Attn Franchesca, I received your application,I'm sure you'll understand I tend to have a very busy schedule at this point. 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 basis and the flexibilty 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 extra 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 a pile up of work 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 this 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'll take up the challenge and on the long run we should have a relatively sound working relationship between us. 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 do shopping for office equipment/printing materials for my new office,A check will be mail to you from a Client this week , the money is needed to get some Tools need for my new office.So the payment you are receiving is for my Client and the Money is Needed to furnish my New Office , the Money is needed to get some Equipments and tools into the Office . So once you received the Check (payment) all you need to do is deduct your $500 weekly Pay from it and send the remaining money to the Manager to arrange those Tools inside the Office.My fabrics and textile webiste is listed below and you can go through it respectively.

I think you're the right person for this post, 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 basis 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. Most times there wont be much to be done so its flexible. If you can manage your time properly, this job may even give you some extra while you do something else on the side.
I'm online most of the time so I prefer to we contact each other through ( [email protected] ) on MSN Messenger. I would like to chat with you.
I will be glad if you are willing to work with me and i promise to be a good boss. I will be glad on your commitment in working.
