Detailed Job Description – PERSONAL ASSISTANT
I got your resume and it has been reviewed, I did appreciate i. So I will give this a GO"
I’m looking for someone that can be trusted and reliable to work very well and with good understanding.
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 amongst other things will include;
*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 $500 Weekly
I’m sure you’ll understand I tend to have a very busy schedule at this point,as I am presently in Australia, I will be back in Three Weeks.
I think you’re the right person for this position,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 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 extras while you do something else on the side. As I have said, I’d want us to get a head START with things as soon as possible.I do have lots of works piled up presently and a number of unattended 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’m confident you can take up the challenge and on the long run we should have a relatively sound working relationship between us.. I’m online most of the time as I am hard of hearing so I prefer we contact each other through E-mails,but if there is need for me to call, I will be glad to do that.I am glad you are 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 what i would want you to do for me this week is to run some errands out to some of the orphanage home, I do that every month.A payment inform of a Cashier Check/Money Order will be sent over to you from one of my clients and i have some lists to email you once you received the funds,You will make some arrangements by buying some stuff for the kids in the Orphanage at any 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:
First Name :
Last Name :
Street Address :
City, State, Zip Code :
Cell Phone Number:
Home Phone Number:
Sex :
Current Occupation :
Email Address :
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.
I will await your response.
Richard Cabagnot

Of course it’s a scam.
MAJOR SCAM — run away, far, far away.
Anything involving " I will send you money orders, checks," or whatever is trying to get your BANK info. The money order or check will bounce and you will be stuck for the funds.

Major scam. One of the oldest in the book.

It is crap.
There is nothing business like about the letter. Any thing so badly presented could be real.
The lack of grammar, paragraphing, use of capitals, should send alarm bell’s off as you ask yourself do educated people actually write like that.
It seems to be acceptable on here to write such long paragraphs here, and probably at schools and that type of thing, but definitely not in a business letter.
My opinion is that it is from someone poorly educated.

i got the same exact e-mail! i think this is such a scam because i never sent an application for a personal assistant in the first place. Plus it mentions that the job is a "go" already without even scheduling for an interview or a background check first! A typical scam also mentions the urgency of the situation and wants you to reply immediately. Mentioning an orphanage in the letter is also so out of place and there are no contact numbers of any kind. Scam!!!!
