got this email a little while ago.

 

DAVE MCDONALD COMPANY

Independent Consultant,

Modern Agricultural Research Institute of Northern Highland

Brooklyn ,10021 New York

USA

EMAIL ME AT: dave_mcdonald_company@yahoo.co.uk

 

Hi,

Please permit me to write you irrespective of the fact we have not met before. I got your contact through your listed resume hence I decided to write you. I would be very interested in offering you a part-time paying job in which you could earn a lot...

 

Before I go further, I’ll like to give you a brief profile about myself. My name is Dave Mcdonald. I’m 45 years of age, man, married with 3 kids (a lovely girl and 2 boys). Due to the nature of my work, I travel a lot. But my Family resides in Brooklyn, New York. I just resigned my job as a research scientist for the company ( Modern Agricultural Research Institute of Northern Highland) but I still work as a freelance consultant for the institute which gives me very much time to do my own work which is basically being a freelance researcher who could be employed by research institutes to do research projects anywhere in the world.

 

Presently, I have just been granted a funding to head a research project in the tropical regions of UK regarding rare and vulnerable plant species and this would be commencing very soon.

 

This research program will be funded and sponsored by some of my UK and Some European counterparts. But the only set back is that my counterparts want to make payments for the research informs of cheques drawn from a UK bank, And its a known fact that money in such forms cant be cashed outside the UK.

 

Getting an accountant in the UK 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,which I am not ready to deal with...

 

This is where your assistant and service is needed.

 

WHAT I NEED YOU FROM?

 

At this point, I will be glad if you could work with me as my representative in the UK. You will be working as my payment assistant in charge of collecting and processing the payments from the Associates. Since they will be making the payment by cheque drawn from a UK bank, you will be collecting this payments cheque drawn from a UK bank that you can cash at your bank,

And for this service, I agree to pay you 10% of every amount you collect from the Associates.

 

JOB DESCRIPTION?

 

1. Receive payment (cheque drawn from a UK bank) from My Clients/Associates.

2. Cash the Payments at your Bank

3. Deduct 10%, which will be your percentage/pay on Payment processed.

4. You will then forward the balance via Money Gram or Western Union Money Transfer according to my instruction...

 

HOW MUCH WILL YOU EARN?

 

10% from each operation! For instance: you receive £6,000 on my behalf. You will cash the payment and keep 10% to yourself before forwarding the remaining! At the beginning your commission will equal 10%, though later it will increase up to 12%! For the research, I am expecting about the sum of £40,000 in total from the clients (though the money will be sent in bits). You could make over £4,000 for the little time we will be working together...

 

ADVANTAGES?

 

You don’t have to go out of your present daily activity in order to engage in this Job (i.e. you can do this Work easily without leaving or affecting your present Job). You will work as an independent contractor right from your home /office. Your job is absolutely legal. You do not need any capital to start (non of your personal funds is needed).

 

REQUIREMENTS?

 

18 years or older.

Legally capable.

Responsible, Reliable and Trustworthy

Ready to work 3-4 hours per week.

Able to check and respond to emails often.

Easy telephone access.

 

IS THIS LEGAL?

 

Yes it is. As a matter of fact, my lawyer checked all legal provisions to know if there is any domestic or international law against businesses or deals in this manner. And he said its allowed by all LAWS. So know that doing this work is safe and legitimate...

Guess all is well understood, I would be glad if you accept my proposal. E-mail me on

dave_mcdonald_company@yahoo.co.uk, if you are interested...

At least it is different and in almost decent English but I think the fellow is a wee bit confused about the UK's location or else he though y'all still had that empire thing.

Edited by chesters1

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

Grangers law : anything i say will  turn out the opposite or not happen at all!

Rumbled he is. Pleased he is not. Sorry Andy should be for rudeness to a poor 3rd world scammer-wannabe.
