Our company participates in the investment management on the territory of Russia. From February, 1 2006 we have begun work with the USA.
We have already clients from the USA who want to invest their capital in Russian industry. Therefore we help the American businessmen to carry out the
financial analysis of Russian market for more effective investment of their capital. At the request of the American clients we search for the most favourable
offers on work in the financial market of Russia. Thus we help our clients in the development of their business on the territory of Russia.
Now we want to explain to you a problem which arises at work with the American clients.
For work with the American clients and for business dealing in territory the USA under the American law our company has been registered
In Tax services of America. Now our company has all necessary documents and essential elements for work with the American clients:
UNITED BUSINESS INVEST, INC.
Address: 33 E YALE LOOP
IRVINE, CA 92604
Tax ID (FEIN): 330919210
Duns Number: 09-745-2606
Reference Name: CALIFORNIA UCC FILINGS
Date Provided: 06-29-2005
Therefore we pay taxes from all incomes in territory of America. According to the Tax Legislation of USA our company should execute the following rules:
1. Our company should have the financial representative who will be the resident in the USA
2. All financial operations should is carried out through the financial representative in the USA.
For payment of our services our clients can pay money directly to Russia, but it CONTRADICTS LAWS the tax Legislation of USA.
Therefore now the employee in the USA is necessary for us and now I want to offer you this post.
WE ACCEPT BANKER'S CHECKS, DIRECT TRANSFER OF MONEY TO HANDS, INTERBANK TRANSLATIONS, FOR PAYMENT OF OUR SERVICES. THE MAJORITY OF THE AMERICAN CLIENTS
PREFER TO USE CHECKS FOR PAYMENT OF OUR SERVICES. THEY CONSIDER THAT IT IS THE MOST RELIABLE, CHEAP AND CHECKED UP WAY FOR PAYMENT. AFTER CONSULTATION WHICH
WE GIVE BY E-MAIL OR PHONE, THEY MAKE OUT A CHECK. MANY CLIENTS ARRIVE TO OUR OFFICE IN MOSCOW AND AFTER WORK WITH OUR COMPANY THEY WRITE OUT CHECKS. ALL
THESE CHECKS ARE VALID ONLY ON THE TERRITORY OF THE USA. THEY CAN BE CASHED ONLY ON THE TERRITORY OF THE USA. WE HAVE BRANCHES ONLY IN RUSSIA AND CIS
COUNTRIES. THEREFORE ONE OF THE DUTIES OF THE FINANCIAL MANAGER IN THE USA WILL BE RECEPTION OF BANKER'S CHECKS FOR CASHING IN.
SOME CLIENTS WILL PERSONALLY ARRIVE TO YOU FOR PAYMENT OF OUR SERVICES.
Also I want to explain to you a situation concerning payment of taxes. You should not worry concerning payment of taxes from your incomes.
Because you should not pay any taxes from your incomes as you will be submitted as " Independent Contractor " and according to the contract
which you sign with our company, you will be exempted from all taxes.
If you agree to work in the quality of Financial Manager in the USA you will have price-work wages. These are 10 % from all incomes in the USA
(checks, bank operations, payment by cash). At the first stage of work every week you will receive checks for 8000 USD,
therefore your earnings will be not less than 800 USD per week. With the increase of the amount of our
clients in the USA your earnings will increase as well. It is a very favourable offer for you which you should not miss. If you disagree for this work,
please inform us as we have many candidates for this position but only ONE WORKPLACE which now is offered only to you.
Please give your answer during two working days. And now we hope for your consent as we require fair, responsible and respectable employees.
At present we have a small amount of clients in the USA as our company has only recently started work with the USA but by calculations of the marketing
department and according to the business plan in 3 months our company will have more than 30 clients in the USA.
Thus, in 3 months you will serve more than 30 payments from our clients (checks, bank operations, payment by cash) a month for a total sum not less than 70,000 USD, therefore your earnings will be more than 7000 USD a month.
It is not required a lot of time from you for this purpose. It is enough one hour a day for performance of work. More simply, when you act in the quality of
our financial manager, we will inform our clients about you and explain them that you are our financial manager in the USA.
Then our clients will choose a way of payment of our services:
1. payment by cash. They will come to you for payment. Now our company has no office in the USA therefore it complicates work.
But our company plans opening official office in 2007. Therefore in the future clients will arrive to this office.
2. BANKER'S CHECKS. If clients which cannot personally arrive to you that they will write out checks for your name and then will send
These checks to you by regular mail.
