Hello everyone !

I found a translation job offer on a website about food demand of a global population, it's about 6000 words.

The address is : [email protected]
They will tell you he's having health problems, and he's working for a client, who is going to send you a check you can cash before sending the translation back. And then :

Hello Claire,

How are you doing today?... See more

Hello Claire,

How are you doing today? i am feeling better today.I just got an email from my client saying the payment had been sent.I email him your information,telling him to send your full payment. But there was a mistake as my client purchase a money order check payment of euro 3000 of the money he owe me on your name which include some of my medical surgery and traveling agent fees to you. I don't think there is anything to worry about for the trust i have in you, you will keep your full payment for the translation and send the excess funds. Please watch out for the payment and let me know when you receive it.

Thanks for your understanding and i hope to hear from you soon.

Best Regard
