The "Representative Needed" Spam Scam

If only spammers would just be honest and tell us what they really want. But yet who in the right mind would reply to a message that sounded like this:

"Please give me your information so I can sell it to other people."

But no, instead they have to rephrase their messages so they sound like this:

---

Attn:Sir/Madam,

let me crave your indulgence to introduce my self to you. I am Mr Thomas Lee, Managing Director Tran Export Co.,Ltd. My Associates and I deal in the Import and Export of Raw Materials to North America and Europe.

Recently some of our clients/customers in the United States informed us that they would no longer be making payments by Letters of Credit and that payments will only be made to and within the United States as is their new company policy.

As a result of this we have not been able to collect our outstanding sums of monies being owed us, We are therefore searching for a representative who can help us establish a medium of getting across to these customers and also assist us by providing an Investment Account in the United States, where our monies can be paid into from time to time.

Please if you are interested in transacting business with us we will be very glad, However I will appreciate it If you would furnish me with your full details:
Names:........................................
Address:......................................
Occupation:...................................
Company Name:.................................

Be informed that if you do not have the capacity to receive large funds in your account and also cannot manage these funds as we may instruct you from time to time then you need not bother getting back to us.

We have agreed to give you 10% commission for your assistance in this transaction, Your commission will be deducted at source by you that is as soon as the funds are received in your account you will deduct every scent you spent.

Your prompt response will be greatly appreciated. You can contact me via my private email account: tlee_tranexport@yahoo.com.hk

Yours faithfully,
