Hello,

 
         I am Stephen Woogie by name and I am an artist. I have acquired your email address as a person who is actively involved in or is looking for an online business opportunity or looking for a part time job to compliment current earnings.
 
I live in United Kingdom,with my two kids, four cats, one dog and the love of my life. It is definitely a full house. I have been doing artwork since I was a small child. That gives me about 23 years of experience. I majored in art in high school and took a few college art courses. Most of my work is done in either pencil or airbrush mixed with color pencils. I have recently added designing and creating artwork on the computer.I have been selling my art works for the last 3 years and have had my work featured on trading cards, prints and in magazines.
 
I have sold in galleries and to private collectors from all around the world. I am always facing serious difficulties when it comes to selling my art works to Americans, cos they are always offering to pay with a US MONEY ORDER/CERTIFIED CHECK, which is difficult for me to cash here in UnitedKingdom.
 
I am looking for a representative in the states who will be working for me as a part-time worker and i will be willing to pay 10% for every transaction,which wouldn't affect your present state of work, someone who would help me recieving payments from my customers in the states. I mean someone that is responsible and reliable, cause the cost of coming to the state and getting payments is very expensive, I am working on setting up a branch in the states, so for now I need a representative in the United States who will be handling the payment aspect.


These payments could be in  money order/check and they would come to you in your name, so all you need do is cash the money order deduct your percentage and wire the BALANCE back. But the problem I have is trust as I have been burnt many times in the states by some individuals.
 

JOB DESCRIPTION

3. Deduct 10% which will be your percentage/pay on Payment processed.
4. Forward balance afer deduction of percentage/pay to any of the offices you will be contacted to send payment to (Payment is to forwarded  by  Western UnionTransfer).
 

It wouldnt cost you any amount, you are to receive payments which will be sent to you via FEDEX or UPS courier services from my business patners, which would come in form of a Money order/Certified Cashier's Check in US Funds then you are to cash it and send the cash to me via Western Union Money Transfer or Moneygram Money Transfer, all transfer fees should be deducted from the money you are sending so you have nothing to lose. If you are interested..kindly get back to me at my private email  (  Stevwoogiearcadeart@hotmail.com  ) kindly get back to me ASAP for further explanation.
