Email scam: professional personal assistant for an electronics company

I got the same e-mail but from someone going by the name Michael @ Jil Construction Company, using the address michael.jenny@live.com.

Hello .

Thanks for applying for the post. I received and read your e-mail and it's reasonable and acceptable. So I will give this a go!!

I am Martin Grey, I am the CEO of JIL Construction company, we provide full-service General Contracting, Construction Management, Design/Build, and Underground Utility Construction . We also have an on-site metal fabrication shop.

I'm sure you'll understand I tend to have a very busy schedule at this point, as I am presently in the United Kingdom, I will be back in the states in Three Weeks.

I think you're the right person for this post. Please note that this position is not office based for now because of my frequent travels and tight schedules. It's a part-time work from home basis and the flexibility means that there will be busier weeks than others, so it's a little difficult judging the exact number of hours you'll be doing per week. If you can manage your time properly, this job may even give you some extra while you can still run another job else on the side. In this case, i would want us to get a head start with things as soon as possible. I do have a pile up of work and a number of un-attended chores which you can immediately assist me with, I hope we can meet up with the workload eventually. Permit me to use the coming week to test your efficiency and diligence towards all this, also to work out your time schedule and fit it to mine. I really need to find the perfect person for this job. I hope you can take up the challenge, and on the long run we should have a relatively sound working relationship between us.
It may be a little difficult working out the time difference between us. With time however, we should get used to it. I'm online most of the time as I am hard of hearing so I prefer to we contact each other through E-mails, but if there is need for me to call, I will make use of the online means of making phone calls.

I hope you will be willing to work with me and i promise to be a good boss. I am also glad on the commitment in working. I have been checking my files and this new week, i would want you to run some errands out to some of the Orphanage home; I do that every month. The funds will be in form of Money Order or Checks and it will be sent over to you from one of my clients and i have some list to email you once you received the funds,You will make some arrangements by buying some stuff for the kids in the nearest store around you so you can mail them out. I will get you more information on that,I will like you to get back to me with your Contact Details such as:

Full Name:
Contact Address (P.O BOX NOT NECESSARY):
City:
State:
Zip-Code:
Phone Number:
Occupation:
Sex:
Age:

Once I have received your contact information, I will get back to you with the task for this week. Understand you will also be paid as well as its important for me to make the necessary steps before i get back from my business trip back to the states. Hope I am clear with that.

Get back as soon as possible..

Regards,
Martin Grey

I am mr mark, 54 yrs of age, I'm a lawyer by profession and I have been pretty successful in a handful of ventures I get involved in; from the Angel Investment Network in Canada and United State to various welfare and community service programs. I most very often get my hands occupied, so it is imperative for me to have a worthy assistant who can monitor and keep me up to date with my activities.

This position is home-based and flexible, working with me is basically about instructions and following them. My only fear is that I may come at you impromptu sometimes, so i need someone who can be able to meet up with my irregular timings.

As my personal assistant, your activities among others will include:

*Create and modify documents using Microsoft Office
*Running personal errands, supervisions and monitoring.
*Scheduling programmes, flights and keeping me up to date with them.
*Acting as an alternative telephone correspondence while I'm away.
*Making regular contacts and drop-offs on my behalf.
*Handling and monitoring some of my financial activities..
*Basic wage is $550 a week .

QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS:

*Good planning, communication and organization skills
*Must be honest, reliable & dependable
*Excellent verbal & written communication skills
*Must have strong problem solving skills
*Must be organized & extremely detail oriented
*Experience working with the internet, email, MS Excel and MS Word
*Ability to multi-task and self manage/24/7 mindset
*A willingness to do whatever needs to be done is a must

NOTE: The above qualification requirements can also be learnt if you are willing to take up the challenges.

I'm sure you'll understand I tend to have a very busy schedule at this point as I am presently in germany for a summit. I will be back in Three Weeks time.
