the payments can be sent to you via Ups, Fed ex or Usps courier service.
3. Your home and cell phone number for better communication.
Please reply this email with the information i asked for only if you are really dedicated and trustworthy. The link to our website will be up soon as it is being re-designed right now. Expecting
Only interested applicants should respond to this offer and forward all information requested to drmfitch1@gmail.com


to read from you soon.
Warm Regards,
but.
