Our main factory is located in Asia where we extract raw Gold and Diamond.Am the one appointed in cordinating any payment that we are expecting from any of our client to get paid as soon as possible.But all transfers and anything that has to do with payments are referred to Africa because that is where we get most of our goods from.The cost of coming to your location to get payments is very expensive,we spend up to $1,300 in buying tickets only.And that is why we need a representative in your location who will be handling the aspect of getting payment on our behave instead of we coming down there that will cost us much money.We are willing to pay 10% per every payment you receive.You can still keep your regular job while you work for us.

All you have to do is help us receive payments from our customers in your present location.These payments are in checks,or bank transfers.As soon as you have been employed you will have access to the company conference that take place in New York and some other part of America and Europe.But the problem we are having is trust because we need someone that is honest and trustworthy,But we have our way of getting anyone that get away with our money,That is why we let the FBI branch in Washington DC USA get involved.So that our payment and money can be secure and safe.

Kindly contact me back on my personal email address michealmfredson@aol.com with your full name,full contact home address,age and sex including phone number if you are interested.Then i will get back to you with what the company says about your interest in working with us.

It looks like complete spam. The email itself is from michealfredson@communitywork.us
Which from doing a quick whois search it seems that no one owns communitywork.us, which means the sender must have some how masked his real sending address. This guy needs a real job.

Also looks like a major scammer using Craigslist postings that later get flagged for removal. No good, stay away.
