We get these all the time, but I actually took the time to reply. First up is the email I received, second is the response. (An yay! I remembered finally how to do the § symbol)
Quoting "From Mr. Draper" :
Hello Sir/Madam,
We are a small and relatively Software Development and Outsourcing Company specializing in enterprise application development, system integration, corporate networks and other software solutions for business, finance, and for various types of problems. My company based in Ukraine but at this time we open new office in Bulgaria. We’ve earned ourselves a reputation of a reliable and trustworthy partner working successfully with a number of West European , North American and Australia companies and providing them with reliable software development services in financial, telecom and media sectors.
Unfortunately we are currently facing some difficulties with receiving payments for our services. It usually takes us 10-30 days to receive a payment from your country and such delays are harmful to our business. We do not have so much time to accept every wire transfer and we can't accept cashier’s checks or money orders as well. That’s why we are currently looking for partners in your country to help us accept and process these payments faster.
If you are looking for a chance to make an additional profit you can become our representative in your country. As our representative you will receive 8% of every deal we conduct. Your job will be accepting funds in the form of wire transfers and check payments and forwarding them to us. It is not a full-time job, but rather a very convenient and fast way to receive additional income. We also consider opening an office in your country in the nearest future and you will then have certain privileges should you decide to apply for a full-time job.
This is an entry level opportunity in the field of financial
services. Our financial professionals work with clients to help them achieve their many financial goals such as saving on taxes.
Please if you are interested in transacting business with us we will be very glad. Please contact me for more information via softua@aim.com and send us the following information about yourself:
1. Your Full Name as it appears on your resume.
2. Education.
3. Your Contact Address.
4. Telephone/Fax number.
5. Your present Occupation and Position currently held.
6. Your Age
Please respond ASAP and we will provide you with additional details on how you can become our representative. Joining us and starting business today will cost you nothing and you will be able to earn a bit of extra money fast and easy.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact us with all your questions.
Sincerely yours
Mr. Draper
P.R.O.
of SoftUAE Co softua@aim.com
My Response:
Dear Mr Draper (if that is indeed your real name),
Of course I would love to make a lot of money doing nothing but act as a "Middle Man" for payments. But you and I both know that I would end up doing something more than nothing, that something would be me as some "bitch" for a very large hairy man in the local government motel for the criminally minded.
I have a better offer, why don't you just buy lots of the computers that I sell, for wholesale price, and retail them in your country and earn an honest days pay? No? I didn't think so. So based on this I cam going to have to decline your tempting, but ultimately highly illegal, offer and save myself from some serious ass ramming.
Sincerely,
Mr R. U. Khnutz
