New job offer from careerbuilder.com
Hello, my name is Joe Scammer and I work for a company called ABCDEFG Corp. I found your resume on careerbuilder.com because we are searching for reliable professionals across the United States who are interested in a potentially lucrative partnership with an international firm.
ABCDEFG Corp. is a leading software company in Latvia and we are currently expanding our operations in the United States. But because of various banking and legal restrictions, we are unable to open commercial bank accounts in every state. As such, ABCDEFG Corp. is recruiting partners to conduct simple banking transactions on our behalf.
The process is simple. If you were interested in becoming a US partner of ABCDEFG Corp., you would sign an agreement that would make you an official financial representative of our company, able to accept invoice payments on our behalf. Instead of asking our American clients to conduct complicated international payment transactions (which are especially complex for Latvian companies), we have them work with our partners to submit payments. You would then forward the payments to us, a simple transaction for an individual.
ABCDEFG Corp. pays its partners a 10% commission on every transaction. In addition, we will take care of any incremental tax liability you incur. Depending on which state you are in, and of course on how good business is, your monthly commissions could be as high as $40,000 per month.
If you are interested in working with us, or if you want more information, you can contact me directly at my personal email address: help@abcdefg.us. I'll need your full name and mailing address so I can send you the contract and other paperwork necessary to get started.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
