Dear Sir/Ma My name is John Perez and I am an artist. I live in United Kingdom,with my two kids and the love of my life. I have been doing artwork since I was a child. That gives me about 23 years of experience. I majored in art in high school and took a few college art courses. Most of my work is done in either pencil or airbrush mixed with color pencils. I have recently added designing and creating artwork on the computer. I have been selling my art for the last 3 years and have had my work featured on trading cards, prints and in magazines. I have sold in galleries and to private collectors from all around the world. I am always facing serious difficulties when it comes to selling my art works to Americans, they are always offering to pay with a US POSTAL MONEY ORDER or TRAVELER'S CHECK, which is difficult for me to cash here in United Kingdom. I am looking for a representative in the states who will be working for me as a part time worker and I will be willing to pay 10% for every transaction, which wouldn?t affect your present state of work, someone who would help me receive payments from my customers in the states. I mean someone that is responsible and reliable, because the cost of coming to the state and getting payments is very expensive. I am working on setting up a branch in the states, so for now I need a representative in the united states who will be handling the payment aspect. These payments are in money order or Traveler's Check and they would come to you in your name, so all you need do is cash the money order, deduct your percentage and wire the rest back. But the problem I have is trust, but I have my way of getting anyone that gets away with our money, I mean the FBI branch in Washington gets involved. It wouldn?t cost u any amount.You are to receive payments which will be sent to you by FedEx or UPS from my business partners, which would come in form of a moneyorder then you are to cash it and send the cash to me via western union money transfer or money gram money transfer, all transfer fees should be deducted from the money. If you are interested, please get back to me as soon as possible with the following information requested below on the application form to enable us proceed.
