Subject: Representative required urgently
Hello,
I am Kelvin Douglas, a financial consultant, formerly residing in California, US but now based in Canada. I presently work with a Paymaster who is licensed to receive and transfer funds for and on behalf of individuals and corporate bodies globally. Can you be our payment representative?
The Paymaster wants a payment representative in the United Kingdom for the sole purpose of receiving payments for most of the supplies made to UK companies and environs by some of our registered suppliers/partners based in the Canada, US and Europe because most of those companies that have received supply from our partners take advantage of our not having an agent in the UK and its environs to delay payments.
So it is our consideration that with you and your reputation as our payment representative in US, every client directed to send his payment to you will comply easily knowing that you are based there in the UK. Most of the payments come by wire transfer and certified checks/drafts for our record purposes.
Most importantly, please note that before any payment will be directed to your account, that payment must be verified by the paymaster and his bankers to be clean and has no link with money laundering and details of the paying customers will be given to you for record purposes.
This is the reason why the Paymaster has requested me to help in getting a trusted person to facilitate payments and receive such payment on behalf of his partners for a compensatory service commission of 10% of whatever amount is paid through you. Can you handle this for us and take your percentage? What is the limit of your receiving bank account in a single transaction?
I assure you that there is absolutely nothing to worry about in this business because I have done several businesses with the Paymaster in the past and all ended successfully hence this new opportunity.
Please let me have your opinion and your details if you can handle this together.
Kelvin.
