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.

I'm sure you'll understand I tend to have a very busy schedule at this point, as I am presently in Ontario Canada for a business exhibition, 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.

I received your e-mail and it was a pleasure hearing back from you. I hope this marks the beginning of a good working relationship all together.

From the details you have sent to me, I would want to give you the opportunity to be my new assistant; I do hope my decision will be worthwhile.

I do have a couple of urgent tasks for you which will include you making some purchases and payments on my behalf. You will receive checks and some money orders via mail and courier services which will also cover your wage for the week as well as all other purchases and payments needed to be made on my behalf. I will update you further on this and will give you a comprehensive list on how to go about them.

Kindly reply this e-mail as soon as possible to further signify your interests in working with me. I have confidence in you and I am looking forward to a good working relationship between us. I hope you will be up to, perhaps better than my presumptions about you.

The economy is tough these days. If fact it's so bad that you will receive a fake job offer from bozo's like this before you will get a genuine job offer. Here's another one.

Dear Applicant

Hope you're having a pleasant day today.You contacted me applying for the position which I advertised on Craigslist,I'm glad to inform you that your application has been granted favorable after a proper assessment at your CV.Do take time to go through this introductory mail and feel free to pass any questions on. I'm Mr Daniel Wilfred ,married with 3 wonderful children. I'm a relatively successful entrepreneur and huge investor in the real estate market which tends to be my main source of income, I'm also a member of unicef and World health Organization WHO and other smaller charity organization .

I'm a private research journalist and I travel every now and then within and outside the US working on various independent projects, this is why I
need someone who can help keep up to date with all of my activities especially when I'm away and amidst my busy schedule. Please note that you are being hired only on a personal level, all correspondences would be made and promptly reported to me personally.

Due to my frequent travels, the position is full time and home-based meaning you may need to set up a home-office if you don't already have one; we will discuss the costs of setting this up as we move along. Most importantly, you need to have a regular internet access, with this, I can easily convey instructions no matter where I am on what I need to be done at a particular time.

Most of your activities will be carried out locally and most official documents and packages will be delivered via courier services. You will be actively involved in my personal, business and financial life. In summary, your activities as my Administrative Assistant amongst other things will include;

* Running personal errands, supervisions and monitoring;
* Organizing and maintaining diaries, memos and making appointments;
* Taking on some of the my responsibilities and working more closely with management and other staff related to me;
* Handling and monitoring financial activities

Basic wage is $500 a week. Any extra personal expenses (transport, gas, etc) incurred by you while on an errand or otherwise will also be reimbursed by me at the end of each working week.

This position is very flexible and it is difficult judging the exact number of hours you will be doing,
Working with me is basically about instructions and following them, ,so I need someone who can be able to meet up with my irregular timings. There is also a very sensitive issue on trust, dedication and accountability which I believe will resolve itself as time goes on.

This is only an introductory e-mail, as time goes on we should be able to arrange a proper meeting to get things started officially. I am presently in Ontario Canada for a business exhibition, however, I do have a number of things you could assist me with immediately, prior to my arrival. do provide the following details about yourself for my personal record update in my data base
