This is an offer from the desk of Platinum Exports in the United Kingdom, also know as Great Britain. We would like to know if you would be interested to work for us, as a part-time job, which would not disturb your current job.

We have our company here in U.K and we deal on Car Buying, Car care, Insurance, Training on how to drive, Loans and leasing, Motorcycle services and so many more.

We have few clients from the USA/CANADA, California, Florida, New York, Ontario, Quebec and so many other states in the USA/CANADA, but we have Been having problems with most of our clients from USA/CANADA When it comes to payment because most of them prefer to pay via Money Order or Travelers check which cannot be cashed easily here.

So we are for a trust worthy person who will be helping us with the payment issued out by our clients inform of Money Order or Travellers check since payment like that can be easily cashed in the United State.

We are also planning on establishing a new branch in the USA/CANADA, very soon, but we really need a representative that we would trust and have believed in. The payments are going to come via Check or Money Orders, so all you need do is as soon as you get the check/Money Orders, you just take it to your bank cash it and deduct the 15% of the money and send the rest to us via money gram or western union.
