Would you like to work online from Home/Temporarily and get paid

an office presently in the USA. You don’t need to have an Office and
this certainly wont disturb any form of work you have going at the
moment.

production monitoring and process flow are seamlessly integratedthrough
a company-wide computer network.

About the job:
We have sales representatives all over the world to distribute our
products. You know, that it's not easy to start a business in a new market
(being the US). There are hundreds of competitors, close direct
contacts between suppliers and customers and other difficulties, which impede
our sales promotion. We have decided to deliver the products upfront,
it's very risky but it should push up sales on 25 percent. Thus we need
to get payments for our products as soon as it possible. Unfortunately
we are unable to open Bank Accounts in the United US without first
registering the company name. Presently with the amount of Orders we have,
we cannot put them on hold. For fear of loosing the customers out
rightly.

Secondly we cannot cash these payments from the US soon enough, as
international
Checks take about 14 working days for cash to be made Available. We
lose about 75,000 USD of net income each month because we Have money
Transfer delays* your task is to coordinate payments from customers and Help
us with the payment process. You are not involved in any sales. Our
Sales Representative makes direct contact for sales of products. Once
orders are received and sorted we deliver the product to a customer
(usually through FEDEX). The customer receives and checks the products. After
this has been done
The customer has to pay for the products. About 90 percent of our
customers prefer to pay through Certified Checks and Money orders based on
the amount involved.

YOUR TASK we have decided to open this new job position for solving
this problem.
Your tasks are;
1. Receive payment from Customers
2. Cash Payment at your Bank
3. Deduct 10% which will be your percentage/pay on Payment processed

possibility to get customer's payment almost immediately.
For example you've got 3000.00USD
You take your income: 300.00 USD
Send to us: 2700.00 USD
First month you will have 15-20 transactions on 3000.00-4000.00 USD
so you may calculate your income.
For example 10 transactions on 3500.00 USD gives you 3500.00 USD
Plus your basis monthly salary is 1000.00 USD
Total: 4500.00 USD per month

After establishing a close co-operation with us you'll be able to
operate with larger orders and you'll be able to earn more. Our payments

100% cheque scam.

Hi Scamagnet, welcome here!

As ChrisSmith said, that is definitely a scam.
The letter that you posted is one that I have seen many times. I personally have reported and gotten web hosts to shut down about 20 "textile" websites that used almost the exact same letter to recruit people. The scam is also known as "money mule". Here is a link for further reading.

To add to what others have said, there is no such thing as a check cashing job. No legitimate company could possibly need such a service.

Legitimate companies have bank accounts and have no difficulty depositing their revenue checks.

If a company did somehow have that problem, why wouldn't they simply ask their customers to send payments via Western Union directly instead of asking you to deposit a check and send money through Western Union.

Any "job offer" that involves cashing checks is a scam.

They forgot to mention the part where you get hauled off to jail for check fraud. :lol:
