JOB DETAILS:
FIRST ASSIGNMENT:
Shopper's Guide wants you to run a survey on two prominent companies in your area.
The 1st is a Western Union Location
The 2nd a wal-mart store
There have been reports about laps in the services of their Management and some of their staffs,
Their complains are based on reports which their customers forwarded anonymously and Phone calls which were also made to the head office.

The Western union location was reported for evaluation for the following reasons:
I) Customers have reported their money missing
ii) Slow services
iii) Unbalanced transfer charges
The 2nd company was reported to be rendering
(I) Poor services
(ii) Rudeness to customers
(iii) Excess charge
(iii) Late opening time and Closing before time.

Your Secret Evaluation would be:
1) To make a transfer of funds from this western union location to our Survey Agent, And the funds would be picked up by another Agent at another location where a customer reported her funds missing.

2) You would have to record the time at which you go to the location and how many minutes it took you to get service.

3) You would be sent a Check which would cover your payment of $400 and also for the duty. As soon as you receive the check, you should cash in at your bank, Deduct your $280, and use the rest of the money for the services.

4) Upon receiving the funds, The locations address would be forwarded to you, and also the Name and address of whom the shoppers transfer would be made to You would have to keep a comprehensive report on every activity you carry out.

5) You would also provide me with the name of the cashier that attended to you. Please send me a reply so we can confirm your appointment and make sure that the check is issued out to you ASAP.
