>>>>>TEXT OF FRAUDULENT EMAIL FOLLOWS<<<<< Hello Prospective Employee,
At HABITAT FOR HUMANITY INTERNATIONAL, we work hard to improve and provide training, technical expertise and support in fund-raising to the national organizations in all the regions of the world.
However, the actual work of HABITAT is carried out at the community level by affiliates that have been officially approved by the HFHI Board of Directors. The International Board of Directors (IBOD) are volunteers from around the world who share a deep concern for care giving.
This is demonstrated in our role as a corporate help for the HAITI RELIEF PROGRAM with money raised going towards helping sick and disabled children and their families of the catastrophic earthquake that shattered lives
.
We are an organization with a remarkable heritage and need help in donations processing.
This Could earn you an average of $500 - $100! 0 weekly and as much as $5000 (TAX FREE) in a month depending on how active you are.
You can be rest assured that you WOULD NOT be required to pay any fees upfront and this won't affect your current job earnings or disability payments in any way and you can conveniently work from your desk at home.
Private donations will be made in your name from our esteemed Voluntary Donors in your region and other parts of the world and you'll be allowed to deduct 10 percent (10%) of the total amount on these donations. This serves as your remuneration for the great service you would be rendering in support of saving lives in HAITI.
Balances (after the 10%) shall be required to be forwarded to the Regional Co-ordinators of the HAITI RELIEF PROGRAM.
We're presently understaffed for this project and the liquidation of these donations is of paramount interest. Here, it takes longer periods and a lot of protocol and a substantial amount is deducted from it by the banks. This vacancy would last for about 24months after which your contract would be reviewed and renewed OR terminated based solely on performance.
Please Note: You won't have to do any travelling and WILL NOT be required to pay any fees, this position won't affect your present employment.
