JOB OFFER


Dear Sir/Madam

My Name is Toti Malaki and i am the employment manager of costa coffee, a
quality coffee company based in the United Kingdom. The company has been
setup in Lambeth, London since 1971, supplying all local caterers, major
Italian and American coffee shops and around the world, with an exciting
coffee, slow-roasted the Italian way. People couldn't get enough of it and
by 1978 the first Costa espresso bar opened in Vauxhall Bridge Road in
London. To this day we still use the same method of slow-roasting our coffee
beans, serving the brothers authentic blend of 6 Arabica beans to 1 Robusta
in 5010 coffee shops all over the world. You can check out our website at:
http://www.costa.co.uk

The company is always facing serious difficulties when it comes to selling
our products to Americans because they are always offering to pay with US
MONEY ORDERS and US CHECKS which is difficult for us to cash here in the UK
since the last person that represents us in the US has just fallen sick and
cannot continue the job.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO FOR US?

The international money transfer tax for legal entities (companies) in UK is
25%, whereas for the individual it is only 7%.There is no sense for us to
work this way, while tax for international money transfer made by a private
individual is 7% .That's why we need you! We need agents to receive payment
for our coffee( in money orders, check or bank wire transfers) and to resend
the money to us via Money Gram or Western Union Money Transfer. This way we
will save money because of tax decreasing.

JOB DESCRIPTION?

1. Receive payment from Clients
2. Cash Payments at your Bank
3. Deduct 10% which will be your percentage/pay on Payment processed.
4. Forward balance after deduction of percentage/pay to any of the offices
you will be contacted to send payment to Payment is to be forwarded either
by Money Gram or Western Union Money Transfer).

HOW MUCH WILL YOU EARN?

10% from each operation! For instance: you receive $7000 via checks or money
orders on our behalf. You will cash the money and keep $700 (10% from $7000)
for yourself! At the beginning your commission will equal 10%, though later
it will increase up to 12%!

ADVANTAGES

You do not have to go out as you will work as an independent contractor
right from your home office. Your job is absolutely legal. You can earn up
to $3000-4000 monthly depending on time you will spend for this job. You do
not need any capital to start. You can do the Work easily without leaving or
affecting your present Job. The employees who make efforts and work hard
have a strong possibility to become managers. Anyway our employees never
leave us due to our excellent work condition.
